Or your trackball?
A friend of mine complained today that, when he spontaneously brought his mouse to his face to get a closer look at the plastic, an acrid smell assaulted his nose. :Q Now this guy is a smoker and is basically odour blind; if he says that the smell was acrid, that means it reeks to high heavens. He swears that he washes his hands often and cannot understand how his mouse can stink like that. I smelled my pointing device and it smells clean, probably because I spongebathe it twice a month with diluted window cleaner spread on a paper towel (and yes I keep my hands clean too
). I told him that his hands start producing grease very soon after being washed and that accumulates over time, along with sweat, so that he should start cleaning his mouse too.
Now, you people should smell your mouse or trackball and judge if you have practised good mouse hygiene in the last few months. Bend over, take a few deep whiffs and remember, it's really bad when you find cheese on your pointing device or when it smells like Danish Blue.
