My MX 518 is finally having some issues (scroll wheel only works about 75% of the time)

I can live with it for now but am looking at getting another mouse. Something similar if possible, I dont need much other than two thumb buttons as I've gotten used to those.

Any suggestions? I have 30 bucks in amazon credit and am willing to spend some more if its something really good.

The problem with most mice, especially something as old as the 518, is that tons of dust and hair gets in the inside and gets in the contact points. If you're comfortable taking the mouse apart, you can clean out the scroll wheel and where it comes in contact with the wheel mechanism. That would make it work properly, and you won't have to buy a new mouse.

I haven't done that before but willing to give it a shot. Was planning on getting a new one anyway.I'm sure I can find a guide or something. Worse that could happen is I have to use some basic mouse until I buy a new one.

Skip the canned air and use qtips with 92% rubbing alcohol to clean any dirty areas, and remember to let it air dry completely.

This is why g400 is infinitely superior to MX518

Clean it like all the other faggots suggested. The MX 518 is objectively the best mouse in existance. Keep it as long as you can.

No. Mine has never looked that bad and I've had it for 9+ years now.

Wash your hands, you disgusting fuck.
