I've tried various mice and track balls until I've got Mouse-Trak Pro from ITAC http://www.itacsystems.com/index.html I'm using it for more than five years and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Alex On Tuesday 01 February 2005 09:42 pm, Dylan wrote:

I have one and I'm quite satisfied with it. I haven't observed any tracking problems, although perhaps I'm not demanding enough. As to cleaning: you stick a pencil eraser through the hole behind the ball and the ball pops out. The undersurface has relatively few nooks and crannies to trap lint, though I have yet to see a mouse of any species that doesn't trap some lint.
I find the biggest problem is accumulated black gunk on the little bumps which the ball runs on. This mix of sweat, sebum, dust and god knows what else can make the ball stick in place.
I've tried out a gyroscopic mouse, and as soon as I can justify it I'm getting one.
