I have found that either washing the ball with soap and water or tapping it with scotch-tape works well in dealing with the sticky mouse. I also sometimes use an eraser on the rollers.

Yes, I do as good a job as I can getting all the dirt off the rollers (I scrape them with a small screw-driver) and the tiny pieces of lint that wrap aroung the ends of the spindles. I'd been using that mouse (a $7 variety) for about a year and a half and cleaning it always worked, until this last time. I just tried it out some more with the new height adjustment and although it is much better and usable as a backup, it still sticks on occasion when moving it slowly. Duct tape: 100MPH tape. w
