This looks very nice. Switching to a split keyboard (Kinesis Freestyle)[1] and a trackball placed in the middle of the split so I can use it with either hand (pic of my current setup [2]) was a complete game changer for my RSI problems. It hasn't eliminated it completely but I am managing much much better now.
My only complaint with the Freestyle is that it doesn't have mechanical switches but it's still quite pleasant to type on imo.

- DanielStraight 11y agoWhat trackball is that? Does it have scrolling capability?
- randlet 11y agoIt's a Kensington Orbit and yes it has a great (smooth) scroll wheel surrounding the entire trackball.
- melling 11y agoI have the Kensington Orbit and a Logitech Marble. While I love the scroll wheel on the Kensington, I find that the left button requires a bit more force than the Logitech when clicking. No such thing as a gaming trackball? http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/trackman-marble http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/trackman-marble
- randlet 11y agoInteresting. My one complaint about the Kensington is the buttons feel a little flimsy to me. Not sure I could live with that Logitech without a scroll wheel!
- digikata 11y agoI still miss the Logitech Marble FX (out of production) http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-TrackMan-Marble-FX-Trackball/dp/B00000JBUI http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-TrackMan-Marble-FX-Trackball/... But it would be a terrible 'center' trackball.
- semi-extrinsic 11y agoI use a Marble FX at home, they are wonderful. Hope it never breaks. At work I use an M570 which is also quite good (thumb-only trackball).
