We got a trackball for our Sun from Logitech but found it was very touchy
to use.  It was difficult to hit one of the buttons without also moving
the cursor and taking you hand off the ball also caused the cursor to
move.

We gave up after a few days of frustration.

Logitech can be reached at: 800-231-7717 Outside CA
