The #ploopy adept #trackball has just the size of a snooker set (45mm). So now I have lots of balls

It is impossible to have enough #trackball. Second @ploopy adept for work

Hooked up a #trackball instead of a mouse on my #RiscOS pi2 and oh yes! Much better.

I like trackBALLS and I cannot lie!
You other nerds can't deny!
When you got a workspace in a comfy place and a #trackball in your face,
you get shit DONE!
Maybe have a little fun!

Bought a Kensington slimblade #trackball the other day. Fallen in love with the whole twist the ball to scroll thing. I was worried it would not be sensitive enough which led to a fair bit of umming and ahhing. Works in a very intuitive manner. I often find myself with one finger on top of the ball while twisting the ball with another.

Question for trackball users: Should I get a trackball mouse? I need a mouse that doesn't move.

I have never used one. I'm willing to deal with the learning curve.

Most of the time I'm a keyboard-only user, but I like to work on photography from time to time. Photo processing software is, of course, very mouse intensive.

My desk is very small and the mouse with its mouse-pad don't fit very well, specially when a notepad, a cellphone or camera is part of the workflow and it's on the desk too, next to the mouse. But, on the other hand, a trackball doesn't move.

I'm trying to do my own research, but the paid reviews are getting in my way, and I can't always differentiate between a genuine user reporting the benefits of a trackball or a "review".

Trackball users, will it solve the "my desk is too small" problem?

Trackball users - what type do you prefer?

#Trackball users: just curious if I'm the crazy one, or if it is the world that is crazy. I find this thing basically unusable without taping over the incredibly grippy feet. Are the grips a feature for you? Or do you prefer the freedom to fidget unhindered? (dw I am well aware that I am, in fact, irrevocably insane, but humour me)

Note: my phone could not tell what to focus on, so it chose "nothing" lmao

The #trackball is really the best pointer of a laptop. Scrolling with the trackball is just great.
I really wish more laptops have them. @tuxedocomputers please release a machin with trackball ;) #mntreform

Who else is rocking trackballs these days?

Huge and great. But huge!!!! #trackball https://elecomusa.com/products/b0735584rm sadly no Bluetooth
