I got this with an old ps2 portable computer (that's dead with a bad keyboard), you can use it as a mouse or return it to have a trackball

I'm using one of those with my laptop right now. They're great mice. If you want more of them, they're $6 on ebay. Just search for TrackPoint L40.

The coolest thing right after the butterfly keyboard on the Thinkpad 701.

I'm using one of these right now too. I got it new in unopened box for dirt cheap on eBay a few months ago. It looks much better new than in the pictures above.

I only use the trackball side of it - mainly because I like trackballs better than mice - but also because the mouse operation feels a bit clunky.

YOU HAVE A LAPTOP?

Uh oh... well it's old enough to have PS/2 ports I presume, unless you're using a blue cube (yeah right!).

I think I posted a thread about those mice... I still find them weird. And yeah, there were a whole bunch NIB ones going for relatively cheap. But... I'll stick with my scrollpoint pro lol.

I have a bunch of laptops. None of them are new, but they all run pretty good.
