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.

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.

That’s good to know, as Isopropyl Alcohol is my go-to for cleaning electronics.
