Customer Reviews
Great product
So far it’s great! Great movement and speed. I’ve always dealt with shorter life spans on thumb wheel mice, usually the buttons wear out first. I’m hoping this one will be a bit more durable.
This is hands down the best thumb-operated trackball on the market.
(Sorry for my English, I am not a native speaker.)
I have purchased GameBall Thumbball as there are no good thumbballs in my country. There were some problems with shipping but all problems were handled exceptionally well by the company, all unexpected fees were refund and now I am a proud owner of the limited edition thumbball unit.
It met my expectations, works flawlessly both with my Apple machine and my Windows computer.
I love the bearings that allow for super smooth mouse movements, bearings that I was used to with trackballs from LogiTech definitely were not even close to these in terms of how smooth can the ball spin.
High polling rate allows me to constantly use low DPI so my aim is precise and whenever need I can spin the ball faster without any stuttering.
It is evident that the scroll wheel is designed with gamers in mind as well, as it is hard to accidentally scroll to another weapon unless you really want to. Feature that I low key miss is a 4-way scroll wheel but it's not a big deal. Maybe it is for my best that I cannot accidentally click it.
Overall build quality is simply great, the surface of the mouse is not slippery and I am glad for the decision to stick to plastic surface as those rubber surfaces used on some other gaming mice wear down a lot sooner.
I also appreciate the long light-weight braded usb-c cable and those rbg lights that achieve Razer-like quality in brightness and vibrancy, although the choice of colors is limited.
I would like to end this review by appraising the fact that this product works right out of the box and unlike mice from other companies it doesn't require you to download any bloatware.
I am very sorry about this. I will look into this and make it right. I will refund the first order and ship you another one DDP shipping, so you won't have to pay duties. We changed to DDP shipping after your order to try and avoid issues like this.
Again, sorry for the hassle.
I am glad we were able to work out a solution for you.

As others have described, there are some features that could use higher-quality components (scroll wheel, back/forward buttons) and there is a lack of a built-in compartment to hold the wireless transmitter (like the Logitech models have). However, the quality bearings, main L/R switches, & USB-C port make this the best thumb trackball choice currently available on the market.
