Trackball sighting

So it seems Pat Metheny has one of the usual suspects in terms of trackballs in the studio - but which one is it? CST? Kensington?

(Check out his Orchestrion project, too, it's pretty cool.)

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

I don't know about the trackball, but it looks like he's got a pair of AT cans.

I wonder how he gets his headphones over the helmet on his head.

I've got that variety of Kensington Expert Mouse. Now that's an old pointing device that tracks slow. Useful in GMod though.

How so? If you're talking about Garrysmod, I've gone through it w/ the usual multibutton suspects.

However, that does make me intrigued enough to want to get a trackball(see other post in same section).

Garry's Mod indeed.

It's useful for precision positioning of props. Would never use INSTEAD of a mouse, just in addition to one.
