In one of the other threads I realized (after a few humorous / surprised comments) that I apparently was the only person using Tracktion without a mousewheel. (And probably the only one that knew that you can do zooming in/out with the arrow keys ).

The ball does nothing special. It's like a trackball, I don't move the mouse but just move that ball instead. More relaxed for my arms and shoulders that way

I almost bought that one yesterday after some serious consideration... but I folded under the pressure of familiarity, and got the Logitech Mx500. I remapped all the buttons so now it's a T2 weapon.

I use another (older) Logitech trackball ("marble mouse"...) and love it to bits. No more achey knuckles.
The ball is great with vsts, so easy to click a knob then spin the ball, much easier than a mouse imo.
Do miss a scroll wheel though.

I used to have a Marble Mouse too, until this afternoon... And I have one at work too... but now I have both .
A Tracktion user without a scroll wheel is like a bride without a white dress ... or something like that...

delivered today (£8.50 new off ebay - couldnt hurt to try it at that price) ...
... the trackball is a tad small (with a small 'throw') but the ergonomics and programmable buttons make it pretty usable so far ...

Neato! I couldn't find an ergonomic solution for my mousing needs (nobody in Ottawa seems to be stocking trackballs with a scrollwheel) but I grabbed a natural keyboard. They're not for everybody, but it fits like a glove for me. I'm much happier with it already than I was with my standard keyboard.
Programmable buttons will make it Tracktion-friendly, too, when I get around to it.
A wireless version of Rob's little hand-held thingy there would be the ultimate, as long as the wireless was reliable.

you cant even get hold of micro$oft gear in canuckland ?!?
... used to use one of these ..
... but the surface of my little sofa-front laptop trolley is too low to make using it comfortable (the lappie itself sits on a raised stand) so the handheld option is cool ... might be useful for my interactive whiteboard at school too (though i think trust also do a wireless version with a laser pointer built in for that kind of work) ...

Can't get a hold of them, nope. Sure, people stock Microsoft gear (the keyboard is a Microsoft), but trackballs must not be heavy movers, because I haven't found a place that stocks them. Future Shop, Best Buy, and other large places don't seem to, and a few of the smaller retailers I've talked to don't stock them, either.

Does anybody know if they make a mouse that is mouth controlled? Like I could put a little controller in my mouth and have both hands free to play keys or type stuff? If not, then I'm gonna invent one so dont try to steal my idea.
