Who's using trackball here instead a mouse? - GoFuckYourself.com

Theo · 09-22-2006, 05:46 AM

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

thanks

martinsc · 09-22-2006, 05:51 AM

i tried it once, but never got used to it... and believe me, i have tried...

webcrawler · 09-22-2006, 05:55 AM

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.

Theo · 09-22-2006, 05:57 AM

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?

SomeCreep · 09-22-2006, 05:58 AM

Lol @ trackball. No way.

webcrawler · 09-22-2006, 06:07 AM

An old one but perfectly serves its purpose.

E$_manager · 09-22-2006, 06:08 AM

No i don't.
I used touchpad for some time and i got used to it. But mouse is the most comfortable for me.

viki · 09-22-2006, 06:09 AM

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

chupachups · 09-22-2006, 06:13 AM

notabook · 09-22-2006, 06:18 AM

Trackballs are fucking retarded lmao... better than those touchpads but still retarded as fuck.

Juilan · 09-22-2006, 06:19 AM

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

donross · 09-22-2006, 06:20 AM

no way... i've tried it before.. it really difficult to use..

.. get yourself a proper mouse.

escorpio · 09-22-2006, 06:21 AM

Love my trackball.

Spunky · 09-22-2006, 06:23 AM

Once you get used to it it's awesome.Had a cordless trackman for about 3 years

pawsregd · 09-22-2006, 06:33 AM

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.

Theo · 09-22-2006, 06:49 AM

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.

E$_manager · 09-22-2006, 07:09 AM

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

Klen · 09-22-2006, 07:11 AM

Trackball suck.Dont use it.

cyberstar · 09-22-2006, 07:26 AM

never worked for me

Sosa · 09-22-2006, 08:18 AM

I can't stand using a trackball

Wiggles · 09-22-2006, 09:51 AM

god i fucking hate those, can't believe people still use them.

NinjaSteve · 09-22-2006, 10:18 AM

i don't used track ball

sumphatpimp · 09-22-2006, 10:26 AM

foot pedals are much better.

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.

squishypimp · 09-23-2006, 04:50 PM

too hard to use, good old mouse is fine by me.

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.

scottybuzz · 09-23-2006, 06:28 PM

never knew they existed!

PornMagnifico · 09-23-2006, 08:28 PM

Forget Mice. They _WILL_ give you carpal tunnel syndrome which is very painful.

I was getting early signs of CPT about 5 years ago and switched to one of these.

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.

Only get Wacom - they are the best.

Also - for photoshop nothing compares.
