Hello i was cleaning bearrings on my kensington slimblade and i didnt noticed that ball i placed on table is slowly moving to tbe side and then fell on the ground. I know i was stupid but now it has a small dent and sometimes i run with that dent through bearring and it is kind of annoying is there a way how to fix it or do i need to order new one? If i had to order new one do you know about good shop for trackballs preferebly in europe
The same has happened to me few times and sadly I’ve never been able to find a good replacement.
I saw an eBay listing for a pool/billiard ball claiming to be compatible, but that’s not apealling to me, and the price was something ridiculous like 40-50€, so I learned to live with the pain of just rotating the ball upside-down when I hit the dent.
I guess it would be possible to do a tiny patch on the dent with epoxy, but I don’t want to take the risk of making things even worse.
Billiard ball only works on 1st gen products. I got an 8-ball. Here’s an example: http://xahlee.info/kbd/i/Kensington_Expert_Mouse_S9FTj.jpg
