A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

How do you clean them? For the MX master, the worst bit to me is the rubber inside the scroll wheel(s).
Re. breakage, one was almost certainly my own fault with transporting it too much / carelessly (primary scroll wheel could no longer enter the "clicky" mode), though I've also had the sensor for mouse movement fail on another one (those two are the ones I recently "merged").
I use some electronic safe foaming cleaner I get from work and that does the trick. For any detailed stuff like the scroll wheel I'll use a toothpick or sewing needle to get into the grooves. I never spray the cleaning foam directly on the mouse, just apply it through lint free cloth. That seems to do the trick for me! I also picked up a carry case for when I'm transporting mine.
