I still haven't figured out why they no longer make wired trackballs. The thing never moves, why do I need it to be wireless?

When you say "they", do you mean Logitech or Big Mouse in general?

Because I have wired trackballs from both Logitech and Kensington, and have for many years. You can pry my Kensington Orbit from my cold, dead hand.

I found that wired trackballs with scrollwheels no longer seem to exist. I bought a wired trackball without a scrollwheel and absolutely hate it.

Yeah, that's the one I bought. It's nothing like a scroll wheel.

Oh, oh. You mean the actual little upright wheel thing. Sorry.

Building the mouse Logitech won't make
