  So use KB+M?

  You heard the him, boys, cancel your orders, you are doing wrong.

  For FPS games, I’d rank it Mouse>Finger Trackball>Gyro Aim>Thumb Trackball/Trackpads>>Thumbstick

  So yeah, if mouse+kb is available, use that. But that’s not a good option on my living room couch.

    Ever tried one of these? Putting thumb trackball together with trackpads is a bit much lol

      I have actually, I tried using a thumb ball for awhile before swapping to a 52mm fingerball.

      Felt like the ball was too small and my thumb lacked the precision to make it a good alternative to a regular mouse. Your mouse looks to have a larger thumb ball than the one I was using, which would help but wouldn’t be enough. To be honest, I prefer the deck trackpads to that thumb ball mouse I was using.

        I’m biased, as I’ve used thumb trackballs since the 90s (did also use regular mice and trackpads). There isn’t a lot of choice in trackballs nowadays when it comes to the big names, but there are few little known brands that still provide solid choices for gaming.

        Even newbies to both, within hours thumb trackball should be superior to a trackpad imo though.
