Title: Microsoft Trackball Optical and Logitech Trackman Wheel Optical
Post by: smknjoe on Sat, 13 July 2013, 22:27:10

Wow, I need to dig through my stuff and start selling these! I've thrown a few out over the years just to clean the place up.
They could both be found for about $40 until 2009 or so.

I still use both of these daily and love them.

You can find them on Ebay for cheap. Something between 30-60€ and NIB for just a bit more like this one:  NIB Microsoft Optical Trackball (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Sealed-Original-MICROSOFT-TRACKBALL-OPTICAL-Mouse-Unopened-Box-USB-PS2-Rare-/300930227839?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123)

I like them both but I think I prefer the Trackman wheel because of the size, I also have them both but my Microsoft is a bit scratchy.

I have yet to try the Microsoft Trackball Explorer and I think I reeally will enjoy it but they're too expensive.
