Do you need a Trackball mouse? Why do PROS use them!

[@doctorhino8736]

I am a full time programmer and use the Kensington Expert Mouse. It has basically saved my wrist from carpel tunnel and constant pain by keeping my hand in one ergonomic position. They work basically the same as a trackpad when you get used to moving the ball. The technology is really not that much different than moving an optical mouse, except you manipulate the surface instead of using the surface to move. Highly recommend these for anyone with wrist pain.

[@domfjbrown75]

I've got RSI from being taught to touch type from 1983 (heavy old 'sit up and beg' typewriters originally so I type HARD). Been using a trackball since the very late 90s and it's helped a lot. If I need a mouse I can use one of those vertical mice, but much prefer trackballs!

[@nikthefix8918]

I switched to the Expert Mouse when it first came out. Never looked back. I've got 4 now. I had to do some dremel work on one which had a particularly 'gritty' scroll ring.

I am an engineer and i use it for 2D and 3D CAD. A couple of years ago i used logitech marble mouse, was ok too, but Kensington slim blade is a radical departures on everything i tried before. Heavy 55mm ball. I take the ball out each month and spray a shot of silicon fluid on it. It slides like steel on ice then :-)

[@penguinista]

Thanks for the silicon fluid trick. I'll try that.

[@aaaaaa2206]

I've read that the oil of your skin on your forehead and face works too. It seems healthier than touching silicone, because your skin absorbs it.

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Switched to a Kensington trackball - the Orbit with scroll-ring - and never going back! Before that I had been using a graphic tablet for years so no carpal issues at all but after rearranging my studio, it was taking too much space. It might take a while getting use to it but it is worth the while - your hands, arms and back will thank you.

[@SpryCheetah6]

The trackball is great for anyone working in IT too. Im still using the old logitech trackman marble and I love it.

[@xh0rsex]

I've been using a trackball for gaming for over 20 years, in both league play and non. I've played nearly all genres and once I used one, there was no comparison in how much more effective I was was compared to using a mouse, especially in fps games. If this device is good enough for that application, productivity is a no-brainer, which I also used it for with Reaper and Acid (rip)

[@MrHitomiplum]

Would love to hear more about this. When I was deep into computer games and FPS in the 90s trackballs were still a viable alternative to mice. Niche, but not an alien artifact like they are now. Even in videos where they are of the opinion that trackball mice are great for productivity and day-to-day use, the caveat tends to be "but not for gaming."

[@JozefHollyPiano]

Thank you Dom, nice video 👍 I was using trackball about 1 year, but after i change to Magic Trackpad 2. I must say, never touch the trackball again. For me as a piano player the Magic Trackpad is the best choice for me.

[@almaelectronix5167]

Actually I've tried Kensington trackballs and they haven't done so much of a difference for my wrist and arm. What did the difference was Logitech MX Ergo trackball. So much better controlling the movement with the thumb and don't have to raise your two fingers consistently to move the trackball which adds to arm and wrist strain. More the two fingers stay where they previously were with normal mice so you are more familiar with it too. I was so relaxed working with it on studio that I bought a send one for home. Much of a difference and good price, starting from 35€ for the simple ergo and 70€ for the pro.

Holy heck, I know this video is 4 years old as of this comment, but you just opened my eyes and blew my mind. Years ago my dad who worked an office job got us a trackball for our family Windows XP, and I didn't really like it for gaming but I made it work. Later I changed to a crazy traditional "gaming mouse" for my own PC, and began doing my own creative work. Nowadays, over 10 years later, my old gaming mouse is really starting to drive my hands crazy. So I decided to look up other mouse options. Now this whole video explains a programmable trackball with all these features, and my brain exploded when thinking of how I might be able to use this in Blender. Programming keyboard shortcuts, super accuracy, all that. Heck, something like this might just have been the better option for messing around in gaming after all too.

[@valleyken]

I'm ordering one. I love my Wacom pen for normal desktop navigation. But for editing tasks like in Cubase, I think a trackball will indeed have some great benefits. Thanks Dom for the tip.

It’s all a matter of tool preference, but I have always found a mouse the most precise form of input (see professional gamers) and as for speed the keyboard is king for me. There were several occasions where I had my mouse’s batteries die and kept working for a while solely with the keyboard.

