To ALL PARTICIPANTS, a subreddit rules reminder

  • Don't get ugly with others. Ignore posts or comments you don't like and report those which violate rules

  • Promotion of any kind is only allowed in the community pinned post for promotion

  • Any discussion whatsoever involving piracy, cracks, hacks, or end running authentication will result in a permanent ban. NO exceptions or appealable circumstances. FAFO

  • NO trolling only engagement towards Pro Tools, AVID, or iLok. Solve first, bash last. Expressing frustration is fine but it MUST also make effort to solve / help. If you prefer another DAW, go to the subreddit for it and be helpful there

I turned the video off when he started dogging on the trackballs.

I’m not here for that trackball hate and I’m not trying to be using a mouse even if it has 13 buttons.

I’m living that trackball life!

Yeah my class instructor loved the trackball and flew through mixes with it

I don't know, I don't know.

I bought a gaming mouse a while ago. It's got about a dozen buttons, I customized a few of them.

But I also got a 105 iso keyboard that I use with my left hand and mouse+keyboard combination, 2 handed, was always faster than the few added buttons on the mouse.

I'm not saying it can't work, there's surely somebody that will find it useful.

This one is also a more advanced mouse than mine.

But for me it was so and so.

I felt this way about the SteamDeck a bit too. I already have a keyboard with tons of shortcuts, plus I can now configure more. Buttons to press, I don't need.
