Reddit mentions of Kensington Expert Wireless Trackball Mouse (K72359WW)

• Where: https://diablo.rivsoft.net
  
  
• How: Diablo 1's source code was recently reverse-engineered, and now the game is available to play on a web browser. Cue iPadOS 13's desktop-class Safari.
  
  
• Req: You need both a mouse & a keyboard, of course.Thankfully, I switched to the wireless lifestyle awhile ago. You also need the data file from the game, either from your own copy or the limited shareware version.

I've got a Project Zen V1 from rgbkb.net with a case I designed myself. Trackball is a Kensington expert. I am all in on ergodox-style boards, it's just enough keys to let me do what I want to do

This is what I run at work https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Expert-Trackball-Mouse-K64325/dp/B01936N73I?th=1

Been using this for many years: https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Expert-Wireless-Trackball-K72359WW/dp/B01936N73I

ugh, why the thumb trackball? From my experience, they're less precise and a bit more fatiguing on my hand than something like a regular trackball mouse.

Add some programmable buttons like the Kensington Pro and make it a finger-operated trackball; I'd gobble that up.

They now have a bluetooth version,

I had a hard time getting my apple trackpad to work well with Linux, this thing rocks on both OS X and Arch

Personally, I found that I tend to consume media - read, watch, listen, click through links, etc - whenever I was away from a desk/table/counter/whatever with my last laptop.

I find that when I need to work or play I'm usually at some sort of sensible horizontal surface.

So, for me, the SP4 made perfect sense. I hate laptop keyboards with an intensity that makes other people uncomfortable and hate touchpads even more - so I use my SP4 with a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard and a Bluetooth trackball and I couldn't be happier. <3

Well, actually, my next KB will be a 60% BT, but whatever. The point is, I never seem to miss my keyboard when I'm away from it and my usage habits seem pretty typical to me from conversations with other people.

If his left hand is at or near 100%, I'd definitely recommend a trackball. It doesn't have to be that toy-like one, you can get relatively large trackballs that look professional: https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Expert-Wireless-Trackball-K72359WW/dp/B01936N73I/ref=lp_172499_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1542739066&sr=1-3

I've found trackballs are relatively easy to use with your off-hand, so hopefully he won't have too much trouble adapting to it.

What about all of the games that use mouse only? There are great trackballs that work well for people with disabilities.

• BIGtrack Trackball (can be expanded with large buttons for feet or palms)
  
• Kensington Expert
  
• Kensington Slingblade

So if I might piggy back on your question and maybe turn it into a suggestion, on the use of a trackball, could you buy I think what they call a 3D Mouse, the ones with the big trackballs on the outside, and somehow rig that to work with the machine for the games that require the trackballs? I'm not entirely sure if the details in how that would work, as I'm new to the arcade cabinet scene, but I figured it couldn't hurt to recommend it and see what you would think for that. I used one through a PC of course but with MAME.

Edit: To specify be able to use the mouse efficiently and comfortably.
Edit Again: Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Expert-Wireless-Trackball-K72359WW/dp/B01936N73I/ref=zg_bs_172499_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=96BHRSX594XDWHF5NM8H

Has anyone here used this one? I've considered picking it up.

edit: the scroll wheel interests me...

I actually used that one for a while and had to stop using it because it was putting a lot of stress on my thumb and causing me new pain. I like ones like the Kensignton Expert but it does take some time to get used to. It did take a while to heal up with that through. And although I can't speak to your particular case of RSI my biggest helpers in relieving my pain was through chiropractic care and trigger-point massage.
