The place I worked for had the contract for all school computers in our part of the state. After two years or so of buying huge numbers of mice because the teachers couldn’t be bothered to keep the kids from stealing or throwing the balls from the mice we started using epoxy to glue in the balls. The teachers immediately started complaining about the kids complaining about it. I was out of that part of IT when Optical mice became more common but I’m sure it was a great relief to those that were still maintaining that pile.
I assume your talking you glued the plastic that held the ball in the mouse because at first read it sounds like you glued the ball and im like. Yeah I bet there would be complaints :)
We just glued the cover in place. It made cleaning them difficult but the guy that ran the company came up with a way to do it quickly in bulk. On the next contract they put provisions in on peripherals and the problem became the schools problem. They quickly determined they could do something about their students behavior.

No we did not glue the ball. Why would anyone consider that a solution?
yeah it just sounded like it initially while reading your comment. It was sorta funny to visualize.
