Cleaning a Roller Controller?

[DadsGlasses]

I just got a great deal on a Roller Controller. Item appears to work very well. I do have a question about cleaning the trackball.

 

The trackball seems to move to the Left a little better than it moves to the right. I've run into things like this before with other trackball devices.

 

Any suggestions on how to disassemble & clean?

 

Any other advice for maintaining a Roller Controller?

 

 

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

I will answer my own question here just in case anyone searches for this in the future.

 

Very easy to disassemble the Roller Controller. I used compressed air to blow out the dist from the board and all of the bearings. I used a damp q tip with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to clean the switch contacts.

 

Reassembled and smooth as could be.

 

Thanks!

Sweet! Thanks for the info. I'm in a similar boat but don't think I'll have your success
