My current trackball has lost its smoothness and feels “sticky” no matter how well, or often I clean it.

So, I’m looking for a trackball (thumb controlled) with the following features:

  • Bluetooth wireless with support for at least two connections (for laptop and PC media station).
  • Uses AA or AAA batteries.
  • Uses bearings.
  • Set at a tilt/ergo angle.
  • Repairability is also important, but not a total dealbreaker if the mouse is high-enough quality.

So far, most that I’ve found will lack one of those features, but I’d really like to have all of them, if possible.

    Is the current trackball removable from the current one?

    I wonder if you can replace that component with something new as long as it still fits, can register the movement.

    That is if you really like your current one and want to find a way to “refresh” it

      The ball is removable, but the ball looks smaller than some other trackballs I’ve seen. I have no sentimental value for this trackball mouse, so replacing it would be totally fine if I can hit all those requirements. :)
