Anybody Use A TrackBall? - GoFuckYourself.com

DeanCapture · 05-27-2010, 02:06 PM

Any of you folks use a trackball instead of a mouse? If so, what model?

Thinkin' about getting one......

candyflip · 05-27-2010, 02:07 PM

Used to have one, but never got to liking it. I know a few people who swear by them.

My trusty Logitech G7s still do the job for me.

I use a Kensington trackball for my win7 install (on an iMac). I could take it or leave it.

baddog · 05-27-2010, 03:05 PM

Logitech Trackman for many years. I love it.

Deej · 05-27-2010, 03:38 PM

I bought one... within 10 minutes of hating it I gave it to the GF. She uses it every day...

This is what I rock. I bought it because I felt onset of some hand issues a couple years ago. It is shaped to help eliminate that issue. Havent felt it since.

I don't know what RF stands for. Real fiction? Rap Fans?

I still don't believe any of it.

Do I have to say it?

hypedough · 05-27-2010, 06:36 PM

I literally bought one 2 days ago, and returned it this morning. Got used to it but didn't like not being 100% precise.

Never used a trackball.

The best mouse bar none is the Logitech MX Revolution.

RF = Radio Frequency

You know we landed on the Moon a few years back, right?

If you like that one, you might give the one i posted above a shot. Its a notch above in comfort in my opinion than the one you posted. I did y research one these.

This is my opinion, but go to a store and give it a feel.

the what?

radio frequency is the little red wagon I got for my birthday this year right?

Gerco · 05-27-2010, 08:44 PM

All I have used for over 10 years. Like anything from Kensinton, and currently use a logitec model because it can be used right or left handed.

VHNet · 05-27-2010, 08:47 PM

Logitech Trackman Wheel for about 2 years now. good for everything but gaming.

Kensington trackball

Hentaikid · 05-28-2010, 05:32 AM

Logitech marble... I like it because it's symmetric so I can use it with either hand (Mostly use the right though)

Great for my RSI

scarlettcontent · 05-28-2010, 05:48 AM

used to have one but did my wrist damage so went back to the old mouse

I use the Logitech Trackman

Best thing about it is the ergonomics, your wrist doesn't sit low with the ball above as with most trackballs.

All trackballs do slow you down a bit though, good for browsing not precision work.
