Never tried a finger ball to be honest. But I own a few thumb balls that I use every day all day at work. I also 3d printed risers for them that make them vertical
It’s wild to me how uncommon thumb trackballs are. I cannot use a finger one. But a thumb one? Better than any input method I’ve ever tried.
I find them far more common than finger balls. I mean I can get a thumb trackball in most any store with electronics. Finger ball is something I've only seen online.
Who do you know that is out there repping them?
