The main problem is dirt buildup on these rollers. There¶s one for horizontal movement and one for vertical movement
and primarily you want to scrape all the dirt off of these rollers with your standard screwdriver going all the way around
scraping any dirt that builds up in there both sides.

And there¶s usually like an idle roller, which maintains all the tension on the ball, and it doesn¶t hurt to clean that one
too. So start by scraping with a screwdriver, knock out any dirt that has accumulated in there.

Next, you want to wet one of your cotton swabs. You never want to spray or pour anything directly in here. That will
probably be the end of the mouse.

No big deal. It's only a three-dollar mouse but we're here to try to revive it. With your wet cotton swab again roll around
each one of those rollers. Just check and make sure that you've got all that dirt removed.
