I swear by the standard Trackman Marble and have... 4? of them. It
has a smaller ball that just sits under your thumb, so it does gunk
up a little easier, but cleaning it out is trivial. Just pop the
ball out and remove the little grease-and-dirt cakes from its three
support points.

I also have a Trackman Marble FX and, although it's a nice design
(and I do prefer the larger ball), my hand always cramped up fairly
quickly while using it. I didn't give it much time as a result...
All the Marbles seem to be designed for someone with smaller hands
than mine and that seems to be a much bigger problem with the FX's
fin design than it is with the standard version's lower profile.
