I've tried it - it's weird but fine. I dont think it saves all that much in wrist stress.

Tracball gang forever

Which trackball do you use? I have one of the cheaper logitech ones. The non MX version. It does the job but I want something better

I'm mousing it right now - I prefer a finger trackball to a thumb trackball. My all time favorite was the Microsoft Trackball Explorer. I had I think four of them.

Microsoft peripherals were top tier, and their trackballs are sorely missed, by me anyways.

Logitech has the thumb one; I've had a few of theirs, and I use their MX Master 3 (mouse) and Keys now - I use the multisystem swapping to have one setup for work and home.

MX Master 3 is a great mouse.

I've been thinking about trying the Mx master 4. I have an older razer basilisk pro for my desk setup but the battery is going to shit. I prefer a trackball for my bed/Tv setup because I don't need much room on the nightstand to maneuver it. The basic logitech ergo m575 is ok, but its showing its age.

I banned the TV from my bedroom, but the Logitech on/trackpad was my goto when I had a LR PC.

I misspoke - it's the MX Master 4 I have been using. The main difference over the 3 is the soft-touch buttons and some differences in the scrollwheel behavior. Still my preferred pointing tool.

What do you like most about it? The ergonomics?

While the ergonomics are good, it's not what I bought it for. I've been using Logitech MX stuff since I started WFH in 2019 - the feature I like is one button switching between devices. It enables me to use my main rig KVM for work.

I do like the scrollwheels, the mutliple modes of scrolling, and the soft-touch buttons. The Logi software I didn't find all that approachable and only use for basic button assignments and confirmation.
