Well track balls would be better do to being able to use it on any surface
A track ball mouse is a mouse that uses an internal ball to track movement, instead of a laser. These have been outdated by optical mice.
They both do the same job. And on an older mouse it's easy to see the similarities. An older computer mouse would have a ball underneath. Then as you moved the mouse around the ball would roll and the computer would count the rotations. A track ball was basically a mouse turned upside down. Instead of moving the mouse to rotate the ball, you'd move the ball directly with your fingers instead.
Track Ball Mouse
Almost all laptops these days include a built in mouse, though very few include a track ball. You can purchase a track ball and attach it to your laptop, if you so desire. anonymous@oola.com
A "ball mouse" or mechanical mouse is a computer mouse which detects user inputs using a system of servos detecting the movements of a ball (inside the mouse) which rolls on the desk surface. The most common alternative, the "optical mouse" uses optical sensors to detect user inputs. The optical mouse is widely considered to be superior in all important respects, and is therefore becoming much more common then their mechanical cousins.
The track ball mouse is designed for use by people with dexterity problems. They are manufactured by Logitech and Kensington and can be bought from any good computer store.

If you remember the mice used long time ago before optical mice, they used a rubber ball underneath them to track movement. Well, take that technology and imagine the mouse upside down where you only spin the ball while the mouse is stationary. A track ball is a large mounted ball fixed in position apart from its rotation ability that is designed to move the cursor like a mouse except that it is stationary.
A trackball is an input device for controlling the cursor (mouse) the ball works the same way the ball on a mouse works except that you use your hand to turn the ball. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackball

what is roller ball mouse
A tracker ball is both a the ball on top of a stationary mouse and a type of a mouse that has a ball on top. A typical mouse is moved over a pad and has the ball directing the cursor on the bottom, but a tracker ball type mouse has the ball on top of a stationary mouse where you direct the cursor by moving the ball with your thumb, FOREFINGER AND MAINLY WITH YOUR PALM. This type of mouse is sometimes called a tracker ball for short and the ball on this type of stationary mouse is also called a tracker ball. [ delete the following:...It is not a good name. What does it track? Nothing that I can tell. Computer terms were assigned by people who wanted to make it confusing, didn't speak English, or were very confused themselves] It would be better explained as follows. '''A tracker ball is both a the ball on top of a stationary mouse and''' [?a type of a mouse that has a ball on top]. '''A typical mouse is moved over a pad and has the ball directing the cursor on the bottom, but a tracker ball type mouse has the ball on top of a stationary mouse where you direct the cursor by moving the ball with your thumb,''' '''forefinger but mostly with the inner aspect of your palm. This type of mouse is used by people with arthritis or RSI as it saves making the fiddly and speedy movements with the digit joints (which cause some people pain) and directs the cursor by making a round movement after putting your hand over the large glass "tracker" which is on top of the "mouse". I myself was able to work as a secretary doing 100wpm until the age of 59 despite arthritic fingers since my late-40s, because an ERGONOMIC TRACKER MOUSE was recommended and purchased for me by my employers. I can highly recommend the TRACKER MOUSE to anybody - especially to those with arthritic hands and intermittent RSI.''' '''"Tracker Lover"'''
