Nothing like washing mouse balls, is there??! LOL Yes, I suggest the laser ones, too. Have had this one for 4 yrs and haven't had ANY problems.
In the meantime...take the ball out and look at the little rollers -- they should be shiney. If you see a line of black on the rollers, take a q-tip with alcohol and wash them off. Good luck!

I agree with the rest, you may just need more cleaning.
Incidentally, you can purchase just the ball, but you would probably have to do it online or at a specialty electronics store.
It's probably cheaper just to get a new mouse. :)
