For years now I have a TrackMan Wheel by Logitech, but it's starting to slowly dissolve after years of continuous use. Unfortunately, they don't make that one any more - only its successor which is wireless for some inexplicable reason (you don't move a trackball around - why do you care about wires?). As such I'm on the lookout for a replacement. I've tried the old Apple Trackpad, but it doesn't feel as comfortable as the trackball - likely because it has a way too steep angle for me - also it is in need of constant battery replacement which just doesn't make sense for a stationary object on the table. Maybe the new trackpad is a solution for this: The angle looks less steep and it can presumably be used in wired mode or at least it doesn't need new batteries as it comes with a rechargeable one. I'm used to Force Touch from a 15" retina macbook pro and I like it very much on that machine, so that's probably ok. Really looking forward to trying this one out :-)
