No those were just called 'mice'. Trackballs weren't mice. They didn't move on the desk. You're hand rolled a ball that was exposed on the top. You can still get trackballs today.

When optical mice came out, the old ones were called 'ball mice' or 'rolerball mice'. But that's still not trackball mice.
