How to Save a Wet Computer Mouse
1. Disconnect Immediately
• Unplug the mouse from your computer or remove the batteries if it's wireless.
• This prevents short circuits and further damage.
2. Open the Mouse
• Carefully unscrew or pry open the casing.
• Be gentle to avoid damaging clips or internal components.
3. Remove Excess Liquid
• Use a lint-free cloth or paper towel to blot away visible moisture.
• Avoid rubbing—just dab to absorb.
4. Clean with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)
• Use 90%+ IPA to clean the circuit board and internal parts.
• IPA evaporates quickly and helps remove residue that could cause corrosion.
5. Dry Thoroughly
• Place the mouse in a warm, dry area (not direct sunlight or extreme heat).
• Let it sit for at least 24 hours to ensure all moisture is gone.
6. Reassemble and Test
• Once fully dry, reassemble the mouse and plug it back in.
• Test all buttons and movement to confirm it's working properly.
