just a curious question. how often do you pop out your trackball to free the lint and dust building up underneath? is it bad to always pop off the ring? will it ever get loose so that the ring doesn't stay on?
I just cleaned mine a few days ago but I think I might need to get a new one. I won't clean it every week though. Maybe once a month or whenever it stops responding like it did before. It wasn't scrolling down but I cleaned it, it worked but it was somewhat rough. Perhaps I will just buy another one later.
I've had my Curve almost a year and a half and have never had it off to clean yet. I am kind of OCD about making sure I have clean hands before touching it tho, maybe that helps.
I cleaned mine once and it didn't come clean, cleaned it again and it stopped scrolling downward-probably because I bent that silver part that holds everything together. So - I refused to clean them anymore. I bought a black ball and black ring. When I need another - I'll buy it. Its worth the $17 - cause I don't want to damage anything.

I took mine out and there was a little man in there selling spaghetti. No big deal though asked him to leave and he did. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
