Does anyone here use a trackball?
I've been using a Logitech Marble Mouse (http://www.euroffice.co.uk/itm_show.asp?G7544=Logitech-Marble-Mouse&AFF =GG00006373 for example, but if you shop around you can get them cheaper) for a while now and I'm quite pleased with it. (I'm left handed so all these so called ergonomic shapes are a complete waste of time for me :o) )
That looks quite good to me, I once tried a Microsoft trackball but the stupid thing was designed to be driven with your thumb! which I find is pretty much impossible as moving your thumb for the up/down axis without moving your hand is very difficult compared to using your finger tips. The only thing I do wonder about is how good a trackball is for playing first person shooter games :)
