A low-quality ball can ruin the experience of using a trackball. Ball: A trackball should rotate smoothly, without gritty-feeling friction.(For more information, see Should you switch to a trackball? below.)Īlthough trackballs can help some people with some symptoms of repetitive stress injury, they can’t help everyone-we recommend consulting a doctor first if you’re considering a trackball for that reason.
We also have a budget pick-the Kensington Orbit Trackball Mouse with Scroll Ring-if you don’t mind sacrificing build quality and a couple of features for a more affordable trackball.įinger-operated trackballs with center-mounted balls work for both right- and left-handed people and encourage better wrist posture, while thumb-operated trackballs are more similar to traditional mice and therefore easier to get the hang of. After spending more than 120 hours testing eight trackballs during weeks of work, we found that the best trackballs are the finger-operated Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball and the thumb-operated Logitech Ergo M575. A trackball isn’t as accurate as a good-quality mouse, but it can be more precise than a trackpad for anyone looking to eliminate repetitive motion from mousing around too much.