[@rayzimmermin]

what is funny is people always say you need a mouse to play gams better but im always top of the leader boards and i primarily use a PS controller

[@infestedalien]

I got my Kensington Slimblade today and man was I surprised? This is the best trackball I've ever used. The precision is remarkable, the software is so deep and what's even cool is that the software is even more advanced than what you get for gaming mouses for example a profile per application totaly crazy! Not sure if I will always use this or combind this with a regular mouse but for the moment I do not want to use my normal computer mouse. A nice thing is that if you have many or wide monitors is that you can set in the software a temporary mouse speed that takes place while you hold down a modifier key example ctrl or shift or alt or you can do the oposite that mouse slows down during selected keypress. Also this can be set as a mouse button event to change speed temporary :) Now I want to give an advice back that is when it comes to keyboards check out the logitech G915 or G815 depending on wired or wireless preference. The wired is good with the USB-slot near you for memory or charge things while at table. However that keyboard is so good for cubase since you can set individual colors on the keys and also you have 5 macro buttons that can be switched in 3 profiles!

[@ohmnemusic1606]

Finally somebody made a video about this, It's funny because almost all my friends that come over to my studio bully me about my trackball mouse because they just can't use it and I laugh because they seem to be so confuse and dumb trying to click or scroll but for me it was so intuitive I literally plugged it in day 1 and I started using it like if I had had it for years and as you said it has a lot of benefits! thanks bro

[@Noisa]

I had a Kensington orbit for years, and I just ordered both the slimblade and the expert recently. I'm at odds with which to keep... The slimblade has a flatter design, superior scrolling and cursor movement in my opinion, but worse button action; the button sweet spot is weird to me. On the other hand, the expert has great buttons, looks like higher build quality, but has a janky scroll wheel that's scratchy and wobbly, and angles my wrist more than the slimblade. Ugh decision decisions. 🤔

I have a Kensington Expert but I never really got into it for editing, but I watched this last week and went straight on eBay and bought a Slimblade that's only been used for a couple of weeks. It arrived today and I'm going to stick with it this time till I'm as fast as I am with a mouse. Thanks.

[@uk.leonardosants]

Is Slimblade any better than Expert?

[@Scotlanz]

Yep. In my opinion anyway. It's a lower profile, you scroll by twisting the ball and the ball spins much smoother than the Expert.

[@penguinista]

An excellent video, as always. You make very good points efficiently. I used to use a trackball long ago and had not realized the benefit in sound editing applications. Just ordered one and will be setting it up like you do. Thank you!

[@Raggo12345]

Bought the Kensington SlimBlade Trackball, on your recommendations. Got it today. Looks very promising! Love the function to scroll by turning the ball clockwise/counterclockwise! It fits perfecly just next to the Zoom MRS1608, so I'm happy. Freeing up some space next to the keyboard as well. (I want to be a pro, too...) :D

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

espace: i use trackpad. And this ball looks comfortable but takes all the space, you can use only in one position (trackpad can be vertical) precision of playhead: use keyboard, set nudge by tick views: hold option and swipe fingers for zoom in, out, whatever mixer: a pro has second display for mixer or midi roll no? Or open with a letter like M. loop: ?, move selection by cycle lenght playing instruments: i use a track pad on the piano keyboard , you can place a trackpad everywhere cc: you can even use it for cc and automation, many times the best choice since you don’t have to learn midi every time ! precision: it is not precise for everything, but more than a mouse. For precision you should use inspectors, midi controller, or a mouse with a solid scroll button this looks good for mixers with big studios, not composers with small studios. Now i understand why i only see trackballss in these cases ;) trackpad can be better with some extensions or buttons , but is far superior than mouse if you compose music on keyboard/computer

[@laughingvampire7555]

you can always augment the acceleration of the pointer in a standard mouse and you will need a lot less space to use it.

[@LadyBovine]

Yeah, this thing about moving "so fast, and stress free" with a trackball, as if mice are slow, is just wrong. I measured how much i need to move my mouse to go from one end of the screen to the other, and it's not about 1cm (less than 1/2 inch). And that's my normal setting, which is very precise and comfortable. With a normal mouse I still use less space than that giant Kensington slimblade would take up. And i don't know what paper mice other people use, but mine (which weighs about 100 grams) never moves when I take my hand off it. These trackballs are still cool imo, but no need to invent problems :D

[@laughingvampire7555]

​@@LadyBovine yes, I have trackballs and I love them, can't go back to the regular mice when I'm working. I have a master mx 3, because it was my favorite mouse before and the scroll wheel is amazing. I also have a razer gaming mouse to play FPS, but trackballs work great with other games like colony simulators or even some aRPG.

[@therakshasan8547]

The Logitech M570 trackball mouse is the best for gaming for me. I have large hands . All other mice are way too small. [actually I need something bigger]. You control the ball with your thumb. This frees up all the other fingers to use the multiple buttons. Draw backs Logitech switches fail way too often. So much so that you will replace them under factory warranty every time. [The replacement warranty is only the remaining time on the original warranty time limit.]

