Where the Functional Mice Go
After testing a mouse, neatly tie up the mouse's cord and put the mouse in 1 of 3 boxes:
- Pack 2 button mice into a box
- Pack 3 button mice into a box
- Pack mice with scroll button into a box
Note: When a box is full, write the quantity and type of mice on top of the box & ask where it goes
