    I miss the weighty rubberized balls IN the balled mice! Talk about a free fidget toy!

    However, do trackballs count as balled mice? Because I got one for my laptop recently and I LOVE it. Wish there was more of a market for nice trackballs, with an assortment of ball materials for different inertias and whatnot. Lol

      No, trackballs are a separate thing. And their design is usually better at keeping debris out of the ball meaning less maintenance even though it’s exposed literally all of the time.

        Less debris on the ball, but in my experience there’s more dust on the rollers. So it’s the same maintenance anyways.
