Cleaning MX518...

by Panda • 20 Jul 2008, 02:53 • Journals
...Is so frustrating :(
Managed to assemble it all back together after losing some more springs (for scroll wheel!) but it's nice to play with a clean mouse again D:

Anyone else take apart their mice to clean them?

I did it once to my old MX518. You can guess what happened after that.

R.I.P. Old MX518.

It was way before the ask perfo era!

Come to think of it, I guess I have this mx518 for 2-2.5 years now!

just some pieces
well if you don't play piano and possibly don't like classical music at all it is not strange for you to not like it that much/see it as great music :P

i think he's a great composer and one of my favourites, (this is gonna make me sound gay) his music is very melodic/emotional/dark/happy and he mixes all of them into one great piece most of the time

hehe i like venetian snares as well :P
Parent
▼
fredd 20 Jul 2008, 11:02
i know you do, have you listened to that song though? :D it's like jazz or something in the beginning

anyways i downloaded the whole vsnares discography like a few days ago, listening to it all atm :D
Parent

perforator 20 Jul 2008, 11:02
I don't think so, the motive starting at 0:58 sounds veeeery familiar, almost like a Metallica rhythm, not sure though :p

old classmate of mine had the full discography as well, about 37 albums he once told me :d
Parent
▼
fredd 20 Jul 2008, 11:08
I have 42 :P

anyways, if you wanna listen to some more good vsnares songs besides the rossz album in which every song is awesome, listen to Epidermis, Twelve, Choprite, Einstein-Rosen Bridge, Befriend A Childkiller (Remix). I havn't listened to all of the albums yet, but so far these have been my favourite songs :p

perforator 20 Jul 2008, 11:09

Only had to disassemble my mx518 when the left mousebutton decided to go all gay on me.. fixed it last year and it works like a charm (except from the worn out mousefeet ofc)

clean it how my friend?

i replaced the cable. could do w/ cleaning the case again though.
▼
Panda 20 Jul 2008, 14:19
I just took every single screw out pretty much (already has experience cleaning the MX510 out though), the 'shell' comes off, and so do most things so it gets rid of all those grubby stuff from sweat, food etc :P
