CTH is a better forum than this one [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No real recommendations from me, I haven't used one for years - but my dad swears by them. You can't go too far wrong with a vaguely expensive Microsoft or Logitech model.

do you navigate it with your index and middle finger?

using your thumb is better for playing like 12 tables than using your normal finger, right?

i went to buy a trackball and ended up getting the thumb controlled one. i don't see how u can use ur fingers effectively (lol omg sex joke) as opposed to ur thumb for easy navigation/fast button clicking.

i can fly from my 1st screen to my third just by snapping my thumb. it's nice, and has corrected my CTS syndrome (start of).

Get the top one in your pictures. have been using mine for over 6 months and dig it. No more wrist pain for me. Took me a little time to get used to using my thumb, but once I did no other mouse could compare.

I have the wireless version of this mouse and it's awesome.

OP, congratulations on making the switch to trackballs; they are far superior to regular mice, and you can now make fun of those that use them.

Definitely try the marble mouse. It is like the ones above, only the ball is centered with buttons on either side. Also, it is cheap, accurate, and works amazingly well. I have three of them, and like them better than many others I have tried.

FWIW, I have heard that the Kensington trackballs, the sort of conventially styled ones, are pretty good as well.

good luck

I've been using a logitech track ball. It only has a single button on each side, and i use my middle 3 fingers or any pair combination of the 3(index/middle;middle/ring)

Point being: the trackball mouse rocks; a bit of getting use to but I swear by it. Although it's definetely time to upgrade to one with more buttons. Oh, and also, I had tried the thumb one and I thought it was a major pain. That was years ago though and maybe with my new trackball coordination skills, I'd learn to like the thumb version better.

hi,

i use the second one and got used to it within a few days.i use the index and third finger to move the ball and my thumb for clicking action buttons.i have,however , no experience with using a thumboriented trackball.for me it works great and woudlnt want to use a standard mouse for poker ever again.
