Good Points

The best mouse I have ever used! I would pay any amount of money to have another one!


Bad Points

The only bad thing is Microsoft quit making them!


General Comments

I have had 2 of the Microsoft Trackball Optical PS2. I LOVE THEM and would pay just about anything to find another one. The last one that I had just broke yesterday. The optical eye broke. Does anyone know if the optical eye can be replaced? I would buy SEVERAL of these mice if MICROSOFT would bring them back! Please Microsoft listen to the people... WE WANT THIS MOUSE BACK! I have also tried a couple of Logitech mice as a possible replacement... but they don't even come close! If anyone knows of where I can purchase another Microsoft Trackball Optical PS2 mouse... please comment so I can find it.

    I agree. This is (was) a great trackball. I used Kensington's Expert Mouse trackball for several years (owned 3), but got disgusted with the price and drop in quality in latest versions - feels like sand rolling around inside, even new out of box. Bought Microsoft's Trackball Explorer mouse as a cheaper alternative. After some adjustment, found I liked it even BETTER than Kensington's. It didn't cause wrist fatigue/abrasion like Kensington's. Leave it to Microsoft to discontinue one of their best reviewed, highest rated little wonders. Wish they would at least sell the rights to make it to someone else, but that'll never happen.
