Hello. My name is Hawkgirl. I am a trackball addict.

In my experience, it takes about 2 weeks for full mouse-to-trackball switch or vice versa. You can get relatively comfortable in a few hours, but the precision dexterity takes a while. Once your muscles learn what to do, though, you'll be fine. You stop having to *think* about what you're doing in a pretty short amount of time.

And for me, it's worth it. Better control, less movement of my hand/wrist, and comfort.
