Is there a goonsensus on a good trackball mouse? Had some wrist pain and was advised to get either a trackball or a vertical mouse, and leaning towards trackball. Ideally want something with Bluetooth since it'll go between my work & personal computers. Mostly work & some light gaming, probably still use my regular mouse for anything FPSy. One I'm looking at is the MX Ergo Plus. https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-ERG...ps%2C233&sr=8-2 Not sure if something like that is best, or a more traditional trackball. No real budget since this will be a work thing, just can't be $tupid.

Catatron Prime posted:Absolutely--I converted to trackball in 2018 and it's been the best computer peripheral move I've made, even more so than an ortholinear split keyboard (ergodox & lily 58) What perfect timing. I'm actually about to return my MX Ergo Plus cause I was feeling it in my wrist still. I got used to it surprisingly quick, but I did use a handheld thumb trackball over a decade ago when I was commuting by train. I'll give that Deft Pro a try, definitely going to take longer to get used to that, but looks like it has everything I need.

pseudorandom name posted:The button switches in the MX Ergo (and presumably all Logitech products) suck poo poo and fail after two years; I'm using one right now and dragging with the left button is impossible because it stutters the entire time. I had the same experience with a G703, replaced the switches with Kailh and it's been great. Those stock switches are just straight up trash and it was hilarious to realize that same crap was on their pro tier mice as well. The Deft Pro has been fantastic, I didn't like the drag of the original ruby bearing balls so I replaced them with ceramics which are working well.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:Ive had a Logitech m575 for a year now, but it still regularly 'sticks'/'skids', even when the bearings seem perfectly clean. What's the best way to lube them up? (That's not face gunk) Can you replace the bearings? That did wonders for my Deft Pro for small moves. I don't Lube except for hand oil. Lube is kind if a grey area, since it'll be contacting your hand you have to have something skin safe, and the obvious option of Graphite is conductive and hard to apply precisely.

Shinjobi posted:I have an old wired mouse that double clicks instead of single clicks. Tends to go through in phases, but I'm kinda tired of dealing with it. I've tried cleaning it, blowing dust out of there, problem remains an on and off ongoing issue. Is this is a pretty good sign that it's time to put it out to pasture? That or replace the microswitch if you can solder. If it's like a $20 mouse definitely better to just buy a new one. If it's a decent Logitech mouse, there are plenty of guides for replacing the switches since they use off brand ones that tend to die early.

I just turn off Razerz software. It doesn't seem to be an issue without it and if there's any additional delay I don't notice it. This is a Deathadder V2 Pro so your mileage may vary. Edit: Only downside is I don't have a battery percentage, but I main a trackball now anyway and this is just for clicking faces.

Do you still have the G700? You can replace the switch if you want to learn how to solder. Logitech and Razer are both going extremely cheap on the switches they use. I just replace them with name brand switches when they start to go.

NihilCredo posted:The Elecom looks very interesting. I did not know they made ergonomic (asymmetric) finger balls; I thought the market was either Kensington-style square/symmetric designs, which I find awkward, or thumb balls. I'm coming up on a year with my Elecom Deft Pro and it's been fantastic. Swapped the bearings. I would recommend rechargeable batteries, it uses 1 AA and it doesn't seem to be super efficient, but I am using this for work and gaming.
