Thanks for looking all those up, their listings sometimes spell out trackball, sometimes trkball,
and even once trkbal.

So now I am seriously thinking of buying a trackball, I was also looking at their site for other things I might want. I am thinking about a 4way joystick (all my current ones are 8way) and I also notice they have some (or a) leaf switch joystick, or maybe it is just a leaf switch for a joystick, it's kind of hard to tell from their online information. Has anyone gotten an Imperial IMP 45-037 LEAF SWITCH JOYSTICK for $6.14? So many people rave about leaf switch joysticks for the old classics that I would like to try it out and see if it really feels so much better. If anyone has this joystick, is it 4way or 8way or switchable? They also have leaf switches for $0.75 a piece (IMP 45-030), would it make sense to get some replacement switches at the same time, in case they get hard to buy in the future?

I was planning on getting a Happ Super and making it a 4 way, are the Imperial Supers or Superiors, basically the same thing? I notice that Imperial also has a straight 4way (IMP 47-8035) and a 2-4-8way (IMP 45-035). Anyone use one of these?
