I've stopped using traditional "ball" mice a long time ago.  Got tired 
of having to take the thing apart and cleaning the lint off the ball and 
rollers.  Now I use a wireless optical mouse with a recharging base.  It 
works under Ubuntu just fine as either a USB mouse or PS/2 mouse with 
the USB-to-PS/2 adapter.  I also have a Logitech roller-ball mouse where 
you roll a large ball with your thumb.  It takes a little getting used 
to but its great for when you don't have a lot of room to use a regular 
mouse.
