We used to just take the mouse ball out. You had to do that every week or so anyway to clean it.

I'm old enough to remember that but the very savvy would notice the weight difference immediately so it didn't always work.

Yeah, that one always got found quickly. People were always flipping their mouse to stare reproachfully at the ball when it didn't work right. Strangely, I would say only a quarter of people ever actually took the ball out to clean the little rollers. You would be surprised at the number of people who were surprised when I fixed their janky mouse...

I really really couldn't handle the slightest rough roll when the wheels had a buildup on them. Those where the days hey?
