My trackball has worked on any surface for years.

Shame MS stopped making trackballs
Does anybody make them any more?
The one I have is perfect, but I've had to replace one of the micro-switches, and now another has broken so I need to fix it again.

Logitech and Kensington make them

looks a bit on the fat side to me. Optical works good enough I don't see many people forking out more for this.
Question is, will they work on a glass?
I know a few people who have their PC sat on glass work-tops and have to use a mouse-mat, even with the latest laser mice.

Any ideas on whether Microsoft are going to be licensing this technology or if anyone else is developing something similar? I like the idea but Microsoft mice are always uncomfortable to me...

I'm not fat and I'm not 40
Shame MS haven't yet catered for left handed users or better yet designed a version to be used in either hand like the old intellimouse.
So instead of buying a £3 mousemat we should buy a £60 mouse? my MX518 works on near enough everything still and even if it didnt i have never been satisfied with Microsoft mice, logitech ones are soo much more comfortable in your hand.
They so are, andd!..... they take much more of a beating. My Microsoft mouse cracked it's buttons on the first go, but that Logitech one.. it's still going strong
Very durable mice makers Logitech are.
Yeah, i got my old logitech replaced as the sensor was a bit funny, found a guide to take it apart ont he net, fixed my old one and now i have twoThey so are, andd!..... they take much more of a beating.

Re: News - Microsoft launches BlueTrack mice, bids farewell to laser
I want a new Trackball Explorer! Bring back trackballs! Please? Someone? (I have the Logitech Optical Trackman which is good enough, but there's been no progress for several years in trackball tech)...
