I just received my Kensington Orbit trackball in the post, as i decided to swap from optical to trackball. But does anyone else use a trackball mouse? It's really hard to use, it doesn't have scroll either. Im not sure whether to swap back or not.

Opinions please.

I have tried both and I personally prefer optical. Though trackballs tend to last longer since they are easy to repair.

Yes, they are quite easy to clean. I'm not whether its just me but when trying to click a small button, it's difficult to click it as when i move the trackball it "jumps" over it like its on a pixel grid or something. (Kinda hard to explain)

Iv'e just looked on google, Logitech have a couple of trackball models. But i hear they are good, may have to look into it whether i stick with the Kensington Orbit Trackball or not.
