I use a trackball myself, ITAC (who I think has gone to pot) and Kensington. I like the big trackballs as opposed to those dinky Logitech ones.
I strongly reccommend the Kensington Turbo Mouse (ADB) and Expert Mouse (ps2/serial) trackballs. They are positively the most comfortable pointing device I've used. 4 programmable buttons (and it allows you to define functions for when you click both the top or bottom buttons simultaneously, called chording) for 6 functions. I have click, dbl-click, contextual menu, close window, close app, and scroll (same as clicking the scroll wheel in windoze)
I have used smaller trackballs before but they don't compare to the accuracy and comfort with this 2.25" diameter trackball.
The linux drivers are being worked on now (Kensington gave 2 people, one of whom I know, one free Expert Mouse each in encouragement of a Linux driver.
Best of all, the size of the trackball is exactly that of pool balls. So mine is an 8-ball:)
Disclaimer: I don't work for Kensington, just a satisfied customer.
