So far, 8 months into ownership, I have not needed to clean the trackball, but it is easy to take out.
I've used these for years simply because I like them better, but after a long time (a few years at least) I see little crumbs of the hard rubber-like material the wheel is made of accumulating in the ball socket. I have to take the ball out and bang the mouse on the table to get the pile of rubber crumbs out till the next time.
I've been using the Kingston Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball for more than 2 years now. The only thing I have to clean out is the cat fur that accumulates in the "ball well". I clean it out as a matter of course and not because it has caused me any performance issues.
I can't see how any rubber could wear from the scroll ring.
