i love the track ball. if it had a scroll wheel it would be perfect. they make one, but it had a tiny little ball for your thumb. i like the control i get from my first two fingers. and it sits stilllllll.....no filthy mouse pad, and i can send the cursor across the screen with a twitch. it's faster....even if i have to use the scroll bars on the edges. the motion translates well to a laptop touchpad, too.
