Trackball 'clicking' / 'brrrr-ing'

OK I finally got round to attempting to fix this problem!  I tried loosening the screws to no avail...so I ordered some new bearings & rollers from Bob Roberts but this hasn't made any noticable difference either  :(

It's not the end of the world but since Happ trackballs are supposed to be the best (& they're pretty expensive) it's damn annoying.  One of my mates even said 'why's it making that noise' when he had a go once which shows how noticable it is.

Anyone else have any suggestions?  I just can't really see anything obviously wrong with the thing.  Maybe the plastic where the bearings sit in is not true??

It must be false. (???)

jcrouse:

The answer is quite obvious. If it clicks when you spin it, just don't spin the darn thing. That will fix your problem.

PS....Leave us know if this works.  ;D

You've been hanging round Orc too long John...

Elfman:

I too am having this problem.  Had it since I got the TB from Happs.

I haven't tried the suggestions above but will probably give it a go tonight with 3 in1 oil in hand and make sure everything is lubed up properly.

Curious to know any other thoughts anyone might have around this.
