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

What are your thoughts on the Steam deck's Touchpads? I'd love to see them in a thumb ball type formfactor

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
