🔍 Key Concepts

• How a traditional mechanical ball-type mouse detects movement • What parts inside a mechanical mouse actually move and get dirty • Why using liquids or high-pressure air on small electronic mechanisms can be risky

💭 Think About

• Which internal parts of a ball-type mouse physically touch the moving surface and are most likely to collect dirt and cause erratic motion? • What maintenance action can safely remove built-up dust and grime from those moving parts without damaging electronics? • Look at each choice and ask: does this target the right components, and is it a safe, practical maintenance step?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which components inside the mouse convert the ball’s movement into cursor movement (think about small rollers/wheels vs. switches). • Eliminate any option that introduces liquid/solvent where it can seep into electronics or plastics. • Consider whether simply blowing air will remove grime that is stuck on contact surfaces that rely on friction.

If a mechanical mouse of a computer workstation is operating erratically, what maintenance should be performed?

Compressed air should be directed onto the underside of the mouse.

Remove the plastic surround on the underside of the mouse, and after removing the ball, mechanically clean the limit switches.

Solvent should be sprayed onto the underside of the mouse.

Remove the plastic surround on the underside of the mouse, and after removing the ball, mechanically clean the two wheels.
