Pros: Easy to clean, ergonomic, smooth, perfect.
Cons: Dead skin and dust collects on ball bearings, ball falls out when dropped.
Aegrotatio found this for me and told me he thought I would like it. Having played games in the 80s like Centipede, Millipede and, of course, Missile Command, I was used to the track ball movement. I didn't like the normal mouse peripherals because I always rolled them off the pad, desk, etc, due to movement with graphic and photo programs.
