Great work!
Question though were there reasons to go with optical tracking versus a trackball you use a thumb or fingers with?
Personally I've found trackball mice nice for eliminating virtually all wrist movement.

I'm happy to be proven wrong though! How do you like your trackball? Do you get any pain on your fingers or hand after using it for a while? Maybe a product to explore as a second iteration if the first version goes well :D
Thanks. Those are good points. It's fun for me to see people not use to a trackball attempt to use mine. It definitely took me some time to find it 'natural' with FPS games. It makes sense for you to target a larger audience of potential buyers.

I love it overall. My thumb joint does get a little sore/tired after long use (nothing compared to wrist pain). So I have considered switching to one that relies on your fingers instead. Also it works on any surface so it's great if you want a 'full' mouse with a mobile device.
I would definitely recommend exploring it as an option down the road, though I'm guessing it's still a relatively niche market.
Here's wishing you success finishing and launching your product!
Haha I know what you mean, it's also fun to see people trying a vertical mouse for the first time. Even though it's a more natural position, they get so confused.

Ah interesting. I wonder if with long term usage the thumb soreness gets better or worse. I hope the former! Good point about the surface.

Great to hear this, I'll definitely keep it in mind.
