I've been desiring a trackball for my work rig, I've done some searching on amazon and found this guy:
My fears with this particular trackball is it will be too small as many reviews seem to be bringing that up as a big issue. So I'm wondering who here has experience with balls and can recommend me some good balls that fit my criteria... I understand they're tough to find today as they're such a niche product which is pretty unfortunate imo.
My requirements are very simple:
Trackball. I want a real trackball... not one of those thumb-operated monstrosities.
4 buttons. I need right, left, forward, back.
Scroll functionality. wheel or ring is fine.
Relatively cheap. This one's tough... the nice ones that fit my criteria I've found are at least $70, whereas I'm trying to keep the cost ~$50 or less.
I got one of these last week. I'm still getting used to it. I also picked up a Logitech g502 mouse to compare it to. Love the mouse.
Does anyone with a trackball lube it or just let your finger oil do the work? Also how do you handle acceleration? I have trouble rolling it across a 4K screen without acceleration, but with accel on, it's frustrating to make fine movements. Maybe there's something I'm missing.
Yeah I bought the one in the OP because it's the only one that fit my needs in the price range I was looking at. But that Kingston expert does look really nice. It hasn't arrived yet though so I can't comment on it yet.
