Mine did occasionally get clogged, but clearing it up was relatively
easy most of the time. That said, I did have to take one or two apart to
give them a more thorough cleaning, which was a pain and resulted in the
mouse not being quite as well assembled. Considering the ball is a
physical moving part, I more or less expected it to get clogged up with
dust occasionally. It was truly no big deal to me at the time. *shrug*
