How to Clean White Discolored mouse?

Bought a steelseries GW 2 mouse from EB games 4 weeks ago maybe and already it's started to get discolored (i got some sweaty palms...)

Any ideas?

Try using rubbing alcohol. I use it on the white plastic parts on my iPhone 4S and it makes it back to white!

1 pint (500ml) Hydrogen Peroxide, 10 to 15% strength (40 vol) (available from hairdressers' supplies, e.g. the 'Sally Beauty' franchise in the UK)
2 heaped tablespoonfuls of Xanthan Gum (available from health food shops or online)
1 level teaspoonful of Glycerine (available from pharmacies)
1/4 teaspoonful of "Oxy" laundry booster[/QUOTE]

All that effort to clean a mouse?! Spend $5 in Chinatown and walk out with a new replacement. That has always been my solution for aging input devices.

he has had it for 4 weeks and i am sure he paid more than 5 bucks for them.

reason why i like blue/black models of mice :) clorox wipes work good at cleaning mice.
Poor Grammar and being long winded don't fit well together, Oh well.
