Title: Not for gaming
Product review: I've used thumb-based trackballs for gaming for the last 15 years. Nothing beats how fast you can turn with a quick flip of your thumb. I used to have horrible problems with my shoulder when using mice. (I game ALOT) When my last Trackman Marble+ wore out I got this trackball. I was excited about the programmable buttons and the fact that there were five of them. I thought it would be a nice addition to my Nostromo speedpad. This was not the case. As pretty much all the other users here have stated... It gums up quickly, and the ball skips out of its socket. This is because it does not have a retaining ring like the Logitechs do. It was comfortable, had all the right features, but when it came down to more than 30-40 min of use... it became worthless due to the socket problem. One little design change and Microsoft would have a winner here. Too bad.
