excessive usage of mouse for non-gaymen activities. It basically protects you from carpal tunnel syndrome. Actually after getting used to it, you can do gaymen on it except FPS games. But I personally use it in my linux development environment, I usually use keyboard shortcuts but I may need small mouse movements which can be tiring, trackball protects you from any kind of tiredness.

Or you could try moousing with both hands. It's fun.

But I like using that for stuff like 3D modeling, and it's definitely better for long periods at a computer.

Still prefer a mouse for gaming and general use though.

False, you can do shooters on thumbball just fine. Maybe not pro competition level, but it's not worse than regular mouse for casual pve fun.

Any recommendations for an inexpensive trackball available in europe?

CST trackballs can go for really cheap, I picked up a 1050 for $10 and a 1550 for $20.

Look for second hand CST or CH products locally.

Otherwise Logitech makes some (op related).

I used to play Quake 3 with a trackball semi-competitively back in the day. It's doable once you get used to it.

Lately my hand has been bothering me after prolonged computer use, so I'm actually about to buy the mouse OP posted.

Not like there's a whole bunch of alternatives out there, but it should be good, I never had a problem with any Logitech peripherals.

I don't understand how this is supposed to ease carpal tunnel syndrome when it seems that it only increases the amounts of movements your hand does to move the cursor.
Compared to slightly moving your arm, why place all the stress on your thumb?
>inb4 everyone else just bends their wrists to move a normal mouse.

I can't, sorry. It is too advanced for me.
