Now with color!

So was it the rollermouse or the spacemouse that won?

EDIT: The Keyboard Oracle has corrected.

Nope, it's really the Roller Mouse that won. I can see the results and space mouse was second place, 4 votes behind.

I've been playing phone tag with one of their account reps trying to get a sample.

The SpaceMouse... it's really such a niche product that I'm not surprised it didn't win, it's completely a CAD navigation tool.

Really, the ForcePad is the least niche item here, and I'm not surprised that this community doesn't care all that much about trackpads.
