I love trackball keyboards. This Key Tronic Trak 101 has some interesting features, but I think the foam is starting to degrade in the keyswitches.
The mouse drivers that came with it are intended for Windows 3.0 or 3.1, and so there isn’t a supplied driver file on those floppy disks that will work with 95 or newer. Sad, really, I would love to bolt this thing to some new hardware.
The trick feature is that the trackball becomes the cursor keys with a press of a button. This thing is littered with status LEDs to tell you want mode it’s in.
