1/15/2025 - Due to new 2025 hazardous materials classifications with lithium batteries, we are no longer able to ship GameBall Thumb internationally. So, as of now, we can only ship GameBall Thumb to the United States and the United Kingdom. We are working on getting a warehouse setup in the EU to fulfill orders there but unsure how long this will take. We apologize for this change and will provide an update once we can ship GameBall Thumb to the EU. We are exploring options for Canada as well.

 

GameBall Thumb  is the world’s first thumb trackball mouse developed specifically for the computer gamer. We leveraged our learnings from the original GameBall and incorporated the gaming specific features wanted by the community.

Best Trackball Ever!!

Hands down the best trackball I've ever owned. Solid, quality construction, great settings options, and very ergonomic. Add to that the excellent customer service when there was a problem with the shipping (not Gameball's fault at all) makes this a great company to buy from. Special shout out to Eric A. for the great service and quick turnaround!

Thank you. Glad you like it.

Works great!

I bought two of the limited edition red ones, and thought I'd get a couple more of the regular ones too. They're great little trackballs, a good replacement for any Logitech Ergo users out there. I had a Logitech Ergo fail in a weird way - something was making it so that clicking on a foreground window somehow sent clicks to the window behind it. I haven't seen any behavior like that with the GameBall Thumb.

I think my only complaint is that the battery life on the limited edition ones was such that I had to charge it every week. I think the regular ones may have the same problem, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

I remember being able to program the buttons on my Logitech Ergo with some proprietary software. I switched over to Linux Mint and tried to get similar button programmability. There's Solaar that kinda works for Logitech devices, but if you can program your own buttons with xbindkeys, it's a little nicer solution IMO. Here's the xbindkeys config that I use FWIW:

Thank you for the review and feedback!

Superior options out there

Disappointing. Comfort and build quality are less than that of the MX Ergo that the Gameball Thumb copies. Plastic material of the body feels cheap. Superior polling rate, five (non-adjustable) precision presets, and slightly lower price give it some some use cases, but in general they do not make up for the quality and flexibility you give up not going with an alternative. Mine will set in a box as a tertiary backup.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We read all of these. Good or bad, we need to hear them, so thank you.

We do offer a 30 day money back guarntee in case you didn't know.

Thanks

Unbeatable thumb trackball in its price bracket

Both the comfort and the functionality of this trackball is excellent. Its plug and play on Linux. My only complaint is that the button to cut the DPI down is located too far back. I have to move my hand to press it. You won't find any other trackball which offers both tilt and a wide range of DPI settings for this price point, so if you're in the market for a thumb trackball, I can wholeheartedly recommend this one.

Thank you for the review. We apprecaite the feedback.

Still getting used to it but enjoying it a lot so far, back and forward buttons are super convenient for me and great dpi adjustments. Can’t wait for the gameball pro to release.
