I have one of those Logitech marbles, they work well enough. In general I
like using Microsoft optical on anything they will pug into. The other day I
replaced my older belkin KVM with a newer version that does serial to PS2
mouse conversion so that my MS optical USB with PS2 adapter is connected to
the KVM and my old 486/133 DOS/Windows 3.1 machine (using the old MS mouse
driver disk) connected to the KVM with a serial cable works with it. There
is just nothing smoother then an optical mouse in my opinion, and no balls
that need cleaned (or mousepads full of cheet-os to dust off).
Mmmm, Cheet-Os!
You're right about the optical smoothness, which is why I like the
Marble. It does need cleaning every couple of months, but it's worth it
to avoid the wrist movement of a normal mouse.

And it works perfectly with RS/6000s, SGIs, NeXTstations, SPARC (with
adapter), AXP, Mac, and even PeeCees!
