Pisses me off nobody makes one like it anymore. Perfect for games, very comfortable, great for those with Carpal Tunnel, it was the nuts. Sucks that they stopped making it.

I used to love the old Trackman marble too. The new trackman marble that you use your thumb with is my new trackball and I've been pretty happy with it--I only use it for poker, though.

Is the trackball really superior? I have only really played around with one at the store.

kensington still makes a number of trackballs. i hate them in general but the huge ball kensington is one with which i could live.

The MS Optical Trackball Explorer has treated my CT pretty well.

Yes, they really are. I too was skeptical at first, but once you go track, you never go back.
