Trackball Support

[DAIMYO]

Let's see some real trackball support to rival Golden Tee!

Trackball support?

Thinking about picking this up. Before I do, would anyone be able to tell me whether or not I can play with my X-Arcade Tankstick Trackball like I do for Golden tee and Tiger Woods? That you in advance.

[Cobra Kai]

Should be able to good idea!! If it works with Golf Club 2019 it should work, ask the 2k21 support team to be sure.

I do not own any of the previous TGC games with the exception of The Golf Club VR which obviously you do not play with a trackball. Has anyone tried playing PGA Tour 2k21 or previous TGC games with a trackball or heck even a trackball mouse?

If so, please let me know about your experience with it and whether or not it is a viable control option. Thanks.

I submitted the request to 2k21 support and will let everyone know what they come back with.

they wouldnt put 3 click in 10 years ago in thhe original, after a huge backlash, so it aint coming now.. these people just want free money from the PC, its a console port, never will be anything more. can tell whoever did thhe mouse/keyboard never played a game in his life... refunded here as I dont have a controller. Mouse was horrible play

Appreciate your input CackleTV. Well the trackball is basically just a giant mouse so if you are saying that mouse play was horrible...

"PGA 2K21 offers a wide variety of controller support, including any device which functions as a normal mouse within Windows. So as long as your desired pointing device works normally as a mouse under windows, it should function normally within PGA 2K21 Tour.

However, if this device uses custom software or drivers, such as Wacom tablets or other pointing devices, then that support would only be possible through the manufacture of said device and their drivers."

With that being said, a trackball does work as a mouse.... I may have to give it a try.

Once you get a good trackball, there's no going back.

Thank you for getting that info JIN. Still hoping to find someone out there that has tried it and can tell me how it plays/feels before I drop $60 bucks on it, only to then find out that it plays/controls horribly.

My biggest fears are the inclusion of this "swing tempo" i've been reading about, as well as the "severe penalty" for being slightly off (not staying straight). Sounds like Trackball would be very difficult. I'm all for a good challenge, however I have not the desire to be shooting in the 90's consistently.

[DAIMYO]

I'm trying it out now. I would say with a couple hours of practice, you can get proficient with a trackball, but it is definitely more difficult than using a controller.

[DAIMYO]

I'm currently playing at even after two games of 18 with a trackball, so it is doable and enjoyable.

Do you have to hold the mouse button while swinging ?

What is a good trackball to use. I want to get back into using them.

[DAIMYO]

So I assigned my player 1 coin button to be left mouse button.

This is the trackball I use: https://www.ultimarc.com/trackballs-and-spinners/trackballs/


I also moved mouse sensitivity to 30 and I think its a little more forgiving.
