Why must you tempt me with that image.  You can't buy the Trackman Marble FX any more.  Not for atleast 8 years.  It fetches a handsome price on eBay as well.  This was the apex of trackball input devices.  What I wouldn't give to have one of these today. The Trackman Marble I use now is very nice but its not as perfectly sculpted as the FX.  Maybe 3d printing can bring this masterpiece back to us.

In other "i am super persnickety about my input peripherals" news: the new elongated nubbules on the bottom of the Dual Shock 4 controller dig into my palms and cause crazy amounts of fatigue-- something I never experienced with the same button layout but with a Dual Shock 3 controller with much smaller protuberances.
