Of course, computer components don't operate in a vacuum, as any PC enthusiast who has ever gazed into their parent's ancient Dell with a look of abject horror on their face can tell you. Run a PC long enough and its insides begin to resemble that of a dust-flavoured candy floss machine. To test the cooler, GE blasted it with fine grain dust from multiple angles. The cooler was still running perfectly four days later. Apparently, the air velocity of the jets keeps the unit clean.
Tell me about it. I once opened up an old PC where the dust was quite literally caked in there to the point where you could dig it out with a spoon.

OT: This sounds like quite an interesting bit of technology. Would like to find out how well it holds up in real world applications.

What I learned from that video was that, they still make laptops with the tit-mice, I thought they stopped being a thing like in the mid 2000's or something.
Still occasionally find clit mice on ultracompacts but mostly on the more business oriented laptops. Most of the Thinkpad lines still have them along with Dell Precisions and some of the HP Elitebooks.

Trackpads might be a bit easier to use but they're less precise pointing devices.
