    It's a looong read, but very interesting if you are into input device choices.

    Had to replace my wired track ball recently

    ELECOM EX-G Wired Trackball, my first diversion from Logitech in the trackball world. While Logitech was busy removing a wire from a stationary object, Elecom was out here adding buttons.

    I also have a wireless version for travel.

    An experimental trackball game controller

    Results were favorable. The trackball provided a 60.1% increase in throughput over the standard controller for novice participants. More impressively, it was shown to provide a 58.7% increase in throughput for participants already adept with the use of a standard controller.

    My daily driver, I've yet to find a better one

    I've been rocking the Kensington Orbit wired for years now and I've yet to find a better trackball.

    Reasons:

    • works for both hands
    • scroll ring
    • big ball
    • wired
    • works reliably

    I use the trackball with my left hand and a mouse with my right.

    It seems like such a cheaply made product, but it just works so very, very well.

    GameBall

    In my previous job I tested Logitech's Marble Trackball mouse and fell in love with it in no time. I decided to buy a similar trackball for home use with more buttons and ordered the GameBall.

    My PC is already an "RGB hell" so GameBall's changing light color works as a natural extension aesthetically. The trackball requires no additional software to be installed, and any button settings can be adjusted for one's liking. There's a dedicated button for changing the DPI. The DPI button is really useful for tasks where I need to be more accurate, such as music editing and mixing.

    Well, it's a gaming mouse, how it works for gaming? I don't really play FPS games and I mostly use a gamepad, but I'd say that GameBall could be a fitting option. Someone who plays FPS games actively with trackballs could have a more thorough opinion regarding this.

    Around the ball are two touchpads that function as scroll wheels. That allows for horizontal and vertical scrolling when zooming large images f
