![]() The bigger the trackball, the less rotation you need to employ to move the cursor across the screen. A low-quality ball can ruin the experience of using a trackball. Ball: A trackball should rotate smoothly, without gritty-feeling friction.(For more information, see Should you switch to a trackball? below.)Īlthough trackballs can help some people with some symptoms of repetitive stress injury, they can’t help everyone-we recommend consulting a doctor first if you’re considering a trackball for that reason. We also have a budget pick-the Kensington Orbit Trackball Mouse with Scroll Ring-if you don’t mind sacrificing build quality and a couple of features for a more affordable trackball.įinger-operated trackballs with center-mounted balls work for both right- and left-handed people and encourage better wrist posture, while thumb-operated trackballs are more similar to traditional mice and therefore easier to get the hang of. After spending more than 120 hours testing eight trackballs during weeks of work, we found that the best trackballs are the finger-operated Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball and the thumb-operated Logitech Ergo M575. For the first time i am thinking of not re-upping.A trackball isn’t as accurate as a good-quality mouse, but it can be more precise than a trackpad for anyone looking to eliminate repetitive motion from mousing around too much. I am sure AVID is doing right by some users but I find nothing interesting happening anymore and the pace of things is just lethargic. Due to user reports I have not even gone past 12.5.1. My plan comes up in March and 12 for HDX has really brought nothing I am using. The 10HD upgrade really was a turning point (left HD for a while). We've been with you almost 20 years and you are an important part of our business, but you absolutely aren't fixing bugs more quickly like you said you would and deliver new features that your customer base has asked for. I'm not a complainer but at what point does Avid think about giving a rebate to users till they get their act together? I know it's a tough biz and working through all the problems of a program like ProTools is tedious, but you are not holding up your end of the bargain. So for the 599.00 we basically have received the 'collaboration' which we will never use and now a broken midi because of a bug in 12.6. Hated the cost to upgrade to 10HD and almost didn't do the support plan last year. We are loyal customers and love ProTools. ![]() ![]() HD users are paying a lot of money for very little indeed and actually many things have been made worse (video engine anyone?) and now broken midi Track Freeze - is that really a quantum leap from offline bounce which we already had?Ĭlip effects - pretty good I think, but not working perfectly by all accounts Let's not forget that 12.0 was basically exactly the same as 11.3.1Ĭloud collaboration - completely irrelevant for most users I would argue that nothing of real significance has happened since 11.0 Quite how one assesses how valuable those releases have been is very subjective. Though they've been slowing down for years since 9.0 Whatever, looking at this chart, progress seems to have stayed fairly constant in terms of the frequency of releases. AVID can say that you got some bug fixes and clip effects, layered editing, S6 post module support plus a few other things.īut it's clearly not good enough, and hasn't been since the annual fee was announced.Īm I remembering correctly that when the annual fee was announced we were told that it would mean far more frequent updates and bug fixes?
