mouse moves

Good day everyone,


Old mouse it's on it's last leg and ready to move to another mouse or perhaps even a track ball.


All subjective I know.


But is there one with a general consensus that does well. THANKS

Not sure if you can get a consensus on anything these days but Ive been using a track ball for years and would never use an ordinary mouse again.

I bought the MX Ergo earlier this year and love it. Pricey but worth every penny.

I hate track balls. I use one every day on tour and it made my hand hurt and was never as precise as a real mouse.

I use a Logitech wireless four button mouse with a scroll wheel. So much easier and faster being able to use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, and left and right in Protools.

I did a little browsing, seems top cats using a track ball. Very interesting. I like to try one for awhile before committing.

Logitech M500S Wired Mouse. I'm on Windows and use the free X-Mouse Button Control driver to program my buttons - 6 of the 7 - for specific Pro Tools shortcuts. Same can be accomplished with SteerMouse on Mac if the Logitech driver won 't.

On my home PC(not for audio), I used a Logitech Trackman Marble for years and loved it, but it was terrible for Pro Tools. I bought a Kensington Trackball(like many use) and hate it(glad I got a super deal on it). My current PT rig uses a Logitech G300s(wired) and its as good as anything I have tried

Best to try many and pick what works for you as its a personal choice. Then again, if you have carpal tunnel or other wrist issues, you might be better off with one of the vertical grip options. They aren't cheap, but, like a great chair, they're worth every cent in the long run
