A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Believe it or not I had that and the logitech ones. The index/middle finger track ball is a bit less precise due to how our fingers are built and it's a pita to clean them for both the ball and the rolling axis and the housing(since it's a concave shape). Eventually I caved to the modern censor mouse since no cleaning is required. (well, except those pads adhesive attracting dust etc. )

Yep I’ll definitely going to build one some day but I already have a bit too much trackballs for it to be sane.
