Price

It was worth every penny and i would buy it again in a heartbeat!

Managed to grab a used one in great condition for about $100.

No way am i going to pay $650 for a $50 trackball.

I paid around $100 each for these years ago.

Shipping

I sent it off to be refurbished/cable replaced (a service available on ebay).

Searched ebay and found one brand new, in a scuffed up box but still factory sealed!

Competitiveness

A much better trackball than those offered currently by other companies.

As a disabled man, i find this trackball better than all the others i've tried over the years.

I'm stuck now with logitech for trackballs for my other computers and they just aren't quite the same.

I recently purchased an elecom mouse which is similar to this, but it still isn't as glorious.
