Baddest Mouse I've ever seen!

If you don't like the Nostromo - try The Claw
http://www.claw.com.au/
There is most definitely a learning curve - Tried out a friends and hated it, tried it again a while later and did better with it. Have used it a few more times since, and am pretty sure I'm going to pick one up now. I defintely prefer the feel of it vs. the nostromos
Haven't run into anyone who's given theirs up once they start using it.
And if you really prefer the feel of traditional keyboard type interface, take a look at this:

If it were 50 bucks less, I might go for it instead of the Claw.

Why would you need a wireless trackball? Doesn't it just sit in one spot?
edit: By the way, here are some wireless logitech trackballs. Maybe one of them is the right one.

Yeah, you'd think so, but my setup is kinda.....let's just say you'd be looking at me a little more askance than you already do ;D I'm a "mover" - comfortable to be right now, won't be in about 10 minutes, and without drilling holes all over the place, the corded version locks me into less positions in which to get comfortable.
Thanks for the link - the one at the top is the exact mouse I had, and other than buying one straight from Logitech for more than I originally paid for it, I haven't had much luck at ALL finding one! That price there is still a touch higher, but I'm good with paying that price for it....mebbe happy times are here again :P

See....even more confirmation that you need to put in a padded room!! ;)
As for the gaming mouse issue, I can't compare any of these mice until I can upgrade my sorry --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- computer. It's too slow to play anything worth the cost of buying a special mouse.
I like this thread though, I'm excited to try some of these contraptions out.

Being an in-the-closet computer geek with a decent job and low cost of living, my computer is in a constant state of upgrade. New speakers here, new keyboard there, plug in the occasional extra hard drive, etc. But every now and then something drastic upgrade gets done such as a new motherboard and processor. This happened recently and my computer is retarded fast (only swine can't appreciate paradox :P ). But the funny thing is I hardly use it. My wife's a graphic designer so she's the only one who really taxes it. My life is too busy right now to become invested in PC games. I mostly play my Xbox and Gamecube.
So...long story short, I've played WoW or City of Heroes or Half Life 2 or Farcry or any other PC game released in the past year (including Doom, but I just can't bring myself to feeling like I'm missing out there), in spite of having a system that will smoke through these games with aplomb.
I've often thought that the N50 looked really cool, but for the reasons stated above, I'm afraid I'll never find out.
