I prefer thumb flicks, like on controllers, compared to mouse movement.
I definitely prefer trackballs to mice, but you do need to find the right one to suit your hand size, shale and your prefered way of using them. I prefer to use my first finger, rather than thumb and was wondering why so many are designed for thumb, but I think you’ve just answered my question by comparing them to controllers.
The slightly awkward thing with trackballs in general is the ball. You’re going back to the good old days of a physical ball with dust and general gunk getting stuck on the bearings. They’re easy to clean, but compared to optical mice it can be annoying.
