Is posible open Micro Color Panel to clean?

I would like to know if there is a way to clean the trackballs of the Micro Color Panel in the same way as its larger siblings. Is there any video that shows how to do it for cleaning purposes?

The rings on the Micro Color panel are held on with strong magnets so you can put your fingernails from two hands under the ring and pull up, carefully.

The trackball is now loose to remove and then you can air brush and vacuum clean.

Clean the trackball with a soft dry cloth.

I have finally succeeded. I didn't dare because I had tried with some force without success. Knowing that it is like the Micro Panel with magnets, I dared to pull harder and it came out. Magnets are really powerful. It is very well designed. I was afraid that being the youngest in the saga he would be embedded in the plastic, but no. Very well designed and very comfortable overall. The only thing missing is for the keys to be programmable because there are things that I don't use and others that are not programmed I do use.
Thanks a lot Peter.
