How anyone can even consider attempting to fly a type-4 alpha class battle 
frigate through the notoriously hostile kusari asteroid system with a 
trackball, I'll never know, but maybe I've got my priorities wrong.. :-)

This varies a bit on how stiff the button is in comparison to the radius aand 
looseless of the wheel.  The first scrollwheel I had was on a compaq mouse 
and it was small, stiff, and virtually impossible to rotate without 
accidentally hitting the button.  Since then, I've used a microsoft 
intellimouse explorer and a logitech mx300, and both are actually trouble 
free with a nice freewheeling action.  I can't imagine life without a 
scrollwheel now :-)

Actually, I got home drunk last month and trod on my intellimouse in an 
attempt to avoid a flying pink elephant and had to spend a week with a 
standard 3 button mouse before buying the logitech.  I kept reaching for the 
scrollwheel which wasn't there.  I prefer the logitech, except for the 
position of the 4th and 5th buttons.
