gross computer mouse 

"hey, my scroll wheel sometimes doesn't scroll, or scrolls the wrong way, lemme clean that out"
*opens the mouse*
"how is that still working at all"

it was less gross than it probably looks, very dry dust, not gunky at all, but still, hats off to Logitech, this thing is built like a tank

anyways this is the reminder to clean your peripherals

@noiob my scroll wheel squeaks but it's less than two months old, question is whether I open it to see if I can clean it or just get it replaced

@ChlorideCull it's a mouse, they squeak from time to time

don't think that's a dirt issue at two months, I'd guess it's friction on the edge of the opening or sth

@noiob *glare*

yeah, might open it up and try greasing it a bit, it doesn't look like it's rubbing up against anything though

@ChlorideCull might just be that the axle isn't lubed enough
