Excess super glue cleanup on mouse.

[xodinexox]

This summer my mouse button cracked and it fell off. The next day i thought it would be a good idea to super glue it up. It worked. But I couldn't clean up the excess super glue in time and it hardened. I thought it wouldn't bother. But now the super glue is getting a bit annoying while i play CS:GO. Here is a picture www.imgur.com/zO0nzHM . The day that happened was on July. Today is December. I've tried nail polish remover. It didn't work. So can you guys give me some tips on how can i clean that off?
Thank you.

Sandpaper. Or you can look at something like gaff tape and just cover it.

I haven't tried this, but the link below is from the superglue website so it is probably legit. They say to use acetone. You can probably find it at home center/paint store.

Yeah just file it down with sandpaper.

Acetone will likely wreck the paint on the mouse itself, recommend not doing it unless sandpaper doesn't work.

Acetone would probably remove the glue, and most of the surface along with it.
Acetone is not friendly to plastics.

Yeah, i tried acetone 2hours ago. The whole cotton ball was black because of the black plastic. Sooo.
I might try sandpaper, but wouldn't that scrape off the plastic and make it not smooth as it used to be?

Depends on what grit paper you use.
When I built my desk you have to sand the lacquer on it between coats, and again at the end. Obviously something like 120 grit would leave the surface rough. I started with 200 and ended up at 1200 grit paper.

agreed, acetone would be bad. it will remove glue but also make plastic soft.

if its just a very slight lip edge at the crack you might be able to scrape some of it off with a razer blade.

otherwise, sanding it off is likely the best way. if you keep reducing the grit you could end up with a very smooth finish. as for the paint finish... not much you can do about that except repainting it.

Not a bad idea. I'm gonna try to scrape it off with razor blade
