| I hate to give specific product recommendations because it is very shill-like but: "ELECOM Relacon Handheld Trackball Mouse." [0] So table-top trackball mice aren't uncommon, and they often come up in these discussions just like "joystick"/Vertical grip mice. I've used both. The main problem with table-top trackball or vertical mice is that they keep your arm and most of your wrist in a similar position only offering mild mitigation. Where the Relacon shines is that you can keep your hands by the side of your body, and you can use it while standing using a standing desk. It is a completely different body position than a traditional mouse and because it is so different my body feels like I get actual time to HEAL rather than just delaying symptoms. Like most trackballs it will take you a couple of days to be fully productive with it, and you might need to adjust the speed. In terms of what buttons it has onboard it is fantastic: Browser Back/Forward, a fully functional scroll wheel (inc. click), media keys, and oversized L/R. I will add that the battery-compartment cover does indeed suck and the stand isn't anything. But otherwise, it is great, and batteries last for months. I'd buy another if it broke tomorrow. The only other pro-tip I have is: Learn to use your mouse with your non-dominant hand. Then keep switching back and forward every week. It took a while as a righty to use it with my left hand, but now I can switch whenever I wish. YMMV. PS - And other Handheld Trackball mice exist, you just have to sacrifice something (e.g. no scroll wheel, no back/forward buttons, etc) or the trackball is in a really unnaturally placed. I don't feel like I'm trading anything to use the Relacon. [0] https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GSCC8RX |
