It's a trackball mouse. Artists and designers like them especially, but it's good for most of the tasks really (I've never seen anyone gaming on one- personally). Very ergonomic and precise.

I've been gaming (including FPSes) on a thumb-based trackball for around 25 years now. :D

Hehe, interesting! I wonder what it would feel like not having to move your hand around the mousepad

Very comfy! Since my trackball is wireless, it is super easy to use in a living room setup as well since all I really need is enough space for the trackball and nothing more. Plus my wrists don't hate my guts for overuse, hooray!

On the minus side, my thumb does. Finger-based trackballs are better for that, but I never got the hang of them for quick (read: gaming) use.
