I just recently got a new Marble mouse, the one with the ball in the
middle and buttons either side, quite cheap and lovely! Much more
ergonomic than a mouse and great for everything. Still got bad RSI
though... The ball being a scroll wheel on clicking 4th button thing
is pretty awesome too, and quite easy to set up with minor xorg
effort.

p.s I am without internet except at the library and going insane!
Just wondering if anybody has any experience
using trackballs. I have
the impression that it would be more ergonomic and might offer better
precision/control for selections, etc. It looks like Kensington($$$) and
logitech are the only companies making them now.
I have two: a Logitech Marble Mouse on my main computer and a Logitech TrackMan
Wheel on my second computer. The latter is good for office work, browsing etc.
because of the scrollwheel, but the ball is a bit harder to use because you
can't really use but your thumb. The Marble Mouse is wonderful: I'll never, ever
want to use an ordinary mouse after the experience with it... It's very good for
almost anything, and the best gaming mouse I've ever tried: I just *can't* play
Q3A, UT etc. without it!
