Mouse exercise tool for a new input device?


I just got a desktop trackball, coming from a normal mouse. I want to find some kind of game or similar to drill point, click, drag, path follow, etc. to speed up the familiarization.

Everything I’m finding is aimed at teaching children and boomers to use a mouse and click on links. I’m looking for something to drill accuracy and speed, not teach me to use a computer.

Any ideas?

There are some aim trainer games like Kovaak's or Aimlabs, but those are specifically for shooters. I imagine they would be difficult on a trackball.

For general point and click, maybe one of the idle clicker games, like Cookie Clicker? Or just browsing the web, or playing a RTS like the other poster suggested.

How about solitaire?

Do you like any RTS games? Disable your keyboard shortcuts and you'll lose some ELO, but you'll drill accuracy and speed like no other
