What type of trackball do you prefer? Finger? Thumb?What trackball mouses do you recommend for people used to regular mouses & touchpads?
Finger. As for what I'd recommend, some cheap chinkshit like Nulea, you can buy something decent once you've decided you actually like using a trackball.Logitech, Kensington, and Elecom all make complete garbage.
>>106745698>I use a kensington orbit with scroll wheel wired. That model in the picture is effectively the same but lacks the scroll wheel. Definitely go with the one with the scroll wheel.Yeah, a scroll wheel is important. I'll make sure to get one that has that.>>106745900>Do you need the portability of wireless?Not really? is there a reason to go wireless on a trackball? I heard people say there's not much point to it since the trackball will remain stationary unlike a normal mouse.

Some of their products are pretty close in price range.
>>106749208>how different is their quality level?They are all on the same level. I don't own any Nulea products, but from what I can tell they're just clones of the big 3, and the big 3 all make complete garbage, so I can't imagine the chinks doing a worse job.
>>106749123>>106749376what companies make good quality?
>>106749392ITAC, X-keys (previously CST), professional OEM suppliers you've never heard of (with minimum order requirements you won't meet), Ploopy, Gameball (avoid the thumb, it's a chink rebadge). Prices for all of these start above 100 bucks, which is why you're better off trying a cheap chink one first to see if you even enjoy using a trackball.
i have a wireless nulea finger trackball. at first i thought i wanted a thumb ball, but decided against it in the end. its my first trackball and it does everything i want it to do. every button besides right click is in thumb area and its all intuitive. the scrollwheel is side mounted, but can be pressed down as well as in; well designed all around. cleaning is a non issue, because you can push the ball out, clean the beads and pop it back in within seconds.
>>106749533>PloopyLike the nonsense word from Diary of a Wimpy Kid? lol
>>106749727Why wireless over wired?
>>106749805my original plan was to use it with my laptop. the mouse doesnt need a surface so my laptop remains a lap top. if i can set the mouse anywhere, might as well go wireless. it has a dongle and 2 device bluetooth. im pretty sure it also just works through usb but didnt have a need to try
>>106749094had one laying around at work and tried it for the heck of it. Turns out it's super comfy. I got a Perixx 520 for cheap to try it out now. Will arrive soon
I like this one, but it looks like it's not being produced anymore.
>>106749172>>106745698Poor choice. I know someone with that model. The scrollwheel thing is too sensitive and will trigger when unintended.
>>106750577whats a better model?
>>106749094The Logitech M575 is the best mouse I've ever used. I'm interested in trying the M575S whenever this one dies but I don't see that happening for a very long time
