Hi,
I have been very happily using my Microsoft Trackball Explorer 1.0 mouse for years. (Thanks Neil - I thing it was you that suggested it a long time ago.) Sadly, it seems like time for a replacement. The ball grabs, and despite cleaning and spraying with a little lubricant, it doesn’t seem possible to fix. It is becoming tiresome. This mouse is not made any longer, and the only replacements that I could find were in Ebay. Used, they seem to go for about $150, and new for a little over $200!!! This just isn’t right.
The only trackball that seems to provide both the scroll wheel and the four buttons that I am used to is the Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman. New, the sells for about $60. Is anyone using this mouse for Dcad? Does anyone have any suggestions for alternates? I prefer not to get a cordless mouse - it seems pointless for a trackball.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
