Finally, an active community for trackball enthusiasts!
No social media site can exist without a section dedicated to trackballs, the arguably superior input method.
The previous communities went stale, so here is my take on it. Looking forward to welcoming the tens of people interested in this topic!
You're viewing a single thread.
trackballs, the arguably superior input method.
It's not arguable, because it's true! The mouse mafia are just trying to give everyone Carpal Tunnel Syndrone. We must overthrown the waggly input hegemony and bring peace to desktops everywhere!
Ok, I'll settle down now.
Mouse for gaming and graphics, trackball for everything else. Why choose when you can have both?
Also a 3dConnexion space mouse is handy
Mouse for...graphics
If you're doing freehand drawing --- which I rarely do, but obviously many graphic artists care a lot about --- a stylus and tablet really beats the pants off a mouse. Try to sign your name with a mouse and a tablet in a graphics program, and it really drives home the difference.
That's before one even gets to graphics programs being able to use tilt- and pressure-sensitive stylus inputs to affect brushstrokes.
Agreed, for 2D graphics a tablet is the optimal choice. Most 3D suites are really optimized for mouse and keyboard, though.
