1BRAVO9 Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 About 6 months or so ago I started a thread about how I used a trackball when playing flight sims and how they are more ergonomic when using a HOTAS. As I stated then I have been using a trackball for general PC use for more than 20 years, and I had even tried using them for gaming. Honestly, I was surprised how many members of the forum were saying the used one as well. Now I have been thinking about the next step. I'm always trying to find ways to improve my experience and make my HOTAS and input set more intuitive. That being said I've thought about using a handheld trackball mouse. Something like this: I'm always having to reach to use the "real estate" that my trackball sits on. This gets me out of position and makes it harder to control my HOTAS. Most importantly, it get my head tracker out of position and I'm sometimes left with a skewed view. I'm thinking this may really help, as I won't have to alter my body position and I will not have to rely on a surface to rest the trackball on. Anyone tried anything similar to this? Will it be as helpful as I'm thinking? Please share any experience you have . Thanks. 1
