Ultimarc 2.25" Trackball

(1/3) > >>

Zeno:
Does anyone know how I can "boost" my Ultimarc 2.25 TB?

This this is very stiff and just doesn't roll like I expected.  Anyone else have this issue, or is it my TB?

NightGod:
Simple answer - use it.

They come stiff like that from the factory, it's from the thick grease they use on the bearings. I used to sit it on my desk/lap and spin it while I was watching movies, after a few hours of playing with it, it loosened right up.

Level42:
Yeah. And some people speed this up by running the bearings with a power drill for a while.....can't remember where I read that though, was it at Bob Robert's site ?

By the way, Ultimarc's 2.25" is a Suzo.

AndyWarne:
If you remove the top and lift out the ball and bearings, you can soak the bearings in WD40 for a while. That does the trick.
