Trackball recommendation

[dave-uk]

Having only just started in DCS, i've bought a Rift S. I'm thinking of buying a trackball, so i dont knock my pint over on the desk :) while blindly hunting for the mouse.

 

Looking for recommendations for a trackball please

I use a Logitech marble unit with my left hand (my stick is on the right side).

The marble does the job and it’s very usable. Never tried another unit type

are you holding the stick with your right or left hand?

if right hand then get this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/ELECOM-Left-handed-Wireless-function-M-XT4DRBK-Black/dp/B016QCPRBM/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=left+hand+trackball&qid=1578404319&sr=8-3

 

 

if left hand holding main stick then https://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Wireless-Mouse-Trackball-Windows/dp/B0042BBR2S/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=logitech+trackman&qid=1578404358&sr=8-1

I own both and they are very good

Thank Gent's

 

 

HC, i was a little confused lol, you had the hands used the wrong way round :)

[HC_Official]

no they are the correct way round, you dont want to take your primary hand off the stick when flying, so you use your none dominate hand for controlling the trackball eg you are right handed, get a left handed trackball

Thanks HC, yep im right handed Joysick in my right hand), its going to be strange using a trackball in my left hand, :)

Well, you do 90% of the movement with your view. Then you fine adjust with your "weak" side. Should adapt quickly, but... I would keep a mouse handy for main menu, options, mission editor ;)

you will get used to it quickly, I can use trackball in either left or right hands

[BitMaster]

I use the mouse left and right hand, what ever suits better for what I am doing. my preferred hand is left tho I am right handed, maybe just cuz of that, type/write right and mouse left ;)
