Ball mice never die! (they just lose their balls, seriously)
Cottonwool bud and a screwdriver is all you need ;-p
I only use PS/2 mice (preferably Optical) *and* keyboards with Debian.
Saves power for the USB devices, makes use of the existing PS/2 ports,
co-operates with BIOS, PXE boot, and KVMs.
It's often difficult to purchase PS/2 input devices as they retail for
the same price as the USB devices, but wholesale at more. I generally
find retailers who stock PS/2 mice and keyboards also stock other
quality components and have better prices too.
Genius make a nice PS/2 Optical Wheel Mouse (XScroll), and Logitech make
a nice PS/2 keyboard (K100). There are other models and brands - but
those are cheap, reliable, and relatively easy to source.

There must be some mistake.

We don't make mistakes.
