Someone once estimated how many miles his mouse had travelled in one year of use,it worked out at a staggering few hundred miles of use ! imagine taking your mouse for a walk that distance and see how she would stand up ? my original mouse wore the brass roller out with a deep groove where the ball bearing rode,the ball bearing is now firmly planted into the nose of one of my models to keep her nose down,how tedious cleaning the goop off those ball bearings becomes,these little devices work so hard without us realising it.
