I'd recommend the Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman <http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/trackballs/devices/4751 &cl=gb,en>
Thanks Philipp. It looks good except for one thing - I'm left-handed and it's a handed device. I don't see any mention of a left-handed version.
I'm not a lefty :-) but I used to have this trackball... http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/trackballs/devices/4786&cl= gb,en Worked fine with Linux in general, and was conveniently ambidextrous. I've since switch back to a regular mouse for reasons I can't remember anymore.

I have a similar trackball, by Kensington, model 64327, wired, and I love it--actually have two, one for Linux and one for the MS machine. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a third button, but I can live with that. I think they still make this. It's optically coupled, and seems to work forever without having to wash the ball or anything. I suppose Linux can switch the left and right buttons, I'm right-handed, so I wouldn't know. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
