[SOLVED] How can I prevent my dead skin cells from getting on the scroll wheel while using my Steelseries Rival 600?

[VincentZheng]

I've just gotten my Rival 600 about a month ago. Then I started to notice some disgusting dead skin cells in the gaps between the grips and the mouse. Especially the scroll wheel. Is there any way that I can prevent this from happening? How can I remove the dead skin from my scroll wheel?

Vacuum?

Wear gloves, use a exfoliating scrub or a derma-abrasive tool and lotion after before gaming. That being said a mouse is not overly complicated to open up and disassemble to clean, unscrew and pop the wheel out and use cotton buds or a soft brush to get the dirt out.

I didn't even think to check, and the same problem on my G-Pro the wheel seems to be a magnet as well!

An old toothbrush scrubbing it while upside down did the trick nicely. Some packing tape helped clean up the post-cleaning flak off the mouse pad.
