I'm similar. I prefer a symmetrical trackball so I can alternate hands and give the other hand a rest. I have been happily using a Kensington Orbit [1] for many years now. It has a scroll ring surrounding the track ball which I also really like. Absolutely love this trackball!

I have the Kensington Expert Mouse [1] which is just great.

For me, it's Kensington Slimblade¹ sunk into a desk cutout, since wrist extension (bending up/back) is an RSI problem for me.

That looks pretty nice too although the angle of it concerns me a bit. I use a standing desk so it looks like it might require me to bend my wrists backwards a bit more than the Orbit. I might give it a try though.

Yeah, I used to use these, the angle is a problem. The Slimblade I think it's called is much better in that regard.
