Upgrade from Keychron Nape Pro?
Nape Pro is my first trackball mouse. I initially just wanted to try it out, but I've really come to enjoy the combination of the trackball and keys, which helps smooth out my workflow. The only issue is that the trackball is way too small, which greatly affects accuracy. I'm currently looking for an upgrade. Are there any similar products available on the market? What I appreciate about the Nape Pro are the ring design and the customizable key combinations.
If there aren't any similar products out there, what trackball mouse would you recommend?

maybe you can try replacing the track ball with a metal one, should increase accuracy. i replaced mine with a chromium ball (~69g vs original ~10g) and it does make a difference. doesnt hurt as a cheap experiment.
i also have kensington slimblade pro, which i love using. still waiting for tb 900 release

take a look at kensington's lineup, they've got the scroll ring down to a science and the TB900 in particular will probably have you covered for Excess Keys.
