Man, this trackball is starting to annoy me. The rightclick usually results in double rightclicking, which ruins my fun in games.

I seriously am considering throwing it hard to the floor, grabbing a hammer, and smashing it to smithereens.

I seriously am considering that, yes.

It would be SO satisfying for torturing me like that for the last month.

@trinsec The double click issue can be solved by a piece of paper. My last trackball has the same issue on left click. I tried to stick a piece of paper on the switch, I don't know why, but it works. :ablobthinking:

@skyblond Oh, I am planning to screw it open and see what's up. :P I'm far too conscious to actually break it like that but hey, it's nice fantasizing. :P

I do have spares, so I probably should put one of those to use now before playing.

@trinsec If the paper trick doesn't work, you can always try to swap the micro switch. I didn't do that because the least amount I can buy is 100 pieces per pack. There are retailers but each switch cost 0.5 USD with 2USD of shipping? No thanks. LOL

@skyblond Replaced it now. I even swapped the balls because the new one was too stiff, not worn out enough lol. I have to get used to the smoothness again.
Since I couldn't find the receiver, I just paired the old one up with this one too.

@jellycrystals No, M570. The Deck doesn't have a trackball. A trackpad yes.

@trinsec That's what I thought, maybe you had some wild adapter... Haha
