Over time my mouse builds up scum from my hands, on the plastic parts of the mouse it's easy to remove just scrape it it off with my nails but how do you remove the scum on the rubber parts of the mouse?

He's a Canadian. Means he was born with a set of had tools and was doing carpentry, mechanical, or some other form of physical labour since he was weened.
He just needs to wash/shower after such work but before hopping on the computer.
If today's youth of the US and certain european counties ever did any real (out doors)work  this would be common down here too.

Some people can't help it.
I clean it once a week or so. My hand's just get clam really easy, add random skin flakes to that and you get a dirty mouse at times. I blame pointy models scraping me skin off (AKA. scum for the scum god).
Use some rub on alcohol.

I opened this thread assuming it was about the rodentine BASTARDS who appear to be engineering some sort of takeover bid here at Streetwolf Towers.

Intercourse.
"Getting it done" with anything solves whatever issues you had originally.
Of course, other problems could crop up.

I don't know about mouse scum, but to get rid of rebel scum I recommend a few stormtroopers

Gently scrape with a thumbnail, or other random tool.
And then be glad that you only have one mouse, and it’s optical. I used to be in charge of the public computer labs at a small college. Keeping the mice clean and working was one of the less fun parts of my job. I was so happy when optical mice came down in price and got good enough we could use them everywhere. Cleaning the internal rollers and mouse balls is about as bad as the jokes they generate.

I have to ask, as the guy running the labs, did you find that a lot of the mouse balls went missing?
Seriously, there was this thing about stealing the balls out of mice in our school (admittedly I had a good half dozen rolling round my schoolbag), but it was a good day if you didn't have to ask for a new mouse during an IT lesson.
You had to steal a mouseball, just so you had one in your pocket in case you got an already-harvested mouse

Yup. Mouse balls went rolling out the door frequently. I harvested them from otherwise dead mice to replace the ones that were stolen. Kept a few spares in my work bag for when I did my rounds.
I can see the allure. I’m a fidgety guy, and would sometimes disassemble mice and play with the innards when board. Of course, I’d put them back together when done. But mice had a high turnover rate in general, and the balls were one of the major points of failure. Sometimes, even if they were still there, on older mice they got so much grime caked on they were smooth and hard. No traction on the table, so they would skip and stutter in use. Optical mice are sooooooo much better, particularly in high traffic areas.
