Kensington's Expert Mouse Optical USB Trackball: Anyone ever WoW Dual Box with it on a Mac (or PC)?

Was going to start Mac WoW Dual Boxing soon and looking for a new mouse replacement for my Apple Bluetooth Wireless Mouse (Apple's wireless tracking is just not as good as Windows, so I am going back to wired). I also am an Audio Editor so I am looking for something to replace my mouse experience entirely. And I was considering trying out:

Kensington's Expert Mouse Optical USB Trackball for PC or Mac 64325

Any one have Mac or PC WoW Dual-boxing experience using it or a similar Trackball?

Bump, cuz perhaps everyone is still asleep or no one like trackballs?! Balls suck?!! Just checking to see if anyone actually has tried a trackball with WoW.

Personally, I love trackballs for FPS games, but for WoW, the trackball seems a bit twitchy to me. I suppose if I HAD to use one due to limited deskspace/other functions than WoW, it would do nicely. Also, if you've been using trackballs for a while, they may not be as twitchy for other folks.

I think I am just going to go to Fry's and get a trackball and see how it feels. If I don't like it I will refund it. Thanks for your input. My Wireless setup now kinda was "spastic" so wanted to do something more stable when I dual Box.

i was planning on getting something like that.. then i saw the price and though... naw. i bought a $40 mouse instead. works wonderfully.

The problem with Kensington's Expert Mouse Optical USB Trackball is after using it for a few hours yer hand feels like its gonna fall off :P

the track ball I really dig is http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mi...s/166&cl=US,EN

do you have any problems with precision from a thumb type trackball vs. something that uses your fingers? i find thumb-based trackballs limit movement. but i can be wrong.

naa works great for me, just crank up the pointer speed that way yeh dont have to move yer thumb all that much.
Basically yeh dont want to be spinning that mouse the way I have it setup if I'm in wow from center of the mouse ball to once I move my thumb to one side I've done a 180.

I'v got the best trackball ever made, to bad they don't make them anymore:

Have you ever seen a mouse go UP in price?

I've been using kensington trackballs for over ten years. Works great in wow (or anything else) in my opinion.
