The headline of the article uses its own office environment. - It is estimated that there will be a colleague visiting Zhang Aunt, seeking low-key after seeing
This article has been for a long time and has been sorted out intermittently:
——On the one hand, I always wanted to brewing a series and talk about my own mentality in ergonomics (in fact, tossing). Just as I have been tossing trackball recently, I will start from the trackball. Will there be a chance to write keyboards and write them down?
- On the other hand, it is estimated that many of the children's shoes that love tossing have left Microsoft's trackball in their hands, and perhaps there is a need for this repair. I'll put it out and put it out.
This article is divided into four parts (according to my obsessive-compulsive disorder style, we must add an outline to the left...)
The first part, about my personal tossing process
The second part, thinking about ergonomics
The third part, a simple comparison of the trackball on the hand
Part IV, Microsoft Trackball Repair
PS: The photo part is taken with the Charm Blue 3 (in the unit is not a good high-profile, the phone is also slightly better macro), some are taken with the XE1 + XF1855 (high-profile at home is a tragedy, described in detail later).
OK, the text Let's go!
The first part, about my personal tossing processThis part is really a history of blood and tears. To sum up, it is the school day and night + incorrect computer posture = rheumatoid arthritis + carpal tunnel syndrome + always with the shoulder and neck problems . So when I was able to choose my work environment and work equipment, I started tossing ergonomics.
Display: 14-inch notebook monitor - AOC 22-inch monitor - DELL 2407 + APPLE 23-inch monitor (has been used until now, moving several times, could not bear to throw)
Keyboard: notebook keyboard - DELL 8115 - cherry 11800 (various mod) - a variety of mechanical keyboards, such as poker, race, FC660M, etc. - cherry 11800 - gh60 - ergodox - leaving the last three
Welding the GH60 by myself, also wrote a special post (that time is really busy).
Trackball: thinkpad red dot - Logitech Jupiter - Kensington expertmouse - Logitech Jupiter - Microsoft index finger shark - Microsoft thumb shark - Kensington slimlade - left the last four
To sum up, it is a large display + custom layout, mechanical keyboard + trackball. The current office environment is what the cover looks like.
The middle of the body is ERGODOX. This keyboard was only bought on MASSROPP at the time, but it was too lazy to wait for it. At the same time, it was worried that the craft would not work. Finally, the DIY version of Taobao was bought, and the used keycap + 11800 keycap was too personal. This set of keycaps, PBT are used to get oil).
About the introduction of ERGODOX, we recommend interested comrades to look at several articles and introduce in great detail. Recently, there seems to be a lot of domestic production of ERGODOX kits, which should be gradually promoted. There are also ERGODOX EZ abroad, you can look over the wall.
——Mc Lu Xun, published an article on CHH ( Xiao Bian said I quoted too much and listed a degree mother's search bar).
On the left is the 3D mouse (designated as Sandio 3D Game O2) that was bought for design software in the past. So far, the internal space is a mystery. There are 5 buttons + 3 four-axis arrow keys, and a total of 17 micro-motions. Now it has fallen into my cooperation with Logitech Jupiter's wheel + middle button.
On the right is Logitech Jupiter, who has spent 7 years playing N times, and Microsoft's index finger shark. Occasionally an ordinary mouse was used, so the GH60 was sent down under the mouse pad.
Then the question came. After half a day of research, what is ergonomics? As a teenager who likes to quote, he first quotes several articles that are explored by others in ergonomics.
- Pelikan published on CHH, "Ergonomics Series I: Mechanical Keyboard Kinesis Advantage Contoured Keyboard"
- YAGER YU published on engadget, "Talk about Kinesis, and Freestyle Ergonomic Keyboard Design"
Combined with my experience, I personally feel that I have included several points:
1 , first of all is definitely sitting. Including the monitor height, keyboard height, seats, backrests, pedals, etc., there are many introductory articles, not specifically introduced here, we search for it.
Image source network
2, the main keyboard area from the mouse should not be too wide , 87 keys, or even the best 60 keys. Of course, if your mouse is left-handed, please skip this.
- In general, most people still use the 60-key part of the keyboard, enter text, and occasionally use the keypad to enter numbers (of course, in fact, the password can be used directly in the main keypad). So keyboards like POKER and RACE are good enough if they don’t play games.
- Of course there will be a left-handed left-handed keyboard, such as this DSI.
Image source network
3, the keyboard main key area can form an angle, so that the wrist, shoulder pressure will be small, so there is the above article in the Microsoft, ergodox, kinesis, Truly Ergonomic split keyboard.
- Expressed with a video shot, I was born with shoulder width, five big guys and the feeling of using a regular keyboard day and night.
Image source network
- KINESIS has done quite a lot of interesting videos on its own, need science to go online, on youtube.
