Whilst ergonomic solutions to RSI is generally a personal thing as people may find different solutions more or less comfortable compared to other people, this is just a quick guide / review to point out the good and bad bits of the following trackballs:
kensington expert mouse - mechanical + forward/back buttons - big / chunky + big ball means it seems much more precise and controlable compared to the others. still get RSI from too much use.
kensington orbit elite - mechanical + glowing blue ball - small/wobbly on desk - brand new and wheel sometimes seems to stick. Not recommended, doesn't work properly after very little use.
general negative points about kensington: kensington's american website has much more up to date versions of the trackballs compared to the uk/europe version. (ie. optical version of the orbit elite, plus a redesigned more ergonomic version of the 'expert mouse').
logitech marble mouse + optical + forward / back buttons - can still get gunked up with dirt thus slowing down the ball, even though it's optical. Definitely my favourite. Recommended.
microsoft trackball optical + optical + glowing red ball - uses the thumb / seems least controlable / precise out of all of them - seemed to make rsi worse in my thumb.
New Link: zero tension mouse.
