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.

this one right? you use it with your thumb, i assume.

what aber these n ew ones from logitech?



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 was looking to get one too. Any more opinions on the thumb controlled ones vs. the middle + index version? Is this just a matter of getting used to it or is one or the other better for poker?

also , LOL @ wireless TRACKBALLS. I think nothing but "decadence" suits this invention. Wy the heck would you need that?
