Cleaned the gunk out of my mouse
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.
OP and his mouse
I think I missed that episode of Family Guy.
It's just this scene
I have a Trackball mouse. Remember when mice still had balls instead of optical sensors? Cleaning those made mousing so much better. The same is still true for Trackball users.
Night and day difference when you remove the gunk from the inside of a Trackball.
Sadly, I managed to make a tiny scratch in the ball of my M570, and it often catches on the support inside the mouse. Very annoying. Why did Logitech make removing the ball so frustratingly difficult?
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.
I'm afraid to ask, but my curiosity overwhelms my fear. Why do you have a trackball mouse? It's 2025, there are far better options.
I also switched to a trackball for ergonomic reasons. Not carpal tunnel, something with my thumb. I think ulnar and radial deviation (left and right movement from the wrist) aggravated it. Trackballs helped, as did physio.
A number of years ago I had carpal tunnel syndrome problems. Which was very painful, and I switched to a trackball mouse for health reasons. I'm used to it now.
Hmm. You have a long hair cat type, right? In my experience, Ragdoll hair is the worst when it comes to lodging itself in unexpected places.
Nope. She's an ordinary short hair. It's just shedding season and I haven't brushed her enough.
lodging itself in unexpected places.
A trigger warning would’ve been nice. 🤣
Back when I was still married, I’d pull my wife’s hair out of parts of my body that someone else’s hair should never be.
Hint: it was where “the sun don’t shine”
