I guess it’s too late for you now, but i’ve found the easiest and fastest way to clean the scroll ball is DEAD SIMPLE: flip your mouse over, and drag it around in circles (upside-down) on your mousepad! This seems to de-gunk the ball pretty well. You’ll know it’s clean when the view in your window starts scrolling in all 4 directions again.

Moving parts often lead to problems. That’s why I love my 3G iPod which has no moving parts (except for the hard drive, of course): http://guides.macrumors.com/iPod_(3G)

well going for unrelease products is not really something i’d like to do, cause you simply never know when/if they will really be released. I donno how long the new mouse will work, but i’m just too used to working with a mighty mouse to wait for new release or to use a different mouse. At the moment i have a small logitech notebook mouse and it’s a pain to use it. It’s just way to small for my big hands.

I had a mighty mouse, and when the scroll wheel got dirty, I went to clean it, and broke the ring around the edge of the mouse. I just was never happy with this thing, except the novelty of it. I’m back sing my logitech mouse (makers of the BEST mouse IMO), and I’d never buy one again. But that’s just me.

Hm, I’d wait with buying a new mighty mouse until apple releases the one with “touch-recognition” instead of the scroll ball. there’s some rumors (and patents) that apple will release a mouse that will recognize in which direction you want to scroll without a scroll-ball or anything…

well, i opened it once and i didn’t think it would break like this… without the scroll-ball the mouse is useless to me, so trying to open it was the option i choose then… next time i have to be more careful…. i hope the new mouse will be working for a longer time.

Yeah the Mighty Mouse might be great but the scrollball becomes unusable too easily. I cannot use mine from some time now and don’t feel like opening it..I hope they revise the design to at least make it open easily!
