I've got an Ultimarc trackball and for lack of a better way to describe it, it has some "play" or "wobble". A video (with sound) says a thousand words so made this little recording to demonstrate the issue. I have tried cleaning it and adjusting it in the past with no luck. I'm guessing the experts here might have some sage advice for me?

The video is one thing... but since we cant see inside... its hard to spot any mechanical problem
Post a video showing the internals, and you rolling the rollers (with pressure), in various directions.
Not knowing how their TB is constructed.. Im thinking its possibly a bearing that is popping out of place, when pressure
is applied to the rollers.
This could be due to a partially broken or cracked post
