I hate to change the subject slightly buttttt… How long does it take to thoroughly break in a 10 ball bearing. I just got a m1 (its amazing) but it has been a week and I play non-stop and it still is responsive. Is there anyway to speed this up. I do not want to clean it. Thanks ---

Thanks It can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks. Just keep playing. You will be extremely satisfied with the results. Also, responsiveness isnt so bad :wink: ---
