I prefer the ergonomics of a
How does using a trackball feel? Ive been thinking about maybe getting one but I mostly like my mouse.
Does it feel more ergonomic or is it mostly just less distance to the mouse?
A large trackball like the Kensington Expert can both move quickly across multiple 4K monitors and precisely point to a specific location.
By holding down a button, the trackball can also double as a scrollwheel.
The ergonomics don’t matter to me a lot because I don’t use it a lot. But I love the fast and precise movement.
As the trackball gets smaller, you have to choose between fast OR precise. Some smaller trackballs deal with that by having a toggle button so you can switch between fast or precise movements on the fly.

I hear they are popular with audio engineers who like the speed, precision and minimal desk space requirements.
