Buttons for trackball
« on: January 29, 2003, 06:15:09 pm »
What hand do most righties use for their trackball? The reason I ask is that most CPs I've looked at have the buttons on the right side. I would think you would use your right hand for the ball and your left for the buttons. Any opinions/comments ?

Many arcade games that used trackballs either had the buttons to the left (missle command) or were right and left handed.
