A Ploopy trackball - they're the best although I do kind of want a wireless one as well.
- ntietz 2y agoThe bearings are sooooo satisfying. I would also love to have a wireless one.
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoI'm really tempted to get another one for use with my laptop, but I'm currently using a left-handed Elecom trackball that is wireless - it's fine, but not the sheer luxury of a Ploopy.
- ntietz 2y agoooh that's a good idea. I have wanted something wireless to make it more convenient to do supine computing, so that could be just the ticket. and cheers to another lefty mouse user!
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoI feel like an imposter as I'm right handed, but taught myself to use a mouse/trackball left handed for better ergonomics.
- lawn 2y agoI don't want a trackball for my thumb but for my fingers.
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoMost of the Ploopy trackballs are designed for fingering(!). The one shown in the article looks to me like the Adept model which I have too and is not a thumb-designed one. (My Elecom left-handed wireless trackball on the other hand is a thumb-oriented one. They take more getting used to as thumbs aren't quite as dextrous)
- lawn 2y agoOh, that's neat! For some reason I thought they only had a thumb variant...
- eschneider 2y agoGreat build! And I've been looking for something like the Ploopy trackball for -ages_. :)
