My Kensington TurboMouse ADB has been giving me problems recently,
so I bought a USB trackball to replace it. Well, MacAlly's iballpro
is trash compared to the old Kensington model. It doesn't roll as
easily, and it seems to "slip" (not always lead to a motion in the
cursor/pointer). It's badly designed, I've decided.

Now, I've heard terrible things about the Orbit(z?) trackball from
Kensington.

Does someone have a good recommendation for a USB trackball, one
that will work with a PCI Mac w/USB card installed?


I hesitate to go back to an ADB trackball. I'm not sure if there
isn't some weird problem with software for ADB trackballs that keeps
conflicting with my trackball experience.... I get some very strange
input errors using my TurboMouse. These errors followed me from a
7100 to my current hybrid. They didn't show up immediately when I
upgraded, but they did eventually show up. I tried numerous keyboards,
in case it was a hardware problem on that end. I may still be that
my particular TurboMouse is the cause; I don't. These problems have
vanished since switching to my current and otherwise inferior USB
trackball.
