I bought a Mighty Mouse for my Mac laptop about six months ago. I am positively in love with the thing and miss it immensely whenever I am forced to use a standard mouse with those unwieldy scroll wheels. But one downside of the Mighty Mouse is the scroll wheel’s tendency to get clogged up with grit and scroll all jagged-like. Apple’s official cleaning advice is useless and doesn’t fix the problem, and the mouse has been designed so that disassembly is discouraged.

So this morning, armed with a knife, a screwdriver, some cotton buds, glue, and this website, I hacked my Mighty Mouse open and fixed the bloody thing. And despite its new slightly-chopped-up appearance it now works beautifully.
