- I have learned of 3 alternatives to the Sun optical mouse.
-
- The first two are by Logitech. One is a mechanical mouse, the other is
- the Trackman. They work on both Series 3 and Series 4 keyboards.
-
- The third is trackball manufactured by MicroSpeed.
-
- All three of these can be obtained from the Qualix Group in San Mateo,
- CA. I went by their offices this morning, and they let me use all 3
- devices so I could select the one that worked best for me. I decided on
- the Logitech Trackman -- it was by far the most comfortable for me. The
- retail prices for the devices range from $139 to $199.
-
- For more information, call Qualix at 415-572-0200.
