Anticorp, Nice! I used a Logitech MX518 for around 12 years before I finally decided it was too grody to continue using. I heard they released a MX518 homage mouse a few years ago, and I’m thinking about getting one. They were the perfect mice.
mrfriki, Great follow up, nice to see it’s working again!

It’s just paint. I guess if OP cared, they could sand it off and spray it with an even coat to make it pretty.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that this mouse broke because of the 3+ layers of definitely-not-paint that I can see in this pic
TacoNot, I don’t think that’s paint wear. It looks more like grime buildup to me
Nikls94, It’s paint wear. The grime was cleaned off.
RandomLegend, How about you let that bad boy soak in some IPA for a couple of days? xD
bionicjoey, Instructions unclear, soaked in India Pale Ale and now it’s even stickier
BirdyBoogleBop, On the plus side you have now made a Mouse IPA. Really brings out the hoppy flavour.

Taking something apart to fix it and not also cleaning it is a handiwork sin
SheeEttin, That would probably dissolve some of the plastic parts.
stoy, I am glad you got it working again, and thank you for warning me about the state of your mouse, I will bring some disposable gloves if I need to use it
