I recall someone mentioning this exact issue. They called Happs' tech support, and it was recommended to give the bearings a little blast of WD40. Worked like a schnitz, if I recall.
: It is a very "stiff" control. It's not loose like a Tempest spinner.
: Has anyone had any luck loosening one of these suckers up? I have the feeling its not possible. It appears that the gear ratios are what give it a "resitant" feeling, not a tight spinner/shaft assembly that needs lubrication.
: The trackball is awesome, though!
