Advantages of using a trackball
Compared to a traditional computer mouse, using a trackball requires significantly less arm and wrist movement. The hand can remain in a more neutral position while working, which helps protect the wrist and reduce fatigue. The compact design of the trackball also requires less workspace. Additionally, its smooth, relatively small surface makes it easy to clean with minimal effort.
Trackballs can be customized and programmed for specific users, ensuring an exceptionally precise interface between the operator and the machine. This level of precision makes trackballs a preferred choice in CAD workstations. Moreover, they are also trusted as a high-quality, durable alternative to the computer mouse in safety-critical areas such as air traffic control, as well as in design and construction work.
