Poll: Track Ball or Regular Mice

[kyutip]

I'm currently using Mouseman Wheel.
I'm tired of moving the mouse around and my desk is pretty cluttered.
I never use trackball before, just playing with them at Best Buy.
Any opinion ? does it works well in regular computing and gaming ?

trackballs are an acquired taste.

I use this Logitech trackball and I love it. It took me about two days to get used to it.

My trackball is optical.




EDIT===> I can also put my trackball on my gut and it works just the same.

 

[kyutip]

you mean take out the trackball and roll it anywhere you want ?? that would be cool.
I'll get that if that's possible.

I use both. At work where I have a small desk, and uncomfortable ergonomics, I use a trackball. It's just better because I can move it into any position that is comfortable and still have "mousing" ability. I wouldn't have that luxury if I had to have ample room to track a mouse.

At home though, I prefer an optical mouse. Games just aren't as comfortable with a trackball as they are with a mouse. You have a greater margin of error with a mouse than you do with a trackball. By this, I mean that a movement on a trackball has greater effect on the cursor than a movement on a mouse. Of course, all of these movements can be tweaked, but generally speaking, my logitech trackman marble is generally "faster" than my logitech optical mouse.

It's just a comfort thing I guess.

Trackballs all the way!

But they do take some getting used to though. I like them cause I never run out of mouse pad space and they move so smooth and precisely. But once you get used to them you never go back!

 

[yakko]

No. I mean lean back in the chair put my feet up with the trackball sitting on my stomach.

I like mouse, but I didn't see a poll so I couldn't vote. :Q

Logitech Trackman marble+ = gaming goodness! Yes, it's optical too.

I just switched to a trackball from a mouse. Was tired of cleaning the mouseball every 4 days. And I found a better deal on a Microsoft Intellipoint Optical Trackball than I ever will for an optical mouse.

So far I prefer the trackball, but it will take me a few days to get over pushing it around my desk!

I used to use a Logitech Trackman marble FX, it was nice. But then my wrist started getting uncomfortable.. so I switched back to mouse.

I have a Kensington expert mouse (big ball). It is definitely an acquired taste, but I can't use a regular mouse now.

 

[Supradude]

trackballs are da bomb for regular use,...
optical mice are the bomb for fraggin and games...
gotta have noth, best of two worlds

Logitech TrackMan Marble+ optical trackball. Fits my hand perfectly. I love it so much I bought another one for when this one breaks.
