On the other hand you can't get a wired trackball from them that has the ball to the left; the M570 and the MX Ergo are wireless-only. I have an earlier wired USB Trackman Marble with a PS/2 adapter, which I'm glad I bought and squirreled away when it was available. My 20-or-so-year-old PS/2 Trackman finally started to show its age, and the "newer" one came out of storage to replace it.

I see that the wired USB/PS2 Logitech TrackMan Wheel is available from refurbished on newegg for USD 45. I'm tempted to give it a shot now.

Hmmm... might be worth looking into. (The trackball I was referring to was that, not the Marble). It wouldn't be bad to have a spare, though if this one holds up as well as the ancient Trackman I retired, I won't be needing it for a while.
