Hi. I'm looking for an optical, 3+ button trackball. It also need to be
ambidextrous or left-handed (as I use it with my left hand), and have a
wheel. (No, nothing from Logitech, or A4tech, or Kensington works.) So
far, I haven't seen any trackball that matches. The closest match is the
Microsoft *spit* Trackball Explorer. Here are some pictures:

There are two buttons on the left, separated by the wheel (which runs fore
and aft), and two more on the right. It is slightly contoured for the
right hand, but I don't think it will be uncomfortable to use with my left
hand.

Has anybody used this with Linux? As a USB device or as a PS/2 device?
Thanks.
