Welp, I did go down the rabbit hole because the stiction issue came up again.
I've ordered a black snooker ball to replace the original elecom red trackball.
But it didn't track at all. It had a gorgeous mirror finish.
Had to destroy the finish with 3000 grit sandpaper to make it work

And that reminded me, how I face planted at a friends place right, because she had an incredibly slick spot on the floor after spraying her shoes with some water repellent spray.
I had some of that stuff around, so I sprayed it on a paper towel and wiped the trackball and bearings with it.

Recently my trusty Trackball (Elecom Huge) become kind of sticky feeling. It used to be easy to move it just a tiny bit, even a pixel at a time.
Scoured the internet for suggestions. A cheap and easy thing to do seemed to change the, now 5 year old, ruby bearings to zirconium dioxide. Didn't help.

Finally received the Supernote Manta (A5X2). It will be replacing my trusty old Supernote A5 that I've got 5 years ago. It served me well for thousands of hand written pages.
It is an expensive device, but the write feel is just like on paper. On the manta even more so.
