What can I say, another piece of Microshit.
(Re wearing out trackballs, that's tough to do... I had an A4Tech one that I used for several years. I finally had to trash it when all three microswitches went wonky for some reason, and replacing them with fresh ones didn't help.)

This article in the wiki is good for getting the forward and back button working as well.
Surpisingly its lasted alot longer then any of the logitech trackballs I owned before it. I would usually wear down the ball supports to the point where the ball would stick constantly in five or six months with the logitech balls. I've had this microsoft ball for about two and a half years now and its still going strong. I'm sure the fact that I broke my gaming addiction about two years ago has nothing to do with that though
