I've got to wonder if I've got a variant because the 'pearl' of mine sits slightly above the 'trackball' surface that you see in all the photos. It acts as a joystick, in that I can apply static pressure against the 'pearl', and without scrolling my thumb, watch my menu selection move in the direction of my pressure. This is strange.

I'm an implant/instrument design engineer/manufacturer so ball-and-socket is really simplistic from my end, so I now understand your perspective. I've got an oddity I've got to look further into. Maybe a preproduction unit that got mixed into a release inventory. No one else in my company has gotten one yet, as I'm acting as the guinea pig.

Just got off the phone with my rep so I'm leaving for my corp store and find out what's going on here.
