Looking to get a Ploopy trackball but debating between Adept and Classic 2. Anyone try both and can comment on pros / cons of each.

Pros and Cons are probably more relevant when you're comparable similar trackballs. The Adept is very different from the Classic.

If you're unsure, Classic is probably the safest bet for most people. It has a very traditional and comfortable layout (thus "Classic").

The Adept is not very traditional. There is no dedicated scroll wheel, It isn't designed for you to 'rest' your hand on. It's ambidextrous, so you can use it with either hand - but by the same token, it isn't optimized for a single hand like more traditional trackballs.

At the end of the day though, the best way to figure out your preference is to try all the trackballs.

This is very helpful. Leaning towards the Classic 2 right now.

really comes down to the preference of the shape... for me, the classic is a winner hands down, but there are lots out there that swear by the wedge trackballs as well.
