I'm getting me a wireless &\or USB trackball device for the laptop. Anyone got preferences or suggestions?

It is fun with Centipede.

I'm considering this sucker.

Trying to play Thief w\ the fucking touch pad on the laptop is nigh-impossible.

I cannot imagine gaming with that thing.

After a week or so w\ the trackball, I got more precision & speed than w\ any mouse of any type. It's a bit awkward at first, though. I like trackballs better than mice cos I ain't exactly got the table space to be rollin' a damn mouse ten feet in every direction.

I did in fact notice a decrease in precision when I went from a ball mouse to a laser mouse.

But I got sick of cleaning gunk out of the ball mouse rollers.

Yeah its a rough transition but once you do it, it's like second nature. I actually have my wireless mx700 logitech that I use for most things but have a trackball plugged in too in case I am doing some sniping in bf2 or something like that.
