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 currently use a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical USB Trackball with my G3 AIO. The ball moves really smooth, and is easy to remove to clean the nodes that hold the ball in place. Available for about $30 USD. For a keyboard I'm using an old SIIG MacTouch ADB keyboard. It's built like a tank and is one of the 'clicky' keyboards.
I think I paid $0.99 for the keyboard at a local thrift store. I just got a Keytonic MacPro ADB keyboard there too recently - not a 'clicky' one, but heavily built.
