does anyone know how to clean out the m.m. scroll wheel casing place thing? only mine's getting rather dirty, and is having trouble scrolling as reliably.
 
From Apple's official instructions:
Use a clean lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water. Wipe the ball and the surrounding area, making sure to rotate the ball itself to ensure complete coverage. If the scrolling feels rough or if the scroll ball isn't scrolling up, down, or side-to-side, hold the mouse upside-down and roll the ball vigorously while cleaning it to help dislodge any particles that may have collected on the internal hardware.
They even have a short movie demonstrating the process.
