Title: I just lubed up my trackball with endust
Post by: Cupil on February 09, 2007, 04:49:53 PM
it was all gunky and wasn't moving smoothly even after removing the gunk from under the ball

i tried lubing it up with endust (i used to use pledge which is more waxy but i'm all out) to make it move better

now i'm a little worried that i might get cancer or something.  should i wipe it off or am i safe?

BEST FUCKING MOUSE EVER MADE!!!!!!!

too bad they dont make them anymore, fucking microsoft. Mine is dead right now and i cant fnd a replacement at all in my town. I miss it very much.

protip about the gunk that gets stuck to the ball bearings. Clean it out regularly or it will fuck the mouse. A bit of the shit that gets stuck in there got into the optics area and keeps shorting out the mouse. Toothpicks rock at getting the gunk out.

Its the fastest mouse i've ever had and great for picking off heads online.
