@FlockOfCats He was a child… at heart. We pulled it out to clean and for some dumb reason, put it in his mouth. He wouldn't be able to explain it, too. Just a dumb teenager act. His sister smacked the door, he jumped, involuntary muscle movement, down it goes.
Luckily for him it was recovered… organically. Without any medical help.
@emil @FlockOfCats holy kopi luwak mouseball!

@FlockOfCats @falcennial @mangotable We didn't have to - lead pipes led right to the hoses.

️@FlockOfCats@famichiki.jp I do this, but with my trackball. Except instead of a q-tip and bowl of soapy water, it's me blowing into it, rubbing the ball with my shirt, and digging all the crap out of the trackball until it works. Rinse, repeat.

️@FlockOfCats What I hated about cleaning mouse balls is that it never seemed to help. It was still sticky and/or skippy afterwards.

️@FlockOfCats A decade ago I bought a super fancy gamer mouse, with the high speed sensor and the blinking glowy LEDs and the extra buttons, but I still have had to open it occasionally to clean out the dust from the optical sensor on the scroll wheel, and to spray contact cleaner in the switches.
Mouse maintenance doesn't end after castration.

️@FlockOfCats When my mouse ball got dirty I would just get a fresh one by boiling an egg and extract the yolk ball.
