I had both years ago. a jog shuttle for the Edius video editing program and a trackball. Both works very well for the DV editing. The trackball had the advantage of being able to scroll through the timeline very quickly. He had a massive ball in the middle. Similar to the orbit. With the jog shuttle you could put functions on the keys so I was very fast with it. I would like to have a jog shuttle today. Should someone bring this Contour Jogwheel to run I would buy it immediately.

Oh, I forgot something: My mouse settings in Xfce might be important to know.

I uploaded a screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/VbMkr0K

Thank you very much, Juergen.

It seems to me from your video that the trackball is slightly more accurate than the mouse. But it's hard to make a true comparison.

I do not move the mouse itself, I only use the sphere and the 4 buttons.
I am using this mouse for so many years now that I don't know anymore how it compares to a "regular" mouse.

All I can say is, that I am satisfied with it.

I have made a little video for you that shows me using the mouse with the plugin "Color 3 Way".

The link to the video is: https://streamable.com/i0acw

I am using the sphere to navigate the mouse pointer around.
I am using the bottom left mouse button with my right thumb (This should be the left mouse button on a "regular" mouse.) to click buttons etc..

Hi, your comment is welcome.
I'm really curious about the trackballs.

Two questions:
1- Don't move the mouse, do you just act on the sphere?
2- Does it fit well to make fine adjustments with the plugin "Color 3 Way" color wheel? I mean, can you replace a surface control?

Hello Andrea - and anybody else :-)

I may be a little late for this, but I thought it might still be of interest. I am using a Kensington Slimblade Trackball under Debian 9.

In my opinion everything works fine - under Linux and Cinelerra GG:

All 4 buttons are working
Windows scrolling by moving the trackball

Greetings

Great Andrea :-)

Now you should also be able to see the new context menu.

I finally got the Logitech G402 suggested by Sam. Now I can finally use the middle mouse button. :-)

Thank you Phyllis (and Sam).

M185 too small for my big, very big, hands and then, I hadn't said, sorry, I prefer no wireless. Anyway, it's all for the sake of discussion. After years I decided to buy a probe (spyder 5 pro) to profile the monitor, the purchase of the mouse will be postponed.
