I might have to try out one of those CSTs; they look pretty sweet.  I have my eyes set on one of those new Mad Catz mice, though.
 
 
Wait.  Is today Saturday?

Is this the lasertrack? The exposure is so hot I can't tell if it's got the scroller cylinder or not.

CST website is here.

I bought my first one at Fentek.


Yea I keep thinking I need to pick one up myself. I would really like a higher dpi track ball and this one seems to fit the bill the best.

complained to the seller since it had been listed as new and proposed he give me $10 back.  He agreed and we're now both happy.


When you complain to the seller, ALWAYS suggest an outcome that makes you happy. Good communication PLUS don't leave them guessing.  That's my key to success on eBay.
