I am home now from the hospital rehab unit (since Friday). I have a
'perscription' for a track ball so I can mouse right-handed unti my
shoulder heals (6 more weeks).
So I did a little shopping and want to know if anyone has experience
with these beasts.
I see I want an optical track ball device.
with 2 buttons.
with some sort of wheel equivalent.
So I found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Orbit-Trackball-Scroll-K72337US/dp/B002OOWB3O
This one does not seem to have a wheel function:

Perhaps someone here has some experience with this? Perhpas some
other brand like Logitech?
thanks for all help.
I have been using Kensington trackballs for quite a few years. They are
quite reliable and pleasant to use. I HATE mouses! But I have to say
that I have never had one with a scroll wheel, so I can't speak
for that option. I have felt that using the ball to scroll with the
scroll track at the side of the document was sufficient, and of course,
you can also scroll with the arrow keys on the keyboard, one line at a time.
Hope you get well soon. (You may never go back to a mouse!)
