I own one of these. They are surpassingly more comfortable than I thought, but I have small hands. I was disappointed by the full “beige” one called Tofu, that turned out to just be peach instead.

I did also have mice with balls at the bottom when I was young, but I honestly forgot they existed! I even had the apple mouse that had a ball instead of a scroll wheel and it was horrible. I am just not used to people wanting them, lol. When people ask me about balls on mice they usually mean the additional thumb area one.

I don't get why anyone would want a ball mouse either. One tiny spec of dust gets picked up, the mouse doesn't fuckin work properly until you take the ball out and clean it. Every 5 minutes. When optical mice came out, never had that problem again.
