GOOD INFO - How to Clean Your Roller-ball Mouse
*************************************************************************************
Normally, there is a removable piece that holds the mouse ball in. It comes off with a little twist. Pull the ball out and remove any excess dirt, etc. Usually just wiping off the ball with a lint free cloth will do the trick. If it's extra grimy, rinsing it off under running water would be a good idea (the ball—NOT the mouse), just make sure that it's dry before you re-assemble things.
Next look inside the mouse where the ball was. You'll probably need to take a pair of tweezers and carefully pluck the lint off the rollers (they act like a magnet for lint). Sometimes just using your fingernails will work. You might even try to blow it out afterward with some of that canned air stuff, if you have some.
