The Mighty Mouse wasn't so bad. The ball would get dirty and need to be cleaned occasionally, but you could kind of clean it without taking it apart (flip it upside down and rub it on paper), but you could also take the mouse apart to clean it more thoroughly.

The ball in my Mighty Mouse died after 6 months of use. I tried cleaning the ball but it didn't fix it. Opening the mouse broke it because it wasn't really designed to be opened. Terrible experience for a pretty expensive mouse.

I have a 10 year old Logitech mouse that still works perfectly fine.
