I love my Mighty Mouse, especially the way the little scroll ball allows you to scroll effortlessly in any direction. A lot of users have reported the little ball starts sticking and this happened to me today, I could scroll down or sideways but not up. I found a simple and quick fix to deal with the problem and while it’s probably appeared elsewhere on the web I figured I would share it here.
The scrolling problem is because dirt gets underneath it. First slightly and carefully moisten the ball, I used spit on my fingertip. :) Then take a clean sheet of paper and turn the Mighty Mouse upside down. Run the ball rapidly in all directions on the paper. In about 5 seconds my problem was fixed as the dirt worked itself loose and came out on the paper. I love my Mighty Mouse again. :)
