This is a issue I have been battling over the years.
Finally a solution that works.
I submerge the whole damm mouse in alcohol, let it sit, 10-15 min, that goo trapped in the mouse ball unit needs to soak in order to come off.
then pull it out and let the mouse drain,
get some paper towel and lay it flat on the table. take the mouse and set the ball on the towel, and do a bunch of figure 8's, go one direction,
then go backwards following the same pattern, by now crud should be coming out.
toss it back in the alcohol, then take out and repeat again.
Toss it back in the alcohol again, only this time, take it outside to the air compressor and blast that ball out,
wiping anything that comes out with paper towel,
just for giggles toss it back in the alcohol again, and then blast it out again with the air compressor.
now hang it up by the cord for a day….
and it should be as good as new, the 2 I did like that back in February are still going strong,
any other way is just a temporary solution.
