 Anyone using a Logitech m570 trackball with Bricscad Linux and Ubuntu/Mint? Looking for a way to lessen arm fatigue and shoulder pain.

    My personal experience with a trackball and CAD is that it is much harder to move the cursor accurately with a trackball. I gave up using it after one day of testing.

    I agree with Roy, it is harder to move the cursor accurately with a trackball. How much harder is dependent on your ability. I am using m570 with CAD for a long time. It's worth to try by yourself.

    On another CAD site I see a user who has switched to a Wacom tablet after RSI complaints. Not the cheapest alternative, but it may be an option worth investigating.
