@shapr I tried their Mini Trackball a while ago, that was sadly very disappointing in multiple ways.

The long buttons were awkward, and felt terrible, so did the side button, and the 3D printed frame looked rather sad too.

But I liked what they're trying to do, so when they announced the Adept, I knew I had to get one. Eventually got one through $work, and oh my, it is good. The buttons are solid, the frame looks and feels great, its tilt is almost perfect.

It does lack a scroll ring or scroll button (you can scroll with button + wheel, but I don't like chording, and so far, have been too lazy to flash new firmware onto it), so I bought a Knob to go along with it.

Turns out, having the Adept on the right or in the middle, between my Model100 halves, and the Knob on the left is very convenient. I can mouse with one hand, and scroll with the other! When I'm reading something long, this is incredible.
