Speaking of keyboards, I won't part with my Unicomp buckling spring keyboard. They are the famous, original IBM keyboards that are heavy duty, have a great tactile feel with a nice audible click, and the keycaps are double-injected. So the letters can never wear off them. They should last a lif

I use my Wacom tablet for drawing, but it also came with a mouse that let's you use the tablet as a trackpad. Perhaps they still have models like that. It was much better than a mouse, but not as nice as a trackball, in my opinion. Mike On 11/11/2014 12:43 PM, Fred Wersan wrote: I've been usi

I've been using Kensington Expert Mouse trackballs for years. The current model is optical. Very smooth, rarely needs cleaning. Comes with an optional wrist support, which I use, my one complaint about the product is that that tends to come loose. I have not found smaller trackballs as easy to use.
