I was complaining about my dodgy Amiga mouse for quite some time and now I finally have a solution for that.
I bought the "Micromys V4" from Individual Computers: https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/micromys-v4.html
A PS/2 to Amiga/Atari ST/C64 Mouse converter.
Only tested it on the Amiga so far, but it should also work on the other machines without any configuration. Just plug it in and the device detects which machine you are using it on. Pretty neat, I think.
I tested it first with the Trackman Marble I got for one Euro at the Eindhoven retro fair.
Not sure if all games I tried really benefited from using a trackball..
