The computer mouse I still use today has a ball in it
When was the last time you cleaned it out?
Earlier this week it stopped going up and down, only side to side. Had to clean some crap off the x-axis wheel.
Good stuff, was imagining a 30 year old mouse with 30 year old crud! 🤮
Given how fast crud accumulates and how much it impacts use, I don't think that would be usable, and probably wouldn't have been for some years.
Its 30 years old for sure, but its cleaned every other week or so!