- Recently found that in addition to Ergodox DIY, there are also many similar, interesting products, you can go to Taobao to see. (Personal not used, so do not comment).
4, the layout of the key position to fully consider the function keys, use a strong thumb (should be stronger than the index finger and middle finger, )
- The general keyboard is to put the function keys on the left and right sides of the main keypad, and use the little finger to press, while allowing two strong thumbs to just press the space bar (burst ah). Reminiscence of the little finger used to twitch, miserable.
- This problem can be solved with a custom key, it can also use thumbs up, add keys, such as Ergodox, Kinesis advantage. For example, my own definition of Ergodox key, basically is the common function keys are defined to the left-hand position, next time to prepare to toss the second layer, the number keys are also defined in the past.
Self-defined Ergodox keys
5, the layout of the key can be considered straight up and down. The traditional staggered type was only used for typewriters that did not use the keys, and it was difficult for them to change their habits when they were promoted. But isn't the finger comfortable and straightforward? Why do you want to be oblique?

Speaking for a long time, I feel like I have sold the keyboard. I haven't entered the subject yet. Let’s talk about these trackballs first.
The third part, a simple comparison of the trackball on the handThere are only four trackballs left in the game. They are Logitech Jupiter, Microsoft Thumb Shark, Microsoft Index Finger Shark, and Kensington Slimblade. Originally there was Kensington's expertmouse, but one day the head was hot and looked at the table's trackball, and he sold his heart.
Then the trackball that is currently on the hand is "retrospective." (I don’t understand why this picture is so small)
Then come to a list of old and new trackballs.
To compare the size of the ball, the size of the ball: Kensington slimlade> Microsoft index finger shark> Logitech Jupiter> Microsoft Thumb Shark.
Let's take a ball again~
There have also been value-friends who have introduced trackball information.
Then the trackball's related information, performance, can also be asked to Duan Niang, Taobao, etc., but as a love quoted teenager, I still recommend a website (requires scientific Internet access).
The above information is probably like this (please call me a waller)
I think I'll talk about using feelings today, and let's start with PO photos.
1) Logitech Jupiter
This has been used for 7 or 8 years and is currently the most comfortable trackball and mouse I use (no one)
- Logitech's powerful driver software ensures the use of acceleration and the same precise positioning at high resolution;
——Although there are not many buttons (4) and no scroll wheel, you can simulate the middle button and simulate the scroll wheel (but some software cannot simulate it, as far as I know there is ARCGIS). With Marble Mouse Scroll, highly recommended! Even other trackballs work well.
- The shape is very comfortable. The mouse body is very long and the palm can rest on it, even without the wrist rest. The smaller spheres meet the needs of fast movement and positioning (see individual needs. If you require precise, small-scale movement, then the big ball is more appropriate - this is similar to the big trucks and cars on the road, and the acceleration and braking are inevitable. has a difference).
- Jupiter's support point is a total of three, visually plastic, I have spent a lot of wear over the years, but it is still very smooth, a little hard ball will roll nearly a circle. Logitech's smarter idea is that unlike Microsoft, it did not make several bumps to prevent the ball from rolling out. Instead, it snapped a bit at the bite so that if the ball were to roll out, it would get stuck after a short distance. There will be no situation in which the support point wears like the Microsoft trackball will rub against the protrusion.
- Another picture to get started, the right is normal use, the left is when I use marble mouse scroll simulation of the posture of the wheel. I am accustomed to this, its practical thumb knuckles can also hold down that small button.
2, Microsoft index finger shark
This mouse has been discontinued, the United States and Asia have new, but the price pit father (more than 600 US dollars), only used on domestic Taobao, estimated to be YLJ.
From ergonomics, as well as button settings, Microsoft's index finger shark is indeed very good design, do not understand why, then Microsoft did not re-production. Now Yilike has a similar one. I didn’t buy it. I’ll explain it in detail later. Is this
- I bought the YLJ on Taobao, but it was changed several times (a lot of postage, and finally the bosses are not willing to sell to me, but also to drunk ). In the end, the change was fine, and the ball basically had no scratches, but it was the support point wear and the rolling was very astringent, so it was only after the repair.
- Microsoft's trackball, after being plugged in, can be bright red, which is quite irritating.
- Microsoft's overall mouse is too big, my palm is also not small, only just a grip, the kind of full-filled feeling, hey.
- From the back, the palm of the hand is oblique. This posture is the same principle as the vertical mouse. It is indeed comfortable.
- This is a good thing, that is, the support point is easy to wear, wear and friction and friction will be raised above. The following figure can clearly see the above metal support point, there are 3 3 bumps on the surface, a small bump on the left side of the middle of the following figure.
3, Microsoft Thumb Shark
This mouse actually is to buy to verify that I am not suitable for using the thumb track ball, but also found that support point wear is Microsoft's common problem, it also gave repairs.
