Anyone know what goes into refurbishing a mouse?
I just imagine there’s a lone dude in a room somewhere with a slightly damp rag wiping down mouse after mouse and sticking them back in packaging.

Probably a new shell with the old internals after they’ve been checked.
I’ve recently found myself taking this mouse off of my gaming PC and using it for casual couch gaming in front of the TV. Sitting down in front of the gaming PC this morning and wondering where the mouse went (First World Problem!) leads me to think maybe I should keep a second one of these around for when I can’t figure out which couch cushion my original is hiding under.
I find it interesting that every Woot Off is the Worst Woot Off ever. According to that logic we should reach a point in the next 10 woot offs or so where only one crappy item is put up at such a ridiculous amount of money that it never sells out and thus ends a woot off with nothing sold, and since it could not get worse than that, Woot offs would by definition cease to exist.
warning!!! I just bought a razer lachesis 5600 dpi 2 months ago from woot… It was refurbished and was DOA. I contacted razer and they asked for me to ship it to them. Been 1 month since I’ve heard back from them.
I am a professional mouse refurbisher and you just described my job to a T, with the exception of the slightly damp rag. I actually use a microfiber cloth, spritzed every few minutes with an isomeric alcohol.
It is possible though, every new woot off could be the worst ever. Didja see Office Space? Kind of like his life, every day is the worst day of his life.

This is assuming that the Woot off crappiness is a quadratic formula that never actually reaches the axis and not a linear one.
