    Trackball mice

    I have both of those and can say the TrackBall TrackMan Wheel is the better of the two you listed.

    The marble trackball has no scroll wheel only two buttons to scroll with and only work if you have the logitech software installed and not recommended if you play any games.
    The trackman is a little to small for my hand, so if you have big hands it may be uncomfortable.

    I have yet to find any thing that out does my microsoft trackball optical (discontinued).

    Need some opinions on a replacement Trackball Mice

    Hi Everyone, I have used the Microsoft Trackball Explorer since it first hit the market, I've loved it because of it's large trackball and my big fat fingers work so well together, Microsoft discontinued the product and even though it can still be found on Amazon, I will not be paying over 600 for one ever.

    The 2 that I own have been rebuilt, and rebuilt, and they have pretty much reached the end of the road, so I am looking for a new trackball mouse with a large trackball, I have other regular mice but I prefer the trackball as I like it stationary.

    So I would like some suggestions from fellow trackball users of a good quality trackball with a large trackball, that you are personally using for gaming, please list the pros and cons or likes and dislikes of what you recommend?

    Thank You! GM

    Need some opinions on a replacement Trackball Mice

    I've been using a Microsoft Trackball Optical (v1.0) for well over a decade, have gone through two and now they are getting harder to find in a good condition. You might try some of the Logitech trackballs, as have been suggested above, but most of the industry (especially the gaming industry) has completely ignored users who prefer trackballs, most likely due to it being such a small market.

    What Happened to the Microsoft Trackball Opticals? - Trackballer

    Where Have All the Trackballs Gone? - ExtremeTech

    Good luck on your quest, but I'm afraid someday we'll all have to migrate to a mouse.
