I like the idea of the ball, but they don't last. When we buy new computers around here that come with a Mighty Mouse, they last maybe a year and then the user decides to go back to their old mouse or we have to order a new, non-MM, one. I prefer Logitech.<br><br>I like two-finger scrolling.

It was pretty cool, but once you realize its worth cow udders in gaming (You can't simultaneously right+left click), you would start to wish for a more utilitarian mouse. That, and the trackball always got dirty and screwed up. I replaced mine 4 times before I gave up and just started to use a normal mouse.<br><br>And Holy manhole batman, Paul Chapel isn't trollin?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Haikibutsu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 12:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[Two finger scrolling is really good. I would love to see it implemented in all notebooks. This is a stretch, but even incorporate the two-finger right-click aswell.<br><br>A lot of my friends are the closed minded Windows Fanboys, so they think anything from apple is A) Junk B) Weak C) Gimmicky. It annoys me, because I bet that if they had two-finger scrolling or two-finger-right-rightclick on their windows machines, they would love it. I'm glad I don't have allegiance to companies that just want your money and nothing else; Apple AND Microsoft. I have Leopard & Windows 7 on my MacBook, Ubuntu 9 & Windows 7 on my gaming rig, and I am trying to get OS X on it too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Haikibutsu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 12:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not a bad idea, but i probably won't mess with my EEE 901 since it already came with two-finger scroll mode.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gsanluis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 12:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[Cool.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[No Phone For You]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 12:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[7.7 I honestly think (most of the time) you are a troll, and I am not an apple hater at all...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Haikibutsu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 12:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[wow very cool!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lazy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 12:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[I hate the scroll ball on the MM. I like smoother, gliding movements for scrolling. The scroll ball is way too small and imprecise, and requires you to pass your finger over it what seems like a hundred times just to scroll down a blog entry, or else start your scrolling movement halfway up your forearm. I guess you could increase the sensitivity, but as imprecise as it is that would seem to be a recipe for frustration. If they're dead-set on eliminating useful tactile feedback, and using a point instead of a wheel, they should have accomplished the scrolling with a second, up-facing IR sensor instead of that stupid little ball.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chispito]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 12:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[boop]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[frank]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 1:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[now if he could just come up with a good keyboard for it...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gcc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 1:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'd like to think that since the modder can take this thing apart that the ball can be clean easily so won't die at all]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MattyG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 1:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[".......ball can be clean easily so won't die at all."<br><br>er,.....That's what she said...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Uchiha Sasuke]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 2:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[beavis? is that you?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cameron]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 8th 2009 4:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does it scroll left to right?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[seon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2009 5:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Shadowy modder gives Eee PC a risky back alley trackball implant]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/02/shadowy-modder-gives-eee-pc-a-risky-back-alley-trackball-implant/</guid><description><![CDATA[The Eee is a two finger scroll not a 3 finger scroll... 3 fingers would be annoying, two fingers is the same as the MacBooks, I don't see anyone complaining about that, actually I'm sure some people are complaining about that.
