You'll need some training before you can use it effectively, so you might as well learn to use it with your left hand and keep your keyboard centered.

nope, these things are godly if you have bad wrists, or want good ones when your 50.

still think mouse gloves would be better but would have their own drawbacks.

only drawback on trackball is if you need to clean the spinners like old non laser mouse.

WHAT THE FUCK do you do with a trackball and why? A normal mouse is superior in literally every possible way.

this is what I was waiting for!
thanks! fucking retarded son of a bitch, now go kill urself, faggot.
>>
>>52227874
please put an 8 ball in it 4 me
>>
>>52229535
a normal mouse needs space to travel. a trackball remains stationary and can take up relatively limited space.

in that one way a trackball is superior. I'm sure people who actually prefer trackballs will show up with other reasons that they think trackballs are superior, but if you're proven wrong right out of the gate you should just back up and hedge your retarded claims.
>>
>>52229535
good for people with wrist problems i think

Yup you did.
>>

Good for people that don't play video games

But if you don't play video games you should be using a trackpoint or high quality trackpad instead of the separate pointing device meme

But I do find the middle click hard to press while using the ball.

If that is important to you I recommend setting up like pic related, binding middle click to numpad enter with neatmouse, and binding scroll lock to turn that binding on and off.

Dunno, but when I will be replacing my aging laptop I'll probably buy myself one of these. I don't play games anymore and not having to keep a mousepad or any free space on my desk for mouse travel sounds like a godsend

Please , you guys have to stop misusing the concept of 'meme'.

Up until a week ago, a meme was just a meme.

Now it is a blanket term to include that which one doesnt like or that which one cannot understand.

You idiots did the same thing with the word "cuckhold" a few months back.

STOP IT!

Being able to click without moving the cursor by a single pixel makes a trackball inherently more accurate than a mouse.

Not that guy but I can click my mouse easily without moving the cursor a single pixel.
>>
>>52235568
I'm not saying that its impossible with a mouse but it's a sure thing with a trackball.

It made a difference with me for 3D modeling imho.
>>
>>52235639
It might be more or less difficult with certain mice, but with mine it's really a sure thing to click it without moving if I want it to, and I do have a good mousepad that allows it to glide quite smoothly and such.
>>
>>52235723
H'm you must just have a more steady hand. Even with a m45 and decent steelseries mat I still got a bit of jump on some clicks when trying to nail a specific value on a bar for instance.
>>
>>52235809
It might help that my mouse is 400 DPI.
>>
>>52236101
Nah, the other guy just has Parkinson's. I'm at like 2500 DPI and my pointer doesn't move at all when I click.
>>
>>52228122
Not worth it over a QFR. Still a great keyboard, though.

Hifi headphones are fine as long as you don't spend more than 2 to 300 dollars

You're right not to support nvidia.

>>52237538
Diminishing returns. It's generally not worth it to spend a lot of money. I'm sure whatever you got was good, but probably not worth it.
>>
>>52237576
well the thing is I really wanted to spend that amount of money and I was well aware of diminishing returns.

These types of trackballs are obviously quite harmful to the wrist. A better choice would be a thumb-oriented trackball such as the m570, although eventually you will strain your thumb (albient after a longer period of time).

The best mouse for reducing RSI is actually a large trackpad.
