I’ve never preferred the mouse as an input device.

    Same.

    I also use one for gaming.

    I just find them generally preferable to any other type of mouse I’ve tried.

      Agreed. I’ve been using them since I did PC gaming as a kid. Only downside (at the risk of sharing something in-dull) is that I eventually dislocated my shoulder from spending so many hours gaming with a trackball when I was young. I would just anchor my wrist to the desk and move my fingers only and I guess my shoulder didn’t like that.

      A trackball can lead to a rather exciting life. You can operate them while they are perched on the very edge of an excitingly messy desk, or even on your thigh for those times when your desk is just too cluttered. My advice is to stick with a traditional mouse, and thus stick with a traditionally dull life.

      Console gamer here, so I just use the built-in trackpad on the laptop. No need to be super agile when not working.
