GameBall

It’s a ball that games.

I have yet to receive my gameball, it is stuck at customs for some reason and apparently according to your site that’s not your problem. I have never had an issue with international shipping passing customs on any item I have ordered before so this is extremely disappointing

As for the title, the only thing that bothers me is the top buttons.

Switching from a Elecom huge with a mushy and unresponsive scroll wheel and a 125hz polling rate to this is a somewhat freeing feeling. I didn't look up much about this trackball before purchase, other than the polling rate, but once the scroll wheel on my old one became unbearable I bit the bullet and tried this out, mainly for it being (the only?) fingertip trackball with a 1000hz polling rate.

I have enjoyed the month I've spent with my gameball more than the year I spent with my huge. I was weary of the comfort with it being a ambidextrous design, but honestly with my wide hands, it feels way more comfortable than the Elecom. It gets my hand in a more ergonomic state and with a bonus that if I wanted to, I could use it with my left hand as well.

But compared to the huge, the buttons feel quite weighty and somewhat harder to press. Left click and forward button feel fine to me, but the bigger right click and back button feel a tiny bit too hard to press. Maybe it's the size of the buttons or the placement of the switch compared to where I'm pressing (I haven't looked inside yet).

Getting used to the trackpad style scrolling didn't take much time, but the position is a bit weird coming from a mouse with the scroll on the thumb. I constantly kept "right clicking" on the scroll in game and accidentally scrolled instead, but I believe this habit will die out once I've used it long enough. Also the separation of middle mouse button form the scroll is fantastic and I hope everyone who makes computer mice takes inspiration from that idea.

Final compliment, the movement of the ball is very smooth compared to the competition. Looking forward to seeing what the pro model ends up being like!

The gameball isn't bad, I really enjoyed it, but the lack of precision got to me so I just swapped back to a mouse. I know I can use precision mode, but even using that got annoying.
