Absolutely use isopropyl alcohol!
Tried with isopropyl alcohol, and it feels worse :( Like rolling a wooden ball on more wood.
Kensington says to use Vaseline to lube the ball. I can only imagine that would gum things up, no?
When reading your post, I started thinking of silicone lubricants. Have you tried anything like that? Ideally, you would only lubricate the parts that come into contact with the ball.
That might be an idea! I'll see if that's safe to do. 👍
