Legend has it that this is a true IBM ordering information note.

Abstract: Mouse Balls available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)
Mouse balls are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse fails
to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball
replacement.

Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of
mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the
underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder
than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon
manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the
pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced using the twist-off
method.

Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive
handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball
replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.

It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for
maintaining optimum customer satisfaction; and that any customer
missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these
necessary items.

To reorder, specify on the following:
P/N 33F8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls
P/N 33F8461 - Foreign Balls
