Free At Last!

I simply cannot understand why people go on using the standard Mouse. This Trackball is wonderful and frees me from the machinations of trying to stay on a mouse mat. The Service was great and the cost reasonable.After buying a Laptop, it does not take too long to realise that the onboard touchpad is limited and annoying. Similarly, the use of a standard Mouse becomes equally annoying until at last the cordless Trackball frees you to enjoy the freedom from wires. Leave the technical specs to the Geeks and just buy one and enjoy!

Logitech Goodness

I love this mouse! Received one as a present years ago and the only reason I had to buy one now is because my cat somehow managed to destroy the receiver (imagine a rube goldberg setup) and those things are hard to replace. While I did find that Logitech's customer service was a bit below par (I did reach them after a couple of disconnects but they do not sell the receiver for this mouse, they did offer 20% off a new one through them) but when you have a great product you don't need great support. Had I the funds, I would have gladly purchased the programmable version. I prefer Logitech and I love this mouse. If you are looking for a great trackball, this is it.

Make the leap!

I originally got this mouse because of pain in my wrist. The first day I used it, I felt really akward and like I didn't have good control. But by the second day, it was starting to feel good. Be the third or fourth day, it works way better than your regular mouse ever did.

My wife started using it, after long opposition, when she had to borrow my computer. After that, we ended up buying two more for her home and work computers. You can move your mouse faster because you can "spin" the marble to where you want the mouse to go, rather than having to move the mouse the entire distance by hand. You also need less space for your mouse on your desk because you don't have to mouve the mouse to move the cursor.

What you can't tell from the review is how handy all the buttons on the mouse are, especially on the web. The scroll wheel also works as a clicker, and if you click it (by pressing directly down on it) it opens a link in a new tab automatically. But don't worry, scrolling still works exactly as you would expect. The web back button is right by your thumb.

The only bad thing about this mouse is that the you have to plug a wireless receiver into a USB port, and the wireless receiver is bulky and on a perhaps 3 foot cord. No problem at all for a desktop, but for a laptop, it is kind of a pain when you wnat to move your laptop around.

ALso, strangely, on the 5 computers we have installed this mouse on, we have had full functionality from the mouse right away, without having to install the driver software. So nice and convenient install, but we have no idea why it comes with a driver at all.

The batteries last a really really long time.

Cordless is good, but this isn't Logitech's best design

I upgraded to this model after finally having to shelve my Logitech TrackMan Marble FX Trackball.

I like this model because it is cordless and has a USB connection. I have larger hands, so the size isn't a concern. However, I can understand how users with smaller hands would find this design unworkable.

I don't like Optical Trackman as much as the aforementioned Marble FX because:

1. It doesn't stay as clean, so the ball jumps and skips;
2. It doesn't have the finger-and-thumb control of the old version, so the movement isn't as precise;
3. It isn't durable. I've worn out two models in three years. I'm on my third and I won't buy another when this one breaks.

I'll be looking for a new trackball soon. Hopefully, Logitech will return to form.
