I have had a couple Kensington Trackballs. I have noticed that the buttons tend to wear out and get sloppy. I think I pound the buttons pretty hard. I have never noticed much of any wear on the rollers. Dirt, oils from the fingers will tend to sort of create what looks like a roadway on the rollers. The center were the large ball rolls will stay clear, while a light build up of crud will form on either side. This creates the illusion of their being a depression in the middle. A mild degreaser and a little picking with the finger nail will remove the crud and leave a smooth surface across the top of the roller. Kensington trackballs use to come with a life time warrantee, but I have no idea if they would honor it and in my case after 10+ years of use I would feel a bit silly asking them too. bill -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
