Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

The mouse I defurred is in fact an M570 trackball, and yeah I usually have the ball out of them quite frequently to clean the three little points. My old Microsoft branded trackball had a much larger hole to push out the ball, this one is barely big enough for a finger, and the one on the MX Ergo is so small you can't even use most pens.
Yeah, I used to have an MX Ergo. That was even worse.
I've been thinking about switching to a Kensington Slimblade Pro. But that would mean giving up on the two extra buttons. And that one mouses completely differently.
I honestly didn't find it to be that much better of a mouse, the angle of the ball meant I couldn't move it as far in the vertical axis, and the rubberized coating on mine perished so it's got petroleprosy now.
Eww that's disappointing. In that case, I'll stick with my Logitech for now.
