@gamingonlinux can we just make it a general "clean your balls" PSA? 😆

@gamingonlinux I still keep a couple of these balls as a memento xD I always liked them as a child (born in the 90s).

@lritter Although the ball itself was kinda nice to play with. Pleasantly heavy and soft to the touch.

Throwing it at someone's head was a guaranteed K.O.

This year no, but I clean my trackball every month or two

@gamingonlinux I keep an old mouse like this just to clean it every Jan 15th. Thank you for the reminder!

@gamingonlinux I too am a trackball user. I keep my ball tidy.

@gamingonlinux I do like to softly soap my mouse balls on a regular basis. As I am sure we all do.

@gamingonlinux This used to be part of my job as a school computer technician :) I was a keen proponent of optical mice replacements :)

@gamingonlinux back in the 90’s, a coworker tried to fix his mouse … with WD40 …

Remember to get the water only lukewarm to not burn your ball

@gamingonlinux hahaha--remember when? And of course before mice there was WordStar!

@gamingonlinux I cleaned my mouse last night right after disassembling my mechanical keyboard to clean under the keys.

@gamingonlinux yep I have. I've got the Logitech Ergo which is a ball mouse and it collects tons of goob.

@gamingonlinux It was amazing how the mouse tracking would feel much "sharper" after a deep cleanse like this. 🤓

@gamingonlinux I am SO glad I don't have to do this again!
