Finally got a L-Trac

1 Upvotes

And I did not like it, unfortunately.

The annoying thing about trackballs is that I generally know within 15 minutes if it will work for me.

But I can't try it until I buy it.

The biggest issue for me was the scroll wheel. (I read about this but didn't quite understand until I tried it). The scroll feeling is quite good, but it is too far away for me.

Anyway, had to scratch this itch.

Nape Pro next?

What is the best subreddit to sell a used L-Trac? :)

Only use ONE trackball for the rest of your life, what is your choice?

5 Upvotes

Just one trackball to use for the rest of your life, across any desk and any setup. What’s your pick?

Mine is Endgame.

I strongly prefer finger-operated trackballs featuring a large ball over thumb-style designs.

What would be your ultimate "desert island" trackball, and why?

Full and comprehensive review: absolutely splendid device, well worth waiting for! :-)

If seriously, just wanted to let the community know it's practically ready: real review will be posted on https://forum.trackballs.eu/ at some later time. u/Skippydamule: thank you for the sample: your hard work gave excellent result once again!

Kensington Konnect on Mac is... annoying

3 Upvotes

I love the Kensington TB675 I recently got (a longtime fan of its wired precursor), but the newly updated Kensington Konnect App is annoying on Mac.

It doesn't behave like a proper citizen: it opens up full screen on startup and then continuously presents as an active, foreground application, occupying a place all the time in the app switcher and cluttering up the experience of tabbing between apps. I can't quit it because then button remapping doesn't work.

I think it should run in background agent or a menu bar "tray" item unless the settings window is explicitly open.

I suppose I should be taking it up with Kensington, but venting here first...

Elecom Huge Plus internals vs Huge

2 Upvotes

Has anyone made a teardown of the Huge Plus yet? How do its internals compare to the Huge?

I'm wondering for the purposes of repairability, in terms of switches used, the battery, etc.

T-CC2-9F DBS-9 connection for modern use

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am a Gen Z guy with interest with retro tech that completely missed the whole era of DBS-9 connections, and I have a Logitech Trackman that is old enough to have a female DBS-9 port and I may need to ask with someone with better understanding of the different adapters to get it working on my Windows 10 machine. Any response can be helpful

Looking for my next trackball

3 Upvotes

Hi everybody, I got my first TB (the wired Kensington orbit) about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it. But, I am thinking I'd like to get another TB that could compliment my multiple devices workflow.

You see, I've got a BT Keyboard that can quickly change from my work laptop, phone, and personal laptop vía Bluetooth and a single button click. I want something similar to my mouse. My only thing is that I don't want the change button under the mouse because I feel like that would be quite slow for my workflow.

Do any of y'all have a TB that you like for quickly changing devices?
