Hey Guys:

I bought a mouse on Amazon because my work uses them and I really like its features. It was $10 and came in a box covered in Chinese. Nothing out of the ordinary, I've found many treasure's that look like this lol. While the mouse works great, it's got a pretty bad stench of mildew that seems to be baked into the plastic. I broke the rule's and used Lysol Wipes being very careful not to touch any battery connectors, or chips, and to make sure that the liquid wasn't dripping. I figured that if anything could get the smell out it would be a Lysol Wipe. That didn't work, and now I'm back to square one. It's becoming an annoyance, as after using this mouse for 10 minutes my hand picks up the same smell. I opened up the mouse the best I could and checked around for any mold, and couldn't find any. I guess the seller keeps his stock in a cave out behind his house. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Any suggestions?

Suggestion? Request a refund and get a real mouse. Any methods you try can damage it and leave you down $10 and a mouse, safer to cut your losses now
