Balle de jeu pouce

Product is amazing, super accurate and crazy comfortable

I'm coming from using a Logitech MX Ergo for the past decade or so, specifically as a couch mouse with my laptop. I miss the multipoint connection and being able to use it for my desktop across the room without getting up, but I can live with that. The ball itself is nicer to use than the Logitech, and I like the lighter click on the buttons. I'm happy that there are so many DPI settings, because my preference (around 1200) is actually an option.

The scroll wheel, though, has a variety of quirks that I don't like. The rubber was weirdly sticky and kind of unpleasant to touch out of the box, though that's getting a little better with use. The scrolling feel is different than the Logitech, with a wider-feeling bump and a little less tactility. But the scrolling accuracy is better (I don't ever have to double scroll to get one click of movement).

The thing that really bothers me about the scroll wheel is that it is completely vertical when the mouse is flat, whereas the buttons are slanted next to it. When I then tilt the mouse to 20 degrees on its base, the scroll wheel feels very awkward. Whether I'm using my index or middle finger, I end up on the right half of the scroll wheel, sometimes even off the rubber onto the steel edge. The angle also causes clicking the wheel to feel like it's going back toward the left button rather than up and down. I wish it was set at the same angle as the buttons it sits between instead, especially because I always use it slanted.

The one other thing that doesn't bother me but might bother some people is there is already a distinctive worn mark where my index finger sits on the left mouse button, and faint but growing marks where I rest on the right mouse button and where I rest my palm as well. I like it; it makes the mouse look loved. But if you like a mouse that stays pristine, this probably isn't it.

works smooth and being able to change the angle of helps with my wrist. love using it more than my g502 gaming mouse

Great mouse. Coming from a logitech mxergo, would recommend this any day. Almost zero stiction and polls well

I have been looking for a thumb style trackball mouse to replace my Logitech MX Ergo. The Logitech mouse only lasts about a year and the microswitches for the left and right buttons start to malfunction. I was hoping for a good, solid replacement for this mouse. The GameBall Thumb is an okay mouse, however compared with the Logitech it feels very cheaply made. The trackball "sticks" occasionally and does not have the smooth gliding motion of the Logitech. It is bluetooth capable, but only with a dongle, which defeats the purpose of having a bluetooth mouse to free up USB ports. It is an okay mouse, but unfortunately it does not feel as nice as the Logitech.

I also compared this with the Kensington TB550 and found the GameBall to be a much better mouse. If you're looking for a decent trackball gaming mouse cheaper than the Logitech, but with better functionality than the Kensington then this may be the mouse for you. Unfortunately for me this mouse does not feel as nice as the more expensive Logitech.