- If there are a large number of comrades moving in a large area, I still recommend using the index finger trackball. Why, it's a long time (I don't need to talk about it), but it's a lot of joints and flexibility (the thumb has only 2 knots. You can use the same finger to make a larger circle).
- If you just go online every day and hope to ease the mouse hand, the thumb trackball is actually enough, and the difficulty of getting started is much lower. (But I think the thumb slides on the tablet and the phone every day and feels tired of it.)
4, Kensington Slimblade
This trackball has many introductions on Aunt Zhang. I will not introduce it.
- Personal feeling is better than expert mouse because you can use the sphere to page directly. However, the keys were too hard and a little loud, and they were changed back. There was also a click of the page, and it was a little tricky in the unit.
- Because unlike the expert mouse, the button is an independent part, the upper cover is one, so the part that can be pressed is the middle one, so the entire hand must be left unfinished, a bit painful. It's the two of my fingers.
- Kensington's trackball series, basically do not appear convex to prevent the trackball out, so basically can not be portable, but the benefit is not easy to feel astringent.
OK, it is crushed to introduce the four trackballs.
Part IV, Microsoft Trackball Repair Because Microsoft's index finger shark has been tossing and replacing, in the middle also received a Microsoft thumb shark, to verify that he is indeed not suitable for the thumb trackball. The common problem with the Microsoft Trackball is that the metal support points wear out (very strange, metal wear seems to be more severe than plastic), and then because of the non-slip protrusion, it is easy to produce friction, the ball rolling will be astringent.
At that time, after discovering this problem, at the same time, it was found that the goods on Taobao were basically worn and were originally prepared to be removed. After seeing a video of a Japanese man who repaired Microsoft's index finger shark on YOUTUBE, he decided to do it yourself!
Needed things:
1. Tools that can be drilled. For example, often Aunt Zhang's meimei electric grinder, I usually do not like to do manual, according to the Japanese man who gave up the video finally gave up the experience with a small hand drill, went to Taobao bought a 35 yuan shipping small electric drill. Then the drill size I recommend 0.5mm and 1mm, Microsoft thumb shark suitable for 0.5mm, Microsoft index finger shark suitable 1mm, will be introduced later.
2, 2mm silicon nitride ceramic ball. Taobao searched for a bunch. Pay attention to the size, I thought that the thumb shark's support point looked smaller, but also bought a 1.5mm, and finally use 2mm on the line.
3, a set of screwdrivers. There are certainly no shortages of friends who love tossing.
Microsoft Thumb Shark Repair
The thumb shark was first repaired, but he did not mind taking photos when he drilled behind, so he only disassembled it.
The principle is probably: remove the support shell - use electric drill to top the metal ball - press the ceramic ball into it.
- The 0.5mm drill bit is used for the drill bit here, because the thumb shark's support shell is relatively thin, and then it is particularly annoying that there are still some reinforcement blocks below each support point, so if you drill it, you can only drill it obliquely. Groped.
- First tear off the rubber sticker on the bottom.
- After the dismantling of the base and the shell
- decomposition is to introduce
- Then this is the way to change the ceramic ball (black ball), the specific drilling can see the back.
Repair of Microsoft Finger Shark
The principle is still the same, but there are a few episodes in the middle:
——I started with a 0.5mm drill bit. Later, I found that the support shell of this cargo was much thicker. I accidentally broke the drill bit. I didn't drill a metal ball with a 1mm drill bit. The thrill of the pass), and finally it was topped out with a screwdriver;
- The middle finger accidentally put the red light to the broken line, and finally to the soldering iron, this point to Microsoft bad review, the design is too compact.
All open state
Can clearly see the micro-motion
The red light of the supporting shell
This is the 0.5mm drill bit I was preparing to use. It was later died.
Put on a 1mm drill, it's rough and easy to use.
After the ball was drilled out, it was topped with a ceramic ball.
Look good
What needs to be said is that even if the ceramic ball is replaced, it will be prone to rubbing with the bumps, so I will eventually just polish the bumps. Microsoft really feels pain in this way.
Attach a video on youtube for someone else. I'll upload it to the potatoes (I don't know if it will be banned. Let's go see it for yourself).
Finally, we still look forward to the availability of more trackball products in the future, at least not to find old products many years ago, and then MOD to make it available. The history of keyboard development from the general mechanical keyboard, to the mass production of the membrane keyboard, and then to the popularity of the mechanical keyboard, people can not help but expect the trackball to have such a rejuvenated day. And cherish it.
In the end, when he was photographing the trackball at home, LD appeared and said, "You have so many trackballs." I know it in seconds. It is estimated that the thumb shark will be ready to get out of it, and then the long-term index finger shark is also expected to go out.
Suddenly feel so frustrated, really only left toss.
