I have had a Microsoft optical trackball for about 18 months, and find that all I need do is remove the 'gunk' that builds up on the three rollers/bearings that hold the ball in place. I have had no need to do anything with the optics....

The left button would only work about 50% of the time. Bought a new Logictech wheel optical mouse, Mandrake still sees it as the old one which I figured it would since the only difference is instead of a ball there is a light. Question is, how is this mouse cleaned? Do I clean the lens on the bottom? If so, with what?
