The computer mouse I still use today has a ball in it

When was the last time you cleaned it out?

[–] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Earlier this week it stopped going up and down, only side to side. Had to clean some crap off the x-axis wheel.

Good stuff, was imagining a 30 year old mouse with 30 year old crud! 🤮

Given how fast crud accumulates and how much it impacts use, I don't think that would be usable, and probably wouldn't have been for some years.

Its 30 years old for sure, but its cleaned every other week or so!
