Our Verdict

GameBall Mouse

Ploopy Adept Trackball

The GameBall Mouse and Ploopy Adept Trackball are both wired-only, finger-operated trackballs. The GameBall has a somewhat better build quality and a more accommodating shape that's likely more comfortable for most users to use for long periods. It uses static bearings, which are quiet but can suffer from stiction issues. The Ploopy offers significantly better raw performance with a higher polling rate and better click latency. It uses ball bearings, which are noticeably louder but typically don't suffer from stiction issues.