[@ipoponq]

sry, bought mine after this review.. selling it now, after 2 months. Moving items and events with normal mouse is just much faster and more exact in my case, which overcomes all the points you've mentioned in the video. I'd recommend a trackball to someone who's trying to quit gaming and force oneself to work. For Cubase I'd suggest a mouse with a lot of programmable buttons.

[@rayzimmermin]

The reason why a lot of people into music may get pain in their wrists from using regular mousies is because a lot of people into music position their mouse in such a non ergonomic position, because their midi keyboard kinda is in the way of a good ergonomic positioning of the mouse. You need to sit up straight, with your upperwarm downards and your lower arm about in about a 90 agree angled compared to your upper arm. It's really not htat hard, but I see so many setups where the mouse is completely put on some random space somewhere, while you may use hte mouse more than the midi keyboard. I've just set my midi keyboard next to me, so that when I use the computer itself, I can position my mouse in a propher manner and do not get wrist pain. And I gotts say I'm phrone to get wrist/hand issues, since Ivé had them before when i was in the wrong postion.

[@ASH-ou4cg]

Interesting. You do bring up some really good points, about not having to worry about your cursor moving while placed and the short cuts are great to assign to the buttons too. I think I would personally replace your open mixer command, to open the lower zone in Cubase instead, but that is the beauty of being able to customize to the user. What I am worried about is the comfort and speed of moving around. I am VERY used to a regular mouse and don't find it slow, or fatiguing at all, to use. I am wondering just how fast and awkward these trackball mice would be to use, as I think they would be quite an adjustment. To top it off, aren't track ball mice going backwards? I swear we had these in the late 80s and early 90's as the norm.

I always used the logitech thumb trackball on my pro music making pc. It just works for making music because also when you scrub and scan through timeline the idea of doing this from a fixed point of refference gives you the feeling you have more grip on your workflow. This is in contrast with playing 3d games where it's exactly the other way around. I could never play 3d games with a controller or a trackball because it feels like moving the camera is more tangible if you can move the mouse around.

[@MathieuPrevot]

You picked my interest ! I usually work with a Wacom tablet (size L), which is a no brainer for graphical and design works (photoshop, solidworks), the precision is very high and can be increased dynamically, and you have pen pressure and tilt, and even pen rotation ! There is nothing better when one need high precision with non 100% horizontal or vertical movements, eg., with drawing a shape or writing. You also can have other pens such as the airbrush (pressure is associated to elevation). I use it also for regular desktop and cubase. Many button are programmable; but the size L of the surface can be a problem; maybe M and S are better if you have a crowded studio. I wonder how it would compare with the trackball for cubase !

@@DomSigalas - the link goes to another (splendid of course) video on creating the perfect mix. Do you have a video specifically on customizing the Kennsington for Cubase functions like you demonstrate here? That's what I thought you're saying at 6:27. For example - are these "key commands" or macros? Thanks - your friend / student / and fan - - Pete Radd

I guess I'm getting a trackball

Hey Dom, can you do a video about recording bfd drums with midi, routing out to separate tracks in cubase then mixing them with plugins & outboard please

[@DomSigalas]

Hi James, would love to do that but I don't have BFD! Would be the same philosophy with any multichannel drum instrument, so I will definitely arrange something like that!

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

But how did you set it up, @Dom Sigalas? I just got mine based on this video... But your menu shows labels which are apparently custom... So the problem is now, we have to know which keys are associated with the buttons you are pressing. Are they macros? If so, what are the macros? A tutorial would be SUPER awesome! Best wishes on a successful 2023.

i have 3 mice hooked up one is just a G502 mouse for gaming one is a MX ergo for productivity and one is a space mouse for CADing

Thanks for sharing! I've got the same model as you, been using it for 3 days, it's pretty cool, I like it, but i'm still slower than with a regular mouse. I suppose speed will come with time, as you said, there is a bit of a learning curve. I find notably tricky how to scroll up -- can you share what's your finger position when scrolling up? I've noticed you seem to put your index finger over the ball, I suppose to hold the cursor steady while you scroll?

So, how is it going with your experience using a trackball?

Awesome shirt! I used to own a C64....lol, and a Vic 20.

Thanks Dom, very nice features of the slim blade, seems a better tool than the expert. BTW 7:30 what is the name of the song? Its pretty cool

[@stephenalcaide1778]

Nah...tried one. Way too clumsy for me. Nothing will ever replace my Razer Mamba with my Razer Invicta mousepad for speed and precision.
