Razzle Dazzle Trackball
Good deal just got hot in my little hands. Celebrations.
Amazon private NYC dealer for a new -Not Refurbished- Marble Trackman. Cost me $22, which is normally closer to $30 for most (including tax which I escaped). Four buttons easy-pie assignable/programmable to Logitech's limits of definitions, but nonetheless a great driver going back decades. Kensington Orbit, I got down on my knees in hope of salvation, crapped. As do Logitech's, no less similarly, no less crappily equipped with over the shoulder, easy to wear out mouse sensors. A little cheaper over Kensington, I'll hazard. So figure 3-yr's use at 60c monthly rental is moderately cool. Besides, Kensington drivers are crap, IMHO. Not to disparage those of you happy with Kensington brand, just didn't work out well at the lower budget entry I took. Of course Amazon squeezes, these days, for everything they can get out of a Prime Membership. And shipping just ain't cheap no more. I used up my grace earlier, with Amazon and their Prime, by joining and ordering two 45lb. Olympic and two 25lb. plates. 150lbs to go with the same price, averaging by pound weight, I got at Sports Authority for a full Chinese 305lb. Mount Olympic set, including 7- foot bar. My little Korean car was tiltled and swaying sideways, returning down the interstate with the passenger side loaded. By Zeus, I then cancelled the Prime membership, directly after, having successfully avoided otherwise some heavy-duty shipping fees on that amount of weight. Warning: Deadlifts can tend be hell on wheels once certain points are eclipsed. Without Prime, to get to the focus, I got a fantastic box of colored pencils, for a couple bucks, in conjunction with the Marble Trackman, in order hump the deal-breaker, which then occurs so to qualify for free shipping -- which can vary, mind, according to Amazon, though on amount usually stated between $25 and $35 on a sum-total of qualifying merchandise. OK, then! It's time to be your lucky day, too, in case you're not up on this stuff haven't subscribed -naghhh not interested- for PRIME. Here's how it works: go here http://www.filleritem.com/ enter the amount of money in excess of your primary purchase item(s), -needed- to meet Amazon's qualifying waiver on shipping fees. And be sure to double-check before finalizing that order number generation;- sometimes, even though everything is Kosher, Amazon's computer warehouse network spits back and pukes up a shipping fee, regardless. Taxes are taxes, meaning, for the time being, they'll remain neither here nor the 1) Some merchants do what others 2) do not. The verdict being obviously still out on whether to squeeze as hard, as humanly possible, when in Rome, for what is due Rome. |

wrote: Addendum: A TrackMan Marble form is two large elliptical primary sensor click buttons with two independent, miniscule buttons at the upper sides of both ellipsis. The TrackMan Marble is designed to be ambidextrous, favoring neither right or left hand. Of the two buttons, therefore, one will be less readily available according to a right- or left-handed predilection, in corresponding with the placement of the smallest "pinky" finger;- the opposite extremity, the thumb, of course readily will be able find the small button. By assigning, to one side, the whole of both small and large click sensors to the primary Windows' "select/click", and only one button, the larger ellipsis, to the other physical side of the mouse sensor, to the secondary Windows' alternate/select, there is decided advantage. The wear and tear, spread across both sensors, ought to ensure a longer lifespan to the device. Better to forgo a decent Logitech software package and some nice creative possibilities for key assignments to otherwise a unique mouse layout. There are, I'm now aware, better built click-sensors in a universe of mice. The manufacture models I looked at employed superior quality switches at twice the price, and at a minimum from there upwards, I paid Logitech. Unfortunately such models required a traditional established mouse tracking sensor to be allied to surface contact, divorcing the uniqueness of the "trackball" effect;- a gaming aspect to these devices as well occurred by far in preponderance. I don't play games. I'm also right-handed within a limitation for a left-handed mouse. My body changed to materialized after an interest for unique studies on input devices, i.e. Devorak and one-handed keyboards, early along in computing, whereupon I decided to "teach myself" to be ambidextrous. Which in turn effected what is now a rigid disposition, I operate within, for the slightest shift, as possible, to the left hand, in the closest immeasurable distance from the keyboard layout, whence to perform a dissimilar operation from a mouse "pointing" device. Which, by now, I wouldn't change come hell or high water. Sincerely, Flash |
