For pure workstations and laptops I prefer the trackball mouse in any case.
Deductions are, however, for the mouse wheel: This could be quieter, more precise and smoother.
Very negative I find the pressure point of the wheel, because I work a lot with different browser tabs.
You have to expend a lot of energy for a "middle click".
I would have liked even given 5 stars because I quite a fan of trackball mice am now - perhaps the successor.
