So I've sort-of been trending towards PC gaming, not in the hardcore camp outside a store for a graphics card way, but I bought a little APU-based mini PC that has been surprisingly good late last year.
It's hooked up to my TV (I will not do desk gaming) and I'd like to play some things that are really not controller friendly, like Age of Empires, Deus Ex, Stalker series, maybe some old Sim City etc. Was thinking a trackball would be nice since I can lounge around without needing a flat space to sit it. It's a weird market though, there's different types yet not much to choose from. Seems like maybe stuck with Logitech, which the way I've been not thrilled with their stuff lately I'd be as happy trying out one of the capital letter Chinese brands that won't be much different.
Anyone that's done this for light (or heavy) gaming have any suggestions? I haven't used a trackball since my laptop had one over 25 years ago.
With a mixing console, keyboard/MIDI controller and possibly peripherals, some people have very little room for their (computer) keyboard and mouse on their studio desks. Specially in small/home studios. And with a trackball you only need a small spot for your mouse. But honestly, I've never thought it was a worth trade-off. I guess it just became part of studio culture here in the late 90s (when computers started getting popular with producers in my neck of the woods) and never went away.
