        You might find one as an accessibility option

        I’ve been trying to make one in a normal form factor but can’t find anything on how to make a track ball from scratch/program a board to read it

        My problem with touch pads is limited range, you constantly have to recentre. In a competitive environment that’s wasted ms where you are moving your finger back to make your next movement

        The thumb ball reduces the amount of that

          At least with the ones on the steam deck this is solved (for me) largely by software emulating the momentum of the trackball
