On my unit, I measured the ball at 2.17" dia. and 4 oz. It spins easily
and has the right amount of momentum to get across the screen easily
but not feel too heavy. One flick of my finger easily sends the cursor
from one corner of the screen to the other while still retaining good
control for fine work. I'm not a gamer and don't know how it compares
to arcade trackballs, but I like it much better than a mouse for
general and CAD work. It's smooth and easy to use. It also has a scroll
ring around the ball that's better than those on mice because it's a
lot bigger and your fingers are right there already. You could probably
check it out at Fry's before you buy. They have it online at
http://shop2.frys.com/product/3869627;jsessionid=uUvd-6URFlFHozy4QbjPlA**.node2?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG as item #3869627. I should write an ad for these guys. BTW, I mentioned using a wrist cushion with it before, but forgot to mention that I put it on top of the dinky wrist pad that the trackball comes with. Together they come up to a good height for me. (I made a little cardboard fence about 1" high around them to keep the cushion in place.)

I need something that can spin well for trackball games. Think this would be suitable? :)-bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech |
