I have used a few generations of Kensington's Expert mouse (trackball) and
am very happy with all of them. The question I would ask regarding mouse vs.
trackball is how much maintenance is going to be required in a public area?
My experience with these products has only been at standalone private work-
stations. Would a trackball in a public area require regular cleaning
procedures to remove dirt and grease? Perhaps regular cleaning should be done
on the mouse as well?
