My Intellimouse explorer has a spot rubbed raw everywhere my hand touches it. Serously. THe most notable is the spot where my thumb rests blow the thumb buttons, and where my index finger lies on the top button.

now that you mention it yes. But I have two and I swap them out when ever one of them dies.

That is DIRT. Take some rubbing alcohol and put it on there and go at it witha Q-tip or something and it should come off.

notice how the silver is wearing off around the base and where i rest my middle finger on the second mouse buttons...

I've had it over a year now, and it has played countless hours of FPS, in fact all kind of games, and at least 8 hours a day minimum being used normally for IE/Word and windows stuff.

I don't have a particularly sweaty paw usually...has this happened to anyone elses's Mx700?

Yep mines worn off as well.

Mine is sitting in the corner of the closet collecting dust. The right click doesnt work anymore and the cursor wobbles a lot.
