Consider the RSI-prone gamer. I would like to have healthy hands and wrists in older age and still use the computer.

      Are they good for gaming? Considering giving Xonotic (FPS) a try and I switched to a trackball some time ago due to wrist concerns.

        I got a Gameball which has been pretty good to me for the past year or so, but for the record I’m pretty casual when it comes to shooters I pretty much only play Helldivers 2.

        Yes?

        You gotta practice and set one up right for it but I never had a problem with trackballs and gaming. The biggest difference is that you’re using a different set of muscles for coarse/fine motion.
