 Decent Trackball Mouse with a Few Drawbacks March 18, 2010
Adam (California)
My wrists have been bothering me and I was told this was a good way to go. Fairly easy to set up. The receiver is large and has poor range. I thought I could get much further away then two feet without seeing performance issues. It doesn't seem to matter where I place the receiver, it just doesn't like my mouse getting to far away. I have a large hand and it would be nice if there was more area on the mouse for my palm to rest comfortably on. Have been using it for several days and wrists seem to be less irritable. If I had to choose again I would go with the cheaper wired version.

I have several of these and are far and away easier to use then a traditional mouse (I hate them).
Once you learn to use one of these, you will hate your old mouse and never want to go back.
 A mouse that is worth it. March 15, 2010

I don't have any real reason to use such an ergonomic mouse, I just love these trackball mice. I had previously bought the same model, but it wasn't cordless. The previous mouse lasted 3 years with me, I wore-out the left click button until I basically had to slam the d@$n thing to make it work.
I use this one with my laptop, its easy to carry and doesn't need any desk space, your not moving your hand all over the place. This model I noticed, doesn't need cleaning at all! The previous model I had to remove gunk every fer hours of use, this one hasn't required any cleaning since I purchased it.
The there are two CONs I can think of: it consumes batteries often, the small advantage to that is that it only uses one battery at a time. The other thing is that the wireless receiver it has is huge, no mini clip-on USB receiver on the bottom of the mouse to make it even more practical... they had to use the giant cheese wedge with a cord on it...
But over all, great product!

I've been using this trackball for about 6 years. It's a great product. I tend to ruin the chords after 2-3 years and have to purchase a replacement. My only complaint about this Trackball, and this is extremely irritating for me, is that Logitech has not changed the wireless receiver that attaches to the computer. Everyone is using tiny little USB receivers, as is Logitech for most of their wireless products. Yet this trackball has this stupid receiver that's about the size of a cookie, attached to a 5ft chord. I love this trackball, but if a competitor comes out with a similar Thumb driven trackball with a small receiver, I'll switch in a heartbeat.
As comfortable as the original, with more freedom! March 13, 2010

I have been using the trackman marble forever - it came out, then was discontinued (in favor of other shapes and other ball positions) and was then brought back again. I've bought a few over the years, but the older ones are still being used by my kids - they stick around.
This latest one is wireless, with the same shape and feel - no adjustment period. The range isn't bad, but if I bring it all the way into my lap (with the sensor at the back of the desk) it gets skippy.
Overall, I love it - highly recommended. Just note that the sensor thingy (dongle) is big. It's not a tiny thing, but a wire and something sort of mouse-sized on the end.
