Hooray! I was getting worried that ANY of the components of my desktop PC would be affordable to replace when it becomes necessary! 🤦🤬

What about a trackball mouse?

Would still need to be on a flat surface, so the poor ergonomics problem would still persist

It won’t be perfect or good for precision mouse stuff

See, the problem is that the precision is essential.

Have you tried playing We Are Football with an otherwise excellent controller with hall effect sticks and everything, with the Steam input settings on the most mouselike possible?

It’s like trying to type with winter gloves on: possible to do if absolutely necessary, but it’s going to be a very slow and frustrating experience with a lot of missing.

My use case is playing games like We Are Football 2024, the Football Manager games and others where a regular controller isn’t precise enough from the couch, since I use my TV as a monitor and how low my coffee table is makes using a mouse awkward and ergonomically awful lol

Because I’m poor, currently spending a lot on my weight loss/general health improvement project, and already having a great controller for games with regular controller support (Razer Wolverine V3 Pro) makes it harder for me to justify spending a lot on one only for games that would otherwise require a mouse 😁

Please let it be good for replacing a mouse and also halfway affordable!
