Title: Worlds smallest Trackball

World's Smallest Trackball?
Thanks to a post on alt.games.mame by Ernest Kemp, I've now seen what could be the smallest commercial trackball ever built. How small? How about 8mm (.315 inches for metric-challenged Americans)? Designed for use in products like mobile phones, this is one tiny trackball. It even has LED backlighting options!

i have one of this and the trackball is like the bigger size marble. A dollar store sells a bag of marbles and usually there is 1 or 2 bigger marble in it, that the size of the ball for this one..
