Thumb trackballs are objectively better, that's the problem.

If you can somehow find a logitech MX518 or MX510. Those mice are by far the most comfortable ones I've ever used.

They're not being produced anymore sadly.
 
I don't draw or play ranked games, but I use a 10 dollar mouse, and it works for me.

So YMMV, but the cheap shit is better than the high end stuff available 10 years ago, and unless you are a min maxxer I think its fine.
 
I use a corsair wireless Harpoon I bought for $50 a few years back. I also use a hard mouse pad and stopped using the cloth mouse pads around the same time because they always end up looking nasty and filthy. It's some Chinese shit from Amazon made by a company called Seihoo. I think I paid like $15 for it from Amazon. I use my mouse at a desktop I just got tired of dealing with the wired ones. I plug the USB receiver into my keyboard. My motherboard doesn't have any Bluetooth. I used to use Logitechs.
 
Step 1) that Logitech trackball with the angle wedge
Step 2) Magic trackpad 1 for $20
Watch as you grow to hate the computer mouse within a week or two.
 
I’d argue the Razer Basilisk is basically the G502 without all the jank

Word to the wise. I've used thumb trackballs for years and they can fuck up your thumbs as well as regular mice fuck up your wrists. Are they somewhat better than regular mice? Who knows. But those people who claim they are perfectly ergonomically safe haven't used them like all that much and are probably repeating misinformation they've heard from other similarly ignorant people. I switched to vertical mice. I hope I finally found something thats truly better but we'll see.
 
In my opinion, where thumb trackballls properly shine is on the go with laptops. That said, though, I'm of the mind that ambidextrous center trackball mice, e.g. the Logitech Trackman from the early 2000s, were better both ergonomically and for ease of use. Damn shame nobody makes them anymore.
