Well, my A2000 mouse wants to lay down and die. I've been having trouble with the left mouse button for a while, applying more pressure all the time. Pressing at certain angles results in intermittent or no response. I even replaced the switch with one from another mouse, an A1000's that hadn't seen much use. But after a few days, the lighter touch response began to drop off and now the intermittent response has returned, so now I'm finally ready to replace it, and that is my question. A new mouse, or a trackball? I'm more inclined to use the mouse, but should I just get another C= brand, or try one of these other types available? Or should I look at an IBM brand and do my own conversion? What are you using? Why? I don't want to try something and then end up buying another C= mouse because the other mouse was not effective. Please give me your thoughts on new mice or trackballs available and what your using. Thanks, Chris
