Hello,

I heard there is attempt to collect a database of mouse speeds (DPI)
so all mice behave the same.

What is the semantic of speed for trackballs? Technically the DPI of
scanning the ball movement can be determined and is often part of the
specification but the perceived speed will likely depend on ball size
and mounting as well.

Thanks

Michal
