| charlie-tca | Anyone got experience with trackballs? What seems to work best for hands that only work part time? | 16:32 |
|---|---|---|
| maco | are you looking for a trackball model? | 16:33 |
| charlie-tca | model, brand, whatever works well. Tried the logitech trackball marble, the ball is a bit small | 16:33 |
| charlie-tca | ione mechanical is stiff, with a good size ball in it | 16:33 |
| charlie-tca | Mouse is hard to use, fingers don't bend well | 16:34 |
| charlie-tca | Now thinking about the kensington K64325, but they are a bit high priced if they aren't really good! | 16:35 |
| Cheri703 | someone in u-w was talking about a trackball the other day | 16:35 |
| maco | i think the marble is the only one ive used, sorry | 16:36 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 16:36 |
| charlie-tca | appreciate any comments | 16:37 |
| * Cheri703 is checking scrollback | 16:37 | |
| Cheri703 | chalcedony was getting the Logitech Trackball M570 set up for her husband...I believe they got it working? | 16:38 |
| Cheri703 | I have been interested in some of the vertical mice charlie-tca, have you looked at those? I'd think they'd help if there were grip problems (my hands cramp up easily and vertical wrist is more comfortable than horizontal) | 16:40 |
| charlie-tca | Haven't looked into them. | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | Not sure how they would work with weak arms, though | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | I will check on them | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | Got to have pretty good thumbs for the M570, I think | 16:43 |
| Cheri703 | I just mentioned it since it was a trackball :) I haven't ever used one for more than a few minutes | 16:43 |
| Cheri703 | http://www.evoluent.com/ this is the primary vertical mouse brand out there | 16:44 |
| Cheri703 | huh, interesting, they also have a keyboard with the num pad on the left, so the distance between typing hand and mouse hand is less | 16:49 |
| charlie-tca | I really do appreciative all suggestions on this. I at least look at all of the stuff. | 16:50 |
| charlie-tca | I just tried the thumb trackballs already, and they don't work so good for me. I know they are great for a lot of people though. | 16:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | I started on creating a vertical-mouse the other day... | 17:24 |
| MrChrisDruif | Still have to tidy it up/finish it :P | 17:25 |
| maco | Cheri703: annalee has one of those. she says its a lefthanded keyboard | 17:53 |
| Cheri703 | entirely possible | 17:53 |
