[16:32] <charlie-tca> Anyone got experience with trackballs? What seems to work best for hands that only work part time?
[16:33] <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
[16:34] <charlie-tca> Mouse is hard to use, fingers don't bend well
[16:35] <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
[16:36] <maco> i think the marble is the only one ive used, sorry
[16:36] <charlie-tca> no problem
[16:37] <charlie-tca> appreciate any comments
[16:37]  * Cheri703 is checking scrollback
[16:38] <Cheri703> chalcedony was getting the Logitech Trackball M570 set up for her husband...I believe they got it working?
[16:40] <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)
[16:41] <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
[16:43] <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
[16:44] <Cheri703> http://www.evoluent.com/ this is the primary vertical mouse brand out there
[16:49] <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
[16:50] <charlie-tca> I really do appreciative all suggestions on this. I at least look at all of the stuff.
[16:51] <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.
[17:24] <MrChrisDruif> I started on creating a vertical-mouse the other day...
[17:25] <MrChrisDruif> Still have to tidy it up/finish it :P
[17:53] <maco> Cheri703: annalee has one of those. she says its a lefthanded keyboard
[17:53] <Cheri703> entirely possible
