Cleaning out a ball mouse.
My 14 year old son recently picked one up out of this big pile of old computer treasure I was given by a client and said "What's up with this mouse?"
Pfft, cleaning it out. Just hard boil an egg and take the yolk.
Trackballs still need to be degunked though and they are alive and well (and superior imo)
As an old school retro enthusiast I can assure you a good laser mouse is leaps and bounds better than a trackball any day easily. I still love the track ball though because I was there gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago.
Couple this with defrag, a nice relaxing time.
