A community for people using or interested in using trackballs, the arguably superior input device.

I've been rocking the Kensington Orbit wired for years now and I've yet to find a better trackball.

Reasons:

  • works for both hands
  • scroll ring
  • big ball
  • wired
  • works reliably

I use the trackball with my left hand and a mouse with my right.

It seems like such a cheaply made product, but it just works so very, very well.

I'm not sure how old this community is, but I just started seeing it today. I feel like it, and this post in particular, were made for me. I've never enjoyed anything but the Orbit.

As of now, this community is about 4 hours old. Welcome aboard!

I'm grateful for its existence. Lemmy is the only place I've found anything but derision for trackballs.
