Why don't they make mice like this anymore? I know the answer is ergonomics, but ergo = ugly.

The ones at the bottom remind me of the old computer gear in the early 1980s and I'd love to have something like these bricks on my desk.

T70X3 Series - 1.5", T10X3 Series - 2.0", T40X3 Series - 3.0".

EDIT:
A round monitor would be nice as well.

I had something like that once for my Atari ST. Maybe I still have it somewhere too. It's a big ugly red and black trackball base with an ivory cream colored roller ball. I don't know if I agree about the Ergo = Ugly. It was built to last, but this trackball I'm talking about wouldn't be my idea of handsome, but hey–beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Those look like they would be nice for a MAME cabinet.
