Hey guys, you may not believe this but I kinda got myself into a sticky situation...

I’ve been using my wireless mouse recently and when I tried pulling out the USB from the port on the side of my keyboard the metal part of the USB got stuck inside while the other half was pulled out.

It’s now stuck inside the USB port and I am not sure on what to do. It’s one of those small wireless USBs. I don’t want to damage the port nor the metal part of the usb. Is there any way for me to safely remove it? If so please tell me!

Try magnetism. Neodimium is the best magnet you can get.

Use a small pliers and some tape.

Just to update you guys. I managed to get the piece of metal out of the USB port! Took some time but I was able to piece the USB back together. Everything still works! I had to use those small pliers that had the small teeth in them to manage to pull it free! Thanks for the help everyone.
