  I think you are referring to ball mice. Trackball are still in use and development, and are the preferred weapon for knowledgeable gurus, like me.

  I used to admin a small campus, where we had 3 computer rooms. Kids (college) stole the balls.

  I ended up buying a couple hundred of (then) expensive “laser” mice, because it ws cheaper than throwing away half the neutered mice each semester.

      What a coincidence, ‘big ball bucket’ was my nickname in highschool!

    Those little mouse balls were so satisfying to hold and play around with. Pretty weighty for how small they were, with an interesting texture on it; and so perfectly round!

    I never stole one, though. I always put them back, 'cause I’m not a jerkface.
