Title: Dedicated 2D scrolling device?
Post by: kody_ on Sun, 31 May 2020, 22:41:28

Are there any devices available that can be used for 2D scrolling? I've seen some software solutions to make something like mouse movement become scrolling but I haven't been able to find anything that just works at a hardware level.

I think just about all of the standalone touchpads will allow right/left & up/down scrolling by sliding a fingertip along an edge.

There's this, but it's built into a mouse.

I haven't used one, but it looks like something close...
