    Mx518 dismantle tutorial!

    For a while now, my trusty MX518 mouse has had a bad clicky on the left side (stuck etc...) and was old. I was having to think about buying a new mouse, but! I found a few videos on youtube on how to dismantle them... so i did! I cleaned the whole thing, and it's as good as new! Kind of... but anyway it saved me what? £10,20,30 in buying a new mouse! It was a real mess as it's over 3 years old, with eating at my desk or smoking.

    So these vids might be handy to someone with the same problem!

    Nice to make your mice feel new again. I don't have a MX518, I'm using a Roccat Kone XTD and I wouldn't dare to open this baby up!

    That's great news, I might need to look up my mouse when it starts to show its age also I don't allow my mice to eat or smoke near my PC.
