How to Clean a Dell Mouse
The Dell-manufactured Logitech optical USB mouse is equipped with a small mini-receiver for efficient zooming, scrolling, and side-to-side, flexible movements. This cordless mouse is equipped with a LED sensor which monitors movements onscreen and which enables a high-speed tracking of 1,000 dpi especially designed for avid gamers, designers, and laptop users. It can smoothly glide over most kinds of surfaces, even glossy or uneven ones, which other mice cannot handle. One concern with a LED optical mouse is that its surface can get sticky over time, and this could cause jumps and lags which interfere with its function.

Use a Q-tip or cotton swab dipped in a small amount of rubbing alcohol to clean the optical portion of your mouse. Use just enough rubbing alcohol to dampen the cotton tip without dripping.

4
Clean the bottom portion of your optical mouse without having to remove the mouse body. Just wipe its bottom mouse pads with soft, damp cloth, and then run these pads over a clean sheet of white paper. This should remove any residue of dirt or grease that may have accumulated on its undersurface. This could initially solve your problem with uncontrolled jumping all over your screen and lags in your motions commands with your optical mouse.

Wipe the entire body of your Dell optical mouse with soft, dry cloth to complete this quick and easy cleaning process. No internal cleaning will be required, as there are no rotating wheels or internal rollers to deal with in a Dell optical mouse.
