  How is trackball? I wasn’t sure how easily layering would work giving up easy access to half the thumb cluster.

    Sadly I couldn’t get a bearing/ball mix that wouldn’t feel “gritty”.

    Otherwise the hand position is nice and layering is easy to use even with the ball. Overall nice to use and great setup for CAD software.

      Tried ball transfer units?

      I’ve found Ruby balls ok sometimes but BTUs are where it’s at. Expensive though.
