some of you may have read my saga on getting a kensington trackball in audio technology last year
well a year later and i was wondering without checking inside why they were giving me the shits
i just popped the balls out and cleaned the insides where a years hand skin had settled into a dough like mess on the lasor sensors
brushed it all inside with a paintbrush and in about 30 secs and i am in love them again

its amazing how small increments of something going wrong can rob you without noticing it happening !
time to clean your trackball / mice out folks

LOL - yeah; bit of a shock the first time, Rick.

I try to remember to do mine every few months. I'ts amazing the dust and fluff and whatever that accumulates, even in a few months. And yes, they do feel and work sooo much better after a bit of tlc.

I desexed my mouse years ago.. Not a ball to be seen. Still need to scrape the filth off the little teflon feet every now and then though.

looked everywhere but can't find the balls on this optical mouse

During the moulting season, look for fur balls.
