As an engineer, I hate it when I see a product that's brilliant in theory but poorly executed. This had precisely the features and flexibility I was looking for - the ability to use it as a mouse or trackball meant no carpal tunnel, no redundant input devices, and the programmable buttons were a nice plus. Problem was I couldn't get it to work. Followed the instructions (sketchy and ambiguous as they were), unloaded and reloaded the drivers twice, rebooted, tried different ports, new batteies, etc., to no avail. After fiddling with the battery contacts I got it to function once for two seconds. Hmmmm. I called tech support and the first words spoken were, "Did you exchange it at the store?" Evidently they see a lot of their products delivered DOA. The 'technician' had no idea how the thing worked, forced me to walk all the way through the instructions with her before she said it was dead and to return it. When I went back to MicroCenter, they only had one other in stock so I made them try it out before I drove home. Right. That one didn't work either. Anybody know of a good portable wireless trackball?
