I use Logitech Marble Mouse and think it is great.
Though, it has some physical subleties: it's hard to move cursor a few
pixels - the initial force to move the ball from static position is
greater than force needed to continue motion. Physics in its glory.
Don't know how it is in more expensive trackballs. It is forgivable
for a $20 trackball.
