the thing i did was that whole section pops off but carefully and then you can clean out all that dust and crap out of it. let me know if you have any problems i might have a better way for you to clean it.

No i cleaned the lil wheels with a Qtip and put it back together i could see which one was the one giving me problems and clean it pretty good and it seems to work great now

I can actually feel it turning when before i had to push hard and sometimes it would miss and just slide

How do you talk in it? Seems to big to hold up to your ear and I think walking around with a bluetooth headset looks gay.

are you talking about the main wheel?

Me?

Theres like 4 wheels on the track ball holding thing..kinda like a etch-a-sketch....you should see one thats dirty or more and just clean it

On the bottom side of the white thing the track ball is sitting in

Got it?
