Hi all, Just thought I'd share this with you. I recently got one of these trackballs: http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Expert-Mouse-Optical-Trackball/dp/B0000 9KH63 The cool feature here is the scroll ring around the ball. It works like a scroll wheel, but you turn it like a knob. If your software responds to mouse wheel messages in a sensible way, then you can use this ring as a very tactile knob for controlling things. I have "dial/knob"-like controls in my experimental ecasound front-end and using this scroll ring thingy works really well with that. Just thought some people might be interested. It works really well as a day-to-day mouse too - much easier on the wrists. Cheers, Stuart
