I know these were the mice for the Personal Systems 2 and were used along side the grand Model M.
Do they feel good or are they uncomfortable?
How should I pay for a good one?

Just buy one from Unicomp, they're old stock and only cost $2...

I have one and they are not that comfortable vs. new mice. I personally the Kensington Orbit Optical trackball but after joining this forum and seeing the billiards balls in a trackball (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3KA7bKKguw) I may have to get on that!

But aside from that the pros are short: they look nice and have an insanely long cord.
