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?

Who is "they"? Perixx seems to be still selling wired trackballs.

As far as I can see it, they sell only wired vertical mice. Trackballs are all wireless.

The PERIMICE-520, right there on that page that you pointed to, is a wired trackball. I know because I have one beside me right now with the wire going across the desk. (-:

Now I see...they sell the normal tiltable trackball as vertical.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Perixx arranges things somewhat differently on the U.K./E.U. version of its WWW site.
