Hello All,

I am putting together a master list of trackball disassembly/repair/teardown guides for the sidebar

I feel this is useful for anyone who wishes to perform any mods, deep cleaning, swaps, or repairs

Some links will be Reddit/Imgur posts, some will be YouTube videos, and some will be other external websites/forums. I will note what they are as well as the intended purpose of the post.

Please leave a comment with any guides I have missed, new guides, or better guides to replace the ones currently on the list.

I will add that I know most of the clones, like all the MTE clones, have similar disassembly and such, but if someone has made something for those specific models, I will add them to the list.

And if anyone wants to tell me what size switches and/or bearings fit for swaps on specific mice, I can add that for more useful information. ( " **?** " will mean that the info needs more confirmation)

I'll have this pinned for a couple of weeks before removing it and leaving it just in the sidebar.

Hello All!

I u/Draxcer1, along with u/AdvaitaArambha, and u/osmium999 are the proud new mods of r/Trackballs .

Nothing really crazy happens around here, but I think I speak for all three of us when I say that we will do our best to upkeep this subreddit.

2 of us don't have any real Reddit mod experience, so please be patient if anything major happens.

I have already started with some basic changes

  • Added the Wiki to the sidebar instead of a highlight post
    • . Added the Endgame to the Wiki
  • Added some basic rules to the sidebar, which are subject to edits, additions, and changes
  • Added some user flairs to choose from in the sidebar (specific people may find a special flair already given to them, if you are such a person and wish to change your flair title/color, let me know)
    • Edit: Normal User Flairs should be editable now

If anyone has any further ideas for this sub, feel free to leave a comment, and we will see what we can do.

Edit: I also have an idea to make a masterlist of disassembly guides for trackballs to put in the sidebar, if anyone wants to help with that.
