    Default Nooo....Mouse lens scratched

    So I have a G5 Gaming mouse and my daughters play with it. No big deal, right? WRONG! I walked into our bedroom to find my yougest with a screw she found somewhere stuck into the the opening for the lens! Is there a way to get rid of them or make them better so it isn't as noticeable? I play CS:S and it's no good, my mouse is all shaky like I have an aim bot. lol

    Any help or tips appreciated.
    Thank in advance!

    i'm not sure how it works with lasers but with optical there is a clear peice of plastic that covers the sensor. if the laser does the same thing you might be able to buy a cheap laser mouse and replace it with or without some mods.

    I donno if that would work if they are close to the same as far as design. This does have a plastic piece over the actual "laser lens" but it looks like it would be a fairly unique piece. Thanks for the idea. I might just get the G9. Got some Best Buy gift cards

    you might be able to get some kind of lens repair kit or cd scratch filler stuff but it might mess with the angles and what not.

    Take it out. Sand, then polish. Should be fine after that. Or what about a clear coat? Clear over it a few times, sand then polish the clear coat. Might be worth a try if you have a spare lying around.

    I think SgtM is on the right track, but I wonder if good ol toothpaste would work? Works great for scratched CD/DVDs, and if the lens isn't too gouged, in theory it could work.

    However, applying the toothpaste could be another story altogether.

    I did try the toothpaste and it actually made it worse. Even setting the DPI to 800 and taking out the mouse pad. With the mouse pad, it was horrible. I didn't try the clear coat thing which I can try. The wife has crap loads of nail polish. I did buy another mouse (another G5).

    the plastic is pmma based stuff so get some scratch remover and polisher that you would use on plexiglass take your mouse appart and polish it up. that should fix your issue depending on how bad the gouge is.
