>>571439642
its much more precise because its faster, you dont have to move your whole arm, just the fingers.

>>571439363
How are those? Do you control the ball with your thumb alone? I always use these kind.

This is literally the stupidest invention ever created in the history of man.

>>571439642
a lot of graphic designers use trackballs, presumably for the better precision.

>>571439905
Yeah well if you don't want to move your whole arm just change sensitivity to insane that is what I do

>>571439363
or you could just turn your dpi up and move across the whole screen with no effort

>>571439905
Just crank that mouse sensitivity to max. I only have to use my fingers to move my mouse.
Unless there's more to this that I'm not getting. Not sure.

>>571439984
yeah you put your hand on it just like a mouse and thumb the ball around. i wanted a palm one but i decided to start with the thumb ball to make it easier at first.

>>571440006
your mother is a whore

>>571440054

I'm a graphic and CAD designer. I've been using this for the last 15 or 16 years of work. There is no normal mouse comparable.

When I was a little kid I used to play "missile command" with one of those. And later, "track & field".

>>571439363
Trackball is horrible for gaming.
Try playing a fast-paced fps game and turning around 180 degrees quickly. Sure I guess you could up the sensitivity so you'd turn with less thumb movements but then it would make precise aiming hard.

G400 masterrace here.

>>571439905
You have more control over your cursor with your hand vs simply just a thumb. Fast-paced vidya requires this.

>>571440329
i play a lot of SC2. Platinum ranked. i think it helps a lot for scrolling and more precise microing.

>>571440458
what? you just spin the ball hard instead of dragging your mouse 6 inches across the desk. works great. they are very sensitive.

>>571439363
Because it isn't the late 80's/early 90's anymore.

im a macfag and use trackpad

>>571440589
>League
Yeah, great for a game where you dont have to think or act quickly.

>>571440670
go play some quake with a trackball and see how quickly you get shit on.

>>571440670
6 inches..this guy

>>571440670
If you'd play FPS games with it you'd never reach any kind of good level. It's a shit gimmick that didn't catch on.

>>571440670
>6 inches
More like 1 inch. Depending on your sensitivity.

>>571440801
still proof of pro gamers using it.

>>571440721
not ball mice. trackballs are different.

>>571440849
never played quake. pretty good at counterstrike though.

>>571439551
good fucking luck using that shit in a game like CS, you'll get dropped real quick.

>>571441020
have you people ever heard of dpi? the higher your sensitivity the lower the precision.

have any of you ever tried with a modern trackball? its awesome.

>>571441156
bullshit. i can spin and aim faster than you could on a mouse, period. and it wont get caught on the edge of the mousepad either.

This thing master-race reporting in.

>>571439363
Trackball owner here, currently using wireless.

My first one was the corded one just like in the picture, and I would NOT recommend it. While logitech makes an excellent mouse, they connect it with a shitty cord. If that fucker bends even slightly, it will leave an impression on the wiring inside, and then it will have to remain in that same exact curve or the signal will get shit on. If anyone even blew on that fucking cord, the mouse just stopped working, and you had to jiggle the cord around until you found the sweet spot and it worked again. You'd be fucked if you were playing something online.

Wireless one has been excellent so far though, it reads through walls and far as a mofo. You can even leave it on and turn off and on your computer while it's plugged in and there's never any problems

>>571439363

It's almost like I'm in 2006 again.

It's easier to overcome static friction on a mouse than on a trackball.

>>571441805
yeah he's most likely the only person in the world with a trackball.

Show me a trackball for people wich are left handed and with a scroll wheel and i will buy one for myself. There are none

>>571439363
y'know, a trackball is a mouse. trackball is the kind of mouse it is.

>>571442141
fair enough. you could get one of the palm ones with a scroll ring but those arent even close to a mouse.

>>571439363

Because I'm 8 foot away from my 50inch screen, in bed, using my ps3 control to navigate my desktop.

Yeeeeeaaaaaah I'm not sure that's how it works champ.

>>571442039
lightweight gaming mouse with variable dpi for adjustable precision, and i've never seen big name pro gammers use a trackball. maybe its good for a select group of people, buuuut, there's probably a reason most don't

We used to have one of those, looked a lot like the one on the right in the OP. Really hated it, and was really embarrassed by it. Didn't like people to come to my place because it was so ugly. Fuck being a kid is lame. I used to call it a rat, i remember. Get it? it's like a mouse but bigger and uglier? hahahahahaha

>>571442412
unless you have a baby-sized mouse its gonna take more than just your fingers to move it. im not saying you need your shoulder but the forearm's gonna come into play.

>>571442391
trackballs are superior.

>>571442436
thats probably the root of the issue. maybe it doesnt work for some people or more likely they never tried it.

this thread is fucking pointless.

>>571443073
I bet you play bloodseeker mainly

Trackballs are simply the best. I just wish Logitech had added the smooth scroll wheel to the M570 when they released it. That was amajor fail for Logitech.

>>571443024
not those.

>>571442971
laid it out in the OP. its easier on the arm/wrist and faster once you get good with it. very precise too.

>>571443068
i've learned that trackballs work much better for me and a very few others but most people havent tried them and assume they blow. i had a decent mouse but replaced it.
