    Well, it is up to you.

    I'll not make a voting poll just like this.

    Is this one of those large spinning trackballs? Those used to be popular for certain types of DOS games.

    I know, but my XP laptop is the only PC-Compliant computer i have. Oh and i (would) need a RS-232 Serial to USB adapter.

    Those are pretty cheap and easy to come by. I've worked with quite a few of them to get old scientific equipment to run on newer computers.
