As someone who's started experimenting with trackballs due to wrist and finger problems caused by too much mouse use at work, I feel like this is the only video / article I've seen that gets it. Most of the trackball reviews / advice I've seen wax lyrical about the ergonomics of trackballs over mice, but they all advocate wrist planting over floating hands - which for me leads to even more pain on a trackball than on a regular mouse! We're supposed to type with floating hands and arms, so it's bizarre that most don't seem to understand that this surely applies to pointing devices also.
6:00 "youre not going to have anything to relax [your hand] on" -- I have been wondering if there are any trackballs that have the ball at the base of the palm, so that you could either rest your hand on the ball or lift it off while clicking?

Why are you not posting anymore?
Can you make a video about avoiding repetitive stress problems caused by holding my phone in my non-dominant hand almost exclusively?
Awesome!! Yes...
Should my elbow rest on the desk?
Hello stranger! Your elbows should float by your sides and off of anything especially the desk.
Gotcha Bro! 🎄❤
