Geeze, finally.

I was a late jumper re: the Mighty Mouse bandwagon, but since locking in I’ve never looked back. The scrollerball is OOTT[1].

And on the topic[3] - re: said Mighty Mouse scrollerball, and the inevitability of it getting dirty and no longer working:

1. Acquire electronics-friendly moist towelette (ex. monitor-cleaning cloth)
1. Use it to firmly and repeatedly wipe across the scrollerball again… and again… and again…
1. … and again…
1. … until function resumes.

You’ll know (good) things are happening when crud starts to come off of the ball and get picked up by the towelette. Trust me[2].

[1] One of those things.
[2] Caveat emptor.
[3] And this is discussed a lot in the comments for the TUAW article
