Useful trackball

Hi all,

Just thought I'd share this with you. I recently got one of these
trackballs:

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
