So good

I've been gaming with thumb ball move since the 1990s, and these are so good I've already bought two. Probably buying a third, possibly a fourth.

Thank you for the review.
Glad you like it.

Great feel and smooth control

Almost all of my other trackballs stutter their cursor across the screen with a low polling rate (150-250/src depending) even though they feel good in the hand physically.

The Thumb has a curve similar to other thumb trackballs which is good, it feels familiar. The lights around the ball cup are fun and it looks nice on the desk.
It uses a standard 34mm ball so you can replace it with a bunch of after-market styles and colors.

The static friction is decent. It's not zero, but it's as smooth as other non-modded trackballs I have. moving friction is very good, it feels very smooth. On both wired and using the dongle, polling rate feels VERY smooth, like a gaming mouse.

Overall I think this is a good deal and feels close to the Ergo MX or similar "premium" trackballs with better polling for a much better price.

Thank you fur the support and taking the time for the review.
I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks

It's okay.

The ball it comes with is not great, I got mine replaced with a different one and it was much better. The light is pretty annoying, I wish I could just leave it on all the time. I know the point of it is you're supposed to have no software but honestly I'd tank the software just so I can change the light settings. I like the adjustable base which in my eyes is the best part about it. Not as smooth as I hoped for to be honest. It's just, okay. Decent for its price but I wish it was a bit more premium, expecially the ball.

Hello Kyle,

I am sorry you didn't have a great experience with the thumb. You can turn off the RGB lights by holding the RGB button down for 3 seconds. If you think the ball or unit is defective, let me know and we can swap it out for you.

Thanks
Eric

Started with one, now have three.

Was looking for an upgrade to usual trackball and picked up one of these since it was in the same price range. The choice of wired and wireless is really nice and the ability to change precision is great. If you prefer trackballs, this one is recommended.

Thank you for the support and feedback. It is very appreciated.
Eric
