Kensington trackballs use to come with a life time warrantee, but I
have no idea if they would honor it and in my case after 10+ years of
use I would feel a bit silly asking them too.

If a company is going to advertise a lifetime warranty, then I'd not
feel at all silly asking them to honor it. Granted, lifetime warranties
on something like a computer part that gets (relatively) obsolete fairly
quickly are kind of silly compared to, say, a hand tool that'll do just
as well 50 years ago, today, and 50 years from now but it's their own
marketing that would get them into that mess ;)
However, since they're probably not set up to service/replace old ADB
trackballs they'd probably want to offer you an equivalent value
replacement. Which would probably be a USB device. It might depend on
whether there was any specific language in the warranty wording about
what constituted a lifetime. I've seen some interestingly worded ones
that defined it in the small print as "Lifetime of the product
production cycle".
