The model numbers I know of are the CX22 and the CX80.  I know the CX22 has
round buttons.  The CX80 has triangular buttons which aren't that good for
rapid action, but would be good for computer use.  I know there is a mod
out there to turn a CX80 into an Amiga trakball which I'd like to try.

There is also the WICO trakball which only works in JS mode, but is
otherwise a great controller with a great fire button.
