I've never liked using a mouse and the first time I tried a trackball , I was sold. I also have used the same Logitech K350 keyboard for many years because I like the size & tilt of it. I wear them out about every year or two from high use.
Haha, yes, I knew what you meant, but as for Muz's question, since he asked mouse/keyboard vs. "game controller" rather than mouse vs. trackball, I assumed he was talking about gaming.
Wow, that brings me back. The Commodore 64 was the second computer I owned (after a Texas Instruments TI-99), and I have a lot of fond memories of playing games like Ultima, Bard's Tale, Lode Runner, Maniac Mansion (and a whole lot of others I'm forgetting) on it.
