Crows Nest  - Fixing a Dragging Optical Trackball (Also Selling These)
Channel: nowthatsjustducky
Date: 2020-01-01

So, this part of the channel is similar to the Retro Rookery, only it is for more modern things, whether for sale, unboxings, repairs, and whatnot.


For this one, I am showing, using some Logitech Marble Mouse Trackballs T-BC21 getting a little fix up.  I have 4 of these.  Three are actually for sale on my eCrater store at https://secretarybird.ecrater.com/p/19735270/logitech-t-bc21-marble-mouse-usb-4


The 4th one is currently in very occasional use on the laptop in my bedroom, but if someone wants to offer a quarter of a Benjamin for it, I can use something else.  In fact, I plan on it when another wireless trackball comes along (unless it is worth too much to keep of course).


So anyway, one of the trackballs was dragging really bad.  The second was a bit as well; and for a while, so was the third; but strangely, the dragging stopped just before I was going to start this video.


Now I get to show you how I ultimately fixed them, so they roll smoothly again.


Simply amazing what a $1 can of furniture polish and a tissue can due for something like this.
