Where the Functional Mice Go

After testing a mouse, neatly wrap and rubber band the mouse's cord and put the mouse in one of the Backstock Boxes:

  • PS2 rollie mice go in the Hardware Grants box labeled "PS2 Rollie Mice"

When box is full, recycle extra mice.

  • PS2 optical mice go in the Hardware Grants box labeled "PS2 Optical Mice"

When box is full, recycle extra mice.

  • USB rollie mice go in the Hardware Grants box labeled "USB Rollie Mice"

When box is full, check the Store backstock box. If possible, fill it.

  • USB optical mice go in the Hardware Grants box labeled "USB Optical Mice"

When box is full, check the Store backstock box. If possible, fill it.
