Comment on What is the current best smart TV software/brand/ecosystem option?

I use a HTPC. Using a traditional mouse is the worst. For a long time I used a Mac Mini because the Apple Bluetooth trackpad is the only external trackpad I’ve ever used that’s any good.
Then I got a Bluetooth trackball mouse. It’s by far my favorite. It’s rugged, easy to toss around, and it just lives on a couch arm.
The only steaming device I have is a Chromecast that’s exclusively used to turn on and off the TV.

Do you have a link to a track ball mouse as an example of what you mean? What do you think are the pros and cons of using one?

Here’s the one I have:
logitech.com/…/mx-ergo-wireless-trackball-mouse.h…
I have another Logitech one that cost about $25.
I really, really like it. They’re really durable, easy for a kid to use, and pretty inexpensive.
Only con is if you drop it and the ball pops out, it can roll under the couch.
