So far, 8 months into ownership, I have not needed to clean the

I've used these for years simply because I like them better,
but after a long time (a few years at least) I see little
crumbs of the hard rubber-like material the wheel is made of
accumulating in the ball socket. I have to take the ball out and
bang the mouse on the table to get the pile of rubber crumbs
out till the next time.
The Kensington trackball does not have a rubber ball--it seems to be
some kind of hard plastic, and as I mentioned, these that I have have
been in use for years. But I suppose skin particles get on the ball
after a while, so you do have to clean them once in a while. The ball
just comes right out, so don't lose it!
To answer a different question raised in this thread--I don't have any
way to zoom with the trackball, but scrolling is easy enough. There is
a sort of zoom app called KMag, for KDE systems, but I don't find it
very helpful.

I already bought a replacement to use if this one stops working
completely. I can't complain about how long it took for something
to start falling apart though, it has lasted a long time.
