Years ago, I bought a Microsoft Trackball Explorer 1.0. I know, I know, most don't like trackballs, but I'm a big guy and I have hands big enough to palm a basketball with ease. It allows me to game without hand cramps as I can open my hand up and access all buttons with ease. It's getting pretty old, and I'd love to buy a new one. Much to my surprise these are now going for a LOT of money! New can be as much as $400, and I already have a used one.

I've tried others, but I just hate a thumb controlled trackball and most finger controlled models out there are too skinny for my crazy man-hands. Any other trackball fans out there had a similar issue and have any recommendations? I'd love to find a suitable replacement. This is the only piece of hardware that I cannot live without.

I forgot all about that site! If I can't find one there I guess I'm just SOL. Thanks for the links.
