I've tried trackballs before, I just find there's no accuracy, especially for the precise selections needed in a studio. I suppose, like everything, with enough practise you might find you like it better. If possible, try borrowing one from a friend. Some stores might even let you take one home to try it out. After using it for a few days you'll probably feel whether it's right for you or not.

On the subject of the keyboard, it doesn't need to be crazy-expensive. I do recommend a mechanical keyboard though, just for that lovely clicky feeling! I also find chiclets hard to touch-type on because of the less pronounced gaps between the keys.

Also, good luck with it all!

Yeah, I'm thinking I might Amazon Prime one.
