The other neat thing about this micro-ball is that I have
it mounted on a bracket from one of the screws holding the
keyboard case together. I work the ball and switches with
my fingers, and my thumb is resting right next to the
'Enter' key at the keypad. I actually need to move back and
forth to the keyboard less than before when negotiating
menus and dialogs. Having the Enter key so 'handy'
compensates to a great extent for the X-Y preference.

For those interested in a GS compatible trackball;
Precision Instruments makes one; it's labeled as a
Macintosh ADB but it works just fine with my GS. Got mine
for just under $40 at the local Computer City, and yes,
even the lock light works. . .

Touche Technologies, Inc Touchpad (ADB version) [Don V.
Zahniser]
Although this touchpad appears to work pretty well some of
the time, it has one glaring flaw: It will not 'release'
the button action in some instances. The effect is that
the user moves the cursor to the proper position, but when
attempting to 'double-click', the cursor will move (drop)
even when the finger is no longer touching the pad. My
suspicion is that the Touche touchpad is marginally too
sensitive for the GS. The Macintosh software supplied with
the touchpad supposedly allows for adjustment, but this
option is not available on the GS. I have tried it on two
ROM 01 systems with the same results.
