I use a trackball mouse.

It annoys the hell out of everyone else at work when they want to do something at my computer, but I love it. It can be used on a small desk, a crowded desk, no desk at all.. Trackballs FTW!

The only thing is, frction can be a slight problem. When it's clean, the ball tends to be smooth but drag noticeably. When it gets a little dirty, it's more free but prone to sticking slightly.

I took a look for solutions to this, and found one that sounded very strange but worked disturbingly well.

Here it is: Rub your nose with your thumb.

:o)

The human nose tends to be one of the more oily parts of skin. Putting a tiny amount of this very thin oil onto your thumb and then using your trackball mouse gives it just enough lubrication to move amazingly smoothly.

Smoothly.. yet still somewhat disturbingly.
