Which trackball did you use? I have tried almost every different kind of ergonomic keyboard / mouse alleviate my pain, but I haven't tried trackballs yet.

- robotmay 6y agoI have a Logitech MX Ergo which I quite like, which is a thumb trackball. I'm not sure how that compares to finger-trackballs though as I've never owned one, but a few friends have things like the Kensington one and like it a lot.
- Xevi 6y agoAlright, thanks. I've looked at that mouse before but I'm afraid that the ball will wear out my thumb even more. Maybe it's worth a shot though, or maybe I should go for one of those Kensington trackballs that you use your whole hand with.
- robotmay 6y agoYeah it’s a shame they’re all quite expensive really and thus quite hard to try a few different ones longer term. A vertical mouse might also be worth investigating perhaps? One thing I like about the MX Ergo is that it’s very easy to use reclined with it on your chest, which sounds odd but can be good when you’re just clicking about.
- retzkek 6y agoThe Logitech M570 and new M575 are a cheaper way to try out a thumb trackball. I've been using an M570 for a couple years, quite happy with it, except that I've found it needs to be put on a 20-30 degree wedge to reduce wrist strain (the Ergo MX has this built in).
