How can I clean my mouse wheel without taking apart my mouse? - eviltoast

I noticed that my mouse wheel when scrolling up would sometimes scroll down instead (and vice versa). I figured it’s probably because there is some dirt and grime inside the mouse wheel casing that’s somehow interfering with the sensor.

How can I clean it without taking the mouse apart? I guess I could fill it with some isopropyl alcohol and wait a bit to shake it out or something but I don’t know how well that would work and I don’t want to make it worse obviously.

Does anyone have a better idea maybe? It’s a Logitech G703 Lightspeed

    Do you have an air compressor? Yes -> Use that. No -> Do you have a drinking straw? Yes -> use that -> Do you have lung capacity? Yes -> drinking straw No -> Do you have a fine brush? You see where this gets you? Right. Give a man an air bottle, and he can clean his mouse one day, show him how to think practically and he will be able to clean anything any day of his life.
