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.

I have a Trackball mouse. Remember when mice still had balls instead of optical sensors? Cleaning those made mousing so much better. The same is still true for Trackball users.
Night and day difference when you remove the gunk from the inside of a Trackball.
Sadly, I managed to make a tiny scratch in the ball of my M570, and it often catches on the support inside the mouse. Very annoying. Why did Logitech make removing the ball so frustratingly difficult?
I'm afraid to ask, but my curiosity overwhelms my fear. Why do you have a trackball mouse? It's 2025, there are far better options.
I also switched to a trackball for ergonomic reasons. Not carpal tunnel, something with my thumb. I think ulnar and radial deviation (left and right movement from the wrist) aggravated it. Trackballs helped, as did physio.
