Replacement mouse

Renee

I have had a 'Microsoft USB Trackball Explorer' for years, ever since they came out. Love it.

Can you say what mouse I should look at that works along the same lines as the Trackball.

Thanks

I always throw google shopping into the mix when checking my options. I don't of necessity buy from amongst the results..

A mouse is not a trackball so you wont find one that works along those lines ..


Just google trackball and pick one that suits your needs !!

Or goto PC World/Currys and see if Kensington's version is any good...

The best trackball I've come across is the Logitech Marble Mouse. Despite the contradictory name, it's a trackball rather than a mouse. It's been sold under two different names. I think it used to be called something like the Logitech Trackman Marble. Have a quick search. I wouldn't use anything else now - my RSI has virtually disappeared since I got one.

I have been using this trackball for several years now.

I was on my phone before, so couldn't easily search, but here's a link to the Logitech Marble Mouse (aka Trackman Marble):

It's £40 on Amazon.

One of the great things about it is that (unlike a mouse) it's easy to use with your non-dominant hand, and its shape means you can vary your hand position somewhat, all very good if you're trying to relieve RSI.

what is wrong with the one you have.

my mouse(from the easycall set no longer available) was having problems tracking and jumping and the wheel/buttons were not smooth, a complete dismantle and clean sorted it.

detritus and hair were interfering with the smooth operation and the tracking sensors.

I've always taken the trackball out & cleaned it. I think that the area the ball sits in is wearing down and isn't quite as responsive as it used to be.

Also, often a collection of dust accumulates around the tiny little rollers.
