Corrective Action

The curser doesn't move smoothly - I need to clean my mouse, I need to adjust my mouse, my mouse needs maintenance.

A clean mouse is a happy mouse! If your curser jumps all over the screen the mouse ball and rollers probably have become dirty.  (NOTE: this applies only to a mouse with a ball, it does not apply to optical mice.)

To clean your mouse:

• Turn the mouse over.
• Open the cover by turning it - follow the arrows.
• Remove the ball and clean with rubbing alcohol or similar solvent.
• Clean the rollers in the mouse - rubbing alcohol and Q-tips work well.
• Replace the ball and the cover.
