Not yet. I'm thinking about getting something like the Kensington Slimblade

u/danhm · 2 pointsr/pcgaming

You can get a Logitech M570 pretty much anywhere they sell mice, including stores like Target or Staples. Amazon has refurbished ones for about $20. That's a "thumb-style" which means you'll be using your thumb to drive the ball. There are also finger-styles like the Logitech Trackman or the Kensington Orbit. I'm currently using and liking a Kensington Slimblade but at $85 it might be a bit steep for someone who might not even like this particular input method.

Stop by /r/Trackballs for more detailed suggestions and discussion. There are dozens of us!

I've only used finger controlled ones myself, because i don't like the idea of just using my thumb, and I'm not a gamer. I started out with the kensington orbit optical, and I recently upgraded to the kensington slimblade. I've been extremely happy with both.

What about all of the games that use mouse only? There are great trackballs that work well for people with disabilities.

Not wireless, but you can get a Kensignton Slimblade under $50 if you purchase it at the Amazon warehouse.

I bought mine there for $40 not long ago. It was supposedly scratched (very good condition), but from what I could tell the box was just slightly scuffed up. Works as good as new.

[this one](http://Kensington SlimBlade Trackball Mouse (K72327U) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MTE32Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZZz3DbZHP9SBY) is my current, I love the shit out if it but I need a new mouse for my new cad machine and I think this is the winner, thanks op

Try it. As a lefty mouser, I’ve found Kensington’s big trackballs (especially the Trackball Pro) to be indispensable.

I appreciate the offer, but I doubt I will have the time anywhere in the near future to dedicate to building one.

I love your trackball suggestion though, this one looks pretty good and seems to come with a software that looks like it could be used to disable all the clicking areas: https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-SlimBlade-Trackball-Mouse-K72327U/dp/B001MTE32Y

Only issue is what I would do for the mouse buttons. Any suggestions in that regard? Ideally I would be able to have the same left, right, back, and forward buttons I have on my current mouse, but most solutions I see online are only single or paired pedals (and priced kinda ridiculously tbh).

As I was typing this I realized another issue, what to do about a scroll wheel? I make heavy use of the scroll wheel, but I cannot see myself replication the action with my foot or toes... Maybe some kind of toggle to switch the trackball to a scroll wheel? Maybe a second track ball for the other foot? Would still be less than ideal since I make frequent use of the click action of a scroll wheel, but maybe I can rig that action to my keyboard using Auto hotkeys.

I have the slimblade and my brother has the expert and I much prefer the slimblade. It has a very low angle and doesn't require you to bend your wrist up (but that also depends on your set up, posture...).

I like the larger buttons on the slimblade and that the scrolling is built into the ball. But some people prefer the distinct buttons and the scroll ring on the expert.

I'm glad I chose the slim blade, but the premium for it may not be worth it for you.

Kensington Slimblade Trackball USB 2.0 for PC and Mac, K72327US by Kensington

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MTE32Y/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_5q9htb181B7EQ

Hands down the best $90 I've ever spent.

u/ieya404 · -2 pointsr/Trackballs

So, right now, these are £95.31 on amazon.co.uk.

And then amazingly this amazon.com deal will ship to the UK; $39.95 + $17.65 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to United Kingdom, which translates to about £40.65.

That's... quite a saving! Thanks for posting. :)

edit: it appears that they in fact managed to run out of stock between my adding the item to basket, and hitting check out... poor tactical timing on my part it seems!
