Reddit reviews CST2545W (L-TRAC) USB Wired High Performance Trackball, Black - Made in the USA

Dat trackball.

I've been considering picking one up.

This is the model page from where I purchased it.
It also has this upgrade done to it https://www.clearlysuperiortech.com/how-to-replace-l-trac-rollers

If you want something built like a tank, you might want to try one of the CST trackballs - they're available in several variants, including a beige one to match old keyboards.

If you want something more ergonomic, there's the new Elecom HUGE, but as it just came out a few days ago, we don't know how long it'll last.

And finally, if you want retro, nothing beats the good old Microsoft Trackball Explorer, but it's out of production for well over a decade and might be expensive. (but can be bought cheaply if you're willing to spend some time, use google translate and look for it on eastern/central european auction sites or taobao) - but, like most old trackballs, its DPI is really meh and you'll probably have to replce the bearings or it'll feel scratchy.

Do you know if this model has the updated rollers? This will be my first trackball and I'm too impatient to wait a month just to save $15.

I am a fan of finger trackballs, but I wouldn't recommend the Kensington.

I'm stuck with a couple of M570s, but if I had the money, I'd jump on a CST in a heartbeat. It's actually built for two more buttons, and you can add them yourself with a bit of soldering. That lets you put them exactly where you want them.

The reviews I've seen which compare CST with Kensington do not come out well for Kensington at all.
