The bearings are sooooo satisfying. I would also love to have a wireless one.

I'm really tempted to get another one for use with my laptop, but I'm currently using a left-handed Elecom trackball that is wireless - it's fine, but not the sheer luxury of a Ploopy.

ooh that's a good idea. I have wanted something wireless to make it more convenient to do supine computing, so that could be just the ticket.

and cheers to another lefty mouse user!

I feel like an imposter as I'm right handed, but taught myself to use a mouse/trackball left handed for better ergonomics.

Great build! And I've been looking for something like the Ploopy trackball for -ages_. :)

I don't want a trackball for my thumb but for my fingers.

Most of the Ploopy trackballs are designed for fingering(!). The one shown in the article looks to me like the Adept model which I have too and is not a thumb-designed one.

(My Elecom left-handed wireless trackball on the other hand is a thumb-oriented one. They take more getting used to as thumbs aren't quite as dextrous)

Oh, that's neat! For some reason I thought they only had a thumb variant...
