If you still have a "ball" mouse and are tired of cleaning it, just throw out your mouse pad and use a large, old, cloth-bound book. It will stay where you put it, and the old linen cover won't produce lint. I stumbled across this idea out of frustration, and my mouse has worked flawlessly ever since. Clean your mouse ball and rollers first, of course. Use isopropyl alcohol and a Q-tip or toothpick to get the junk off the interior rollers. Never underestimate low high-tech!
