Best First Person Shooter Controller

Well I was thinking the trackball would have to be very small to be able to use buttons with the same hand.  Like a PC trackball or something.  I don't think a 3" Happs TB and Happs buttons would be small enough.  Something like this:

Kensington TB

Otherwise, you're right -- you'd have to use something else for firing.

Has anyone ever used one of these?

I always look at it when at the store but have always been hesitant to buy it.

I would buy it, but the keys on it are the cheapest pieces of garbage I've ever seen.  The demo model's keys always stick and are hard to push.  The Dpad feels very cheap too.  Would've been a great controller if it wasn't crap. Products like this just boggle my mind -- they make a controller custom tailored to gamers to replace a keyboard, and then use keyboard keys 10 times worse than any keyboard on the market lol.

I've been using them for years now (at least 5 years, maybe more), first the nostromo n50 and then the n52.  In all these years neither one has broke and both still work great.  It does take a little while to get used to, but once you do its awesome.  I know I'll never go back to playing games on the keyboard.

Love my Nostromo!
Bought mine back when i was deep into DAoC (Thats Dark Ages Of Camelot, you know a MMO "Before" WoW)
I my n50 never broke, even tho i wore off the paint and numbers off, and eventually bought a n52 and so far not a single problem.
