There’s always some creative gamers out there trying things most others don’t try. Turning left, when most everybody else turns right. Yes, talking about what’s pictured above.
A trackball for PC gaming.
My trackball’s perfect for me and what I want to use it for. My index and middle fingers rest on the ball while my thumb naturally falls on the left mouse button, which is within easy reach of the scroll wheel. My third finger rests on the right mouse button, and my pinky comfortably sits on a bit of blank plastic off to the side, out of harm’s way. Oddly enough it’s more portable than any mouse I’ve ever used, because I don’t even need to find a flat surface to use it, just a stable one
