I used lots of Mighty Mice and know quite a few people using them, and there's never been a problem with a "gunky" scroll ball. The only problem I've had with the scrollball is keep trying to use the non-existant one on a couple of older Apple Mice or my own ADB mouse. :-)

That's because the "current discussion" is about Apple mice. ;-)
