A clever idea, but hideously overpriced at $250. It may have no moving parts, but it still could cease to function, and would likely be impossible to very difficult to repair.
My guess is that it would not outlive 14 Paint Perfect trackballs, such as I am using now.

It's designed for military uses. In tanks, etc. The military would have no problem paying $250 for these gizmos.
Also, some industrial uses come to mind, where it could save it's cost over a few years.

$250 of MY MONEY, it should be mentioned, to fight some dumbass war that should have never been mongered.
Chances are, it could be produced in the usual place (the PRC) and sold for under $50 at a handsome profit.

I seriously doubt you pay even one penny of it.
Regardless, I'm sure there are government expenses that you are the recipient of that I would object to. That's the way governmental taxes work.
If you object, fight for lower taxes.

I will object to a larger and more spendthrift military, thank you very much.
Juniorbush, as a warongering incompetent blatherskyte, is hardly for "lower taxes", he just wants to borrow and squander and get some future generation to pay for his borrowing and squandering.

if it did breakdown
the troops might go to the local radio shack and buy a trackball and replace it till it finally get replaced.
requisitions in the military is not cut & dry.
every once in awhile I buy a ton of groceries for friends of mine in the navy.
our sailors get feed,but toward the end of each supply shipment it gets abit desperate.
quite often these guys take a collection of money and have me or someone to buy food for them.
toilet paper also

And the Democrats want future generations to pay for their domestic programs. Not much of a difference.

I have been there.
But dependability is worth a lot of money when you are shooting and getting shot at.
