A surprising amount of cat hair, I think I need to brush her more. I just kept pulling balls of felt that had once been cat hair out of the workings of the scroll wheel.

It feels sooo much exactly the same now.

    The mouse I defurred is in fact an M570 trackball, and yeah I usually have the ball out of them quite frequently to clean the three little points. My old Microsoft branded trackball had a much larger hole to push out the ball, this one is barely big enough for a finger, and the one on the MX Ergo is so small you can’t even use most pens.

      Yeah, I used to have an MX Ergo. That was even worse.

      I’ve been thinking about switching to a Kensington Slimblade Pro. But that would mean giving up on the two extra buttons. And that one mouses completely differently.

        I honestly didn’t find it to be that much better of a mouse, the angle of the ball meant I couldn’t move it as far in the vertical axis, and the rubberized coating on mine perished so it’s got petroleprosy now.

          Eww that’s disappointing. In that case, I’ll stick with my Logitech for now.
