I use the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Version 1.0; It's been passed down from Lasereth to me. I bet the damn thing has thousands upon thousands of hours played with it. It's 10 years old, still going strong. A similar situation happened to me as with Lasereth;
I was using an Intellimouse for about 2 years (wireless optical) and I had got nice and used to it in games and every day applications. One day, I unearthed the Microsoft Wheel Mouse V1, ball included, and I mutilated every game I touched, including World of Warcraft (I was able to navigate the UI much, much faster) and especially FPS games. So much more accurate when I use a ball mouse. I know that optical is technically more accurate, but I really mopped up with that ball mouse. I am still using it today.
