I’ve never preferred the mouse as an input device.
I also use trackballs on my work machines.
There’s dozens of us!
Get this wild man out of the community!
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.
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.
Huh. I’ve also been trackballing for … Maybe 24 years … And I’ve dislocated my shoulder 14 times. I never connected the two; I figured the shoulder thing was due to volleyball, since that’s how I did it the first time.
That’s impressive. You must have been a real gamer
What’s your opinion on the lenovo nipple?
You mean the clit mouse?
Ah, so that’s why I can never find it without looking
Not enough experience with it to say.
So what do you use at home?
Console gamer here, so I just use the built-in trackpad on the laptop. No need to be super agile when not working.
