“Mighty Mouse”: Round #2… Trackball issues

When I bought my Mac Pro (2006), it came with a wired Mighty Mouse. It wasn't bad, but after a while, the little “trackball” for scrolling would stop grabbing/working. — And, of course the entire mouse is nearly impossible to take apart without breaking! I tried anyway, but it was never the same after. 🖱👎🏻

After being unhappy with it for months, I picked up a new, wireless Mighty Mouse at the Apple Store this morning, and also received a tip from the staff:

When the ball stops grabbing, just turn the mouse upside-down and move it around on your palm so that it can spin freely in the air and release anything that may be caught inside. A damp cloth can also make a difference. 🖲

Okay… I guess I'll give that a try. — However, this new one feels different when I scroll, so I suspect that they might have updated the design? Hmm. 🤔
