Uh... how do I clean my mouse?
Or is the mouse pad?

I'm to lazy to try anything.

um right well just turn it over and unscrew the thingy. take out the ball. clean it. also look at the roller thingies. they might have krep on them.

(i'm still trying to figure out if this post was meant to be serious)

Aside from cleaning the ball, seriously check the rollers. They should be completely smooth. I know the first time I opened up a mouse, I thought those rings on the rollers were supposed to be there.

Also check your mouse surface.

LOL. You tried that? What, did you grab one without looking at the price, stand in line, and when the teller says "That'll be ฮ" your face is that of a person who just watched their grandma slowly killed with a potato peeler, and you're sitting there blinking in shock?
