My main attraction to trackballs is the fact that I don't have to "search" for it. I like just tapping the big ball a bit to move my mouse, without losing focus on my work.
The thing I liked about the old trackballs (size of pool cue ball--I'm sure that's not coincidence) was *inertia*; those suckers had some size and mass.
You could position the mouse ultraprecisely because you could set the multiplier low. However, you could do big fast motions by "throwing" the ball. The muscle memory worked beautifully.
Instead, about the only way I can do that with modern mice is to have low multipliers and a low threshold to initiate high acceleration. Unfortunately, it makes my mouse configuration almost unusable for any other human being ("It's so twitchy" is the general response).
