Actually, Jimmy Chen, cleaning the mouse will help IF you know which
parts need cleaning.

Remove the mouse ball and examine the socket.  You will notice two
rollers--one for tracking horizontal movement, one for vertical.
The rollers may be either shiny metal or black plastic (I've seen both).

If your mouse is typical, there is probably a thing buildup of gunk on
the rollers.  You'll have to scrape it off.  I usually just use my
fingernail, but depending on how short your nails are, this may not be
practical for you.

After you scrape that crud off, things should work fine.
