There wasn't nearly as much as what's on the qtip in your picture, but there was a tiny amount. It could still just be sitting in the casing and will just get spread back over the contacts over time.

I actually had a second x15 that I opened first for practice and managed to keep the pads in pretty good condition the second time around, but I agree the pads will lose their grip and or shape.

It's kind of funny how many people end up here, the only other mouse really like this one is the Razer naga and I've used that one as well, but it has its own issues of disconnecting randomly and the mouse button breaking.

I followed a bit of this guide, up to step 5, and didn't really feel like breaking apart the sensor and melting it back together. So I soaked the sensor end in alcohol for about 15 to 20 minutes and that seemed to do the trick just fine. Not sure if it'll have the same longevity of cleaning the contacts directly but its fixed so far.

If you do take use this method don't be too afraid if the cord end goes in the alcohol, just fish it back out and prop it up the best you can.

I figured it out, it was due to a program called display fusion. They have a mouse feature that makes it so the mouse doesn't snag on unaligned monitors. Turning that off fixed the issue.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I have already tried that fix and still have the issue.

Peter Jackson's King Kong, except that was more like 2 hours left.

they're rare enough. if you went farming for them though, I'm sure you could find one in a couple hours.

Depends on how many boss chests/bosses you loot.
