Exclamation Trackball mouse

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which trackball mouse is the best for use with the profile. Will the USB 1.1 criteria limit me in choice or will USB 2 devices just run at USB 1.1 speeds?



Cheers guys

This is what I use for our SC48. http://bit.ly/cKg1fm A Logitech® Marble® Mouse. I've been using it six months without any issues, didn't expect any. I would think that most newer input devices should work fine on usb 1.

My all-time trackball favorite remains the kensington expert mouse - trackball.
Until proven different ...

Kingston Expert is the way to go. My preferance for both VENUE and ProTools. Not sure if buttons are assignable.

Its a good trackball, sturdy, but its size and position of lower buttons can make it awkward for some peoples hand shapes. I had to get rid of mine it just didn't work for me and its not cheap. Try before buying if possible.
