ok so i went to use the scroll ball on my mouse last night, and i noticed i wasn't able to scroll down. it didn't work for a few minutes but it eventually started working again. now that i'm using it today, i can't scroll down at all. i can still scroll left, right, and up. has anyone had a similar issue? is there any way i can clean it out? any help is appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

What it happens to me, I take a damp cloth and rub the scroll wheel with it for a minute or two. A lot of times the grease from your fingertips causes this problem and a simple cleaning is all that is needed.
