I hate these kinds of mice but my mother has been using Logitech trackball mice at work for like 20 years so I know some people swear by them. Not sure how usable it would be for something like gaming though.
I’m gaming with an elecom thumb trackball that has many buttons. It has pros and cons. It’s faster to move your thumb than your entire arm, but because one degree on screen is less movement on the trackball than a mouse, aiming needs more getting used to and is harder if your fingers are shaky. you can flick the ball to spin though 😆
I’ve been gaming on trackballs for years (finger trackball, not thumb trackball) with no issues. It also fixed all ergonomics problems and my wrist don’t hurt anymore even after 8 hours of work.
P.s. the logitech trackball, if it’s the one without scroll wheel, is not usable for me or gaming in general.
I used to game with trackballs. They are very usable when you get used to them. Also very handy when you need to move you rig a lot since it doesn’t need space for a mouse pad to work.
I could but I don’t wanna risk spending the money when I don’t know what’s wrong with it. I did open it up to see if the battery was swollen or something but it wasn’t.
The mouse also doesn’t work when directly plugged into the computer, which also makes me think it might not be the battery.
