Introduction

This guide will show you an effective way of cleaning the Apple Magic Mouse 2. This guide does not include a tear down of the device to clean it but shows how to clean the outside of the mouse itself.

NOTE: Canned air is optional but is recommended for this guide.

Tools

Step 1

Using a soft or microfiber cloth, rub on the glass, laser sensor, and the metal portion of the mouse to remove any dust or smudges.
After doing a dry wipe off the outside of the mouse, it is recommended to use isopropyl alcohol to sanitize the mouse. Water can be used as a cleaning alternative too.
Make sure to apply the alcohol or water to the cloth and use small amounts when cleaning to ensure the internals of the mouse stay dry.

Step 2

Dirt and debris can build up in the charging port and in between the rubber and the mouse. Constant cleaning can ensure the mouse stays clean and functions well.
Using your spudger tool, carefully move the spudger in the grooves of the mouse and rubber. This will help to remove and loosen any debris.
Using the flat edge of the spudger, carefully move it around the lightning port to loosen any debris.
It is recommended to use canned air to remove any debris from the port, otherwise you can lightly shake the port to remove any loosened debris.
Be careful when cleaning the lightning port as there is a risk of damaging the port itself.
