Anyone here use a trackball mouse?

I have used the same trackball for about a decade...

I use the exact same trackball. It doesn't have a scroll bar and I use my index, middle and ring finger to navigate. However, I don't miss the scroll bar and the mouse has worked for me for years.

Trackball world lists just about every current trackball there is. It tells you the ball size, etc, so it makes it easy to shop around since most stores wont have one for you to try. Better prices can be had elsewhere though, so shop around.

I use a Marble Mouse at work for doing technical drawings and love it. Couldn't get myself to work with a thumb roller...I feel I get better precision with using my index finger. Next one I get will be one like the Qtronix Lynx with side scroll wheel or the Kensington Expert with scroll ring. A dedicated scroll with ambidextrous operation and a bigger ball for better precision should be hard to beat.

I tried the marble mouse, but it lacks scroll wheel. The thumb one did not like. I have been looking for a good trackball with scroll with no success.

Gaming related?

If that's the case I feel your pain. I personally just use a very complex set of binds.

just buy a high DPI mouse, you can move it less than an inch and it moves the pointer to the oter side of the screen.

I just turn the pointer speed to max and it does the same thing.

I love trackballs, I never bother with mice whenever I have a choice. The *old* logitech thumb/trackballs are the best I've ever used. Unfortunately they modified the design slightly a year or so back and they're not quite as comfortable as they used to be.

Wireless .. most of mine are the Logitec Optical Cordless Trackman .. 7 buttons and a scroll wheel .. all function in Ubuntu

Or hard wired the Logitec Trackman Marble FX .. been using those for YEARS. It is the ONLY wired pointing device that is going UP in value every year.
