    Who's using trackball here instead a mouse?

    which brand/model? How long did it take to get used to it?

      I was using this for a week but reverted to my old one.
      The scroll wheel proved to be much useful specially when moving the page up/down.

        webcrawler,i just got this one. It has no scroll wheel as you said which is annoying,but you can program a button to do it. I have a microsoft one too,but the ball on the left part and i cant get used to it at all. Do you have pic of the one you use now?

              I used touchpad for some time and i got used to it. But mouse is the most comfortable for me.

                I considered getting one of these but I think I might want to rip my thumb off after a day:

                      Tried it for a while but no way could I get used to doing design or photochops with it. Great for Centipede though!

                                I use the Microsoft one and it rocks. It took me a day or 2 to get use to it and I would never go back to a "normal" mouse. It is so much easier on your wrist and forearm when you're spending 8 hours+ a day on the puter

                                  The mouse is a flawed design that caught on. It's retarded to have a thing you drag all over your desk like a toy car (but call it a "mouse" because see, this cord is like a tail!). I can't believe turning the fucking thing upside down and using your fingers to move the ball wasn't suggested much earlier in the game.

                                    i used to work with a trackball years ago when first appeared and it was very comfortable. Using mouse for some time now and I see my wrist is not in good condition.

                                      You can always relearn. I thought that touch pad is impossible to use, but it took me one day. The same about trackball.

                                                  foot pedals are much better.
                                                  get the kind where the toes are programable.

                                                          Lol, I guess you never learnt how to use it properly. If you are not a gamer or anything, its def the best thing to use.

                                                              I have been using these since 2001. It's the best. I find that after using it a regular mouse feels very inefficient.

                                                              You get used to the ball within a week. Trust me, you will never want to use a regular mouse again.

It's retarded to have a thing you drag all over your desk like a toy car (but call it a "mouse" because see, this cord is like a tail!). I can't believe turning the fucking thing upside down and using your fingers to move the ball wasn't suggested much earlier in the game.

                                                                      Think about it - you have been using a pen since about 5 years old - so using one of these puts no stress on your hand / wrist that you are not used to.

                                                                      Also - no "double click" as you can programm the button on the side to be a double click when just pressed once.

                                                                      This is THE best thing you can do to improve your computing comfort. Allow 2-3 days to get used to it and thank me later.
