why did people stop using the ball mouse?
>>
>>108952163
They didn't. It's always been a niche product and has its place still.
>>
>>108952163
I stopped because it don't like cleaning the trackball every week or so (my hands aren't even that nasty, i just work in a typical office)

The best deadlock player uses a trackball mouse: https://youtu.be/Zd4jX56BBHQ

>>108952163
I still use one. Probably because they're relatively expensive compared to basic mice, which are fine for most people.

I still use it
The blade type ones are inferior to the ergonomic mice.

Some people hate thumb balls, I love em. I want one higher quality than my logitech but apparently it's the best of the best.
>>
>>108952163
I used Logitech ones for a while but their quality is so shit now that they just don't last long enough to justify the cost
>>
Quality went downhill. All the good balls are now made by companies nobody has ever heard of, so it became a gay enthusiast market with gay enthusiast prices.

I use pic related but it's far less precise than a trackpad or a regular mouse. i kinda regret buying one desu

Trackball is comparable a controller's analog stick range of motion unless you really want wear down the joints in your thumb and wrist and use low sensitivity.
Ergonomics wise trackballs are even more harmful than mice because trackball devices are locking your wrist in place and so on...Your thumb is very prone to rsi and even worse.
