Trackball Player

Who needs buttons when you have a trackball? Yes the good ole’ trackball, often dismissed as yesterday’s technology but perhaps we can find a place for it in today’s touchscreen crazed devices. The Ball Player works like every other MP3 player except for one minor, or not so minor, difference. In lieu of buttons, you simply roll the trackball towards the direction of control you wish to execute. It may seem pointless but the trackball also works another way. Place it on any flat surface and you can control your tunes by moving it up, down, and side to side.

i dislike trackball systems..they evenually stop working and no one can EVER repair them (i.e. the Mac Laptop trackballs of the ’90’s).

you idiot. theres a little thing called PROGRESS that IMPROVES the QUALITY of things.

sure trackballs were shit back then but in the mid-90s they started making better trackballs that worked for many people for decades even.

i love my trackball mouse. :p
