Cleaning out a ball mouse.
My 14 year old son recently picked one up out of this big pile of old computer treasure I was given by a client and said "What's up with this mouse?"
Pfft, cleaning it out. Just hard boil an egg and take the yolk.
Couple this with defrag, a nice relaxing time.
Trackballs still need to be degunked though and they are alive and well (and superior imo)
As an old school retro enthusiast I can assure you a good laser mouse is leaps and bounds better than a trackball any day easily. I still love the track ball though because I was there gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago.
