I mean for games where you are playing a ball like in Katamari Damacy or that bowling game called Rock of Ages, this would be fun actually, cause you get to pretend like you are the ball as you play the game.
so I disagree with you 100%, its just for very niche games like that only.
Idk why you hold on so literally to the idea of a ball shape.
Its a ball because you can roll it and because you can roll it in any direction forever, it becomes an infinite surface, similair to a normal mouse and an infinitely large desk, except you dont have to walk to access all the surface.
You roll the ball to the left and your character turns to the left, you roll it to the right and it turns to the right, completely the same as with a traditional mouse so you can use this perfectly fine with navigating a desktop, playing shooters, RTS, you name it and as a plus you put less strain on your arms.
Heck if we follow your way of thinking here a traditional (although a trackball is as old as PC's are really) mouse would only be good for...idk air hockey?
Except now you have less fingers to work with
Imagine trying a drag shot In FPS games using this mouse
Not really, with my mouse I use my thumb to move the ball so I have my index, middle and ring finger on the rest plus 2 extra buttons I can easily reach with my index finger.
With this trackball its the same, you grip the mouse on both sides so you have access to multiple buttons with your thump and your ring and pinky atleast assuming you use both your index and middle finger to roll the ball.
So really you have plenty of buttons at your disposal doing a drag shot.
Bit of an odd request but if you have a reddit account, could you ask here:I´ve ordered one of the first Limited Edition Gameballs when they got available. It is a very expensive trackball but in such limited quantities and such a special niche of users, its OK I think.
I mainly use it for more casual games like RPG´s etc. because for me its much more comfortable then a mouse. For shooter games i still use a regular Razer mouse.

if they fixed the "ball hopping out" issue that some people have and is solved with a piece of teflon tape?
Im interested in buying the mouse myself as well but I would like that small problem to be fixed by the manufactuere.
