Over time, dust and debris may accumulate around the trackball, affecting its smooth operation. To clean:

1. Gently push the trackball out from the bottom of the mouse using a pen or a similar blunt object.

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your trackball mouse.
