Not sure where I got that mouse from, I’ve probably had it for 20+ years, especially given where I found it a few months ago, when I went looking for one.  It was disgusting enough that I didn’t really want to touch it.  The cleaner mouse didn’t work.

FWIW: I don't know what the brown color comes from in this case, but I've in the past cleaned up some electronics that was badly encrusted with tobacco smoke residue.  A very effective cleaner for that is Windex, which is also quite mild and unlikely to harm any plastics.  At an earlier time I used alcohol, which worked too but badly messed up a plexiglass display cover on the device in question.  Plexiglass is odd that way, it's one of the few plastics that is damaged by ethanol.
