Review: Finally, A Great Trackball for Macs - After reading the other desertcart reviews, I thought I would respond to some of the issues other reviewers raise from a Mac user's perspective. I run a new PowerBook 15" with OS X 10.3.2. Unlike some other reviewers, I didn't notice any directional/orientation problems--the cursor follows the ball movement very well, even before installing the included Logitech software. Perhaps the necessary drivers are now universally available, or perhaps the Mac version is just better. Also, the "finger layout" has not proven to be an issue for me--I can use any or all of my fingers to control the ball without any cursor-direction problems. The wireless function has proven flawless on my Mac. The reciever is a couple feet away and actually off the desk (no line of sight) and works fine. It was essentially plug-and-play on the Mac--I didn't even have to push the 'Connect' buttons to establish a signal, it just worked. The software is necessary, however, to re-assign new functions to the several buttons on this model. As a former PC user, I can't go without a right-click button (one of the reasons I bought an external device for my notebook at all). The Mac software is very easy to use, and one can re-program all of the buttons and the wheel if one so desires. You can set a button to automatically double- or triple-click, or select keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Command and W to close the current window). Very easy, and quite useful--I use buttons to close windows, quit programs, delete files, and still have a handy web-browsing 'Back' button. The only possible drawback to the Mac software is that one cannot "train" the ball's orientation (from what I can gather from other reviews, this option is not available on PC either). This really only matters if you know you hold trackballs at a different angle than most people do. Please note that the software I'm reviewing is for Mac OS X only; the program for those running OS 8.6-9.2 is a different piece of software, which is also included in the package. Those are all the Mac-specific comments I can think of at this point; if you're a Mac-user you're probably used to things "just working," and this device is no exception. I'll also comment on some of the more universal issues raised by other reviews: Ergonomically, there is a period of adjustment--anyone moving from a conventional mouse to any trackball or from one trackball to another should expect that. It's never a bad idea to try one out in-store to see how they feel, especially since trackball models vary from one to another much more than mice do. This is not, as some have termed it, a 'disadvantage'--all new things take some time to get used to. If you've never used a trackball, it's weird for a while; it's also ergonomically superior/healthier in the long term. Also, I use trackballs for computer drafting/design, and find superior control to mice--finger-control is just more precise than either thumb-controlled trackballs or wrist/arm-controlled mice. The optical ball-tracking technology requires almost no cleaning, and there are zero moving parts to clean. Just pop the ball out and blow any collected lint out of the socket if necessary--which very rarely is. For any pointing device that's wireless, optical, and has this many buttons, this price is pretty decent--lower, I think, than my previous trackball that was wired and lacked the wheel. As for Logitech's reputation/reliability, I have had good experiences. My first trackball had to be replaced during the warranty period, but its replacement has lasted the four years since--I only replaced it now because it wasn't Mac-compatible. Now Mac-users can rejoice with a high-performance trackball that works seamlessly in OS X.
Review: Solid Hardware; Doesn't fit all hands - I use Windows 7 Premium 64bit and I also run Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit in VMware workstation for work. All buttons and functions work properly in both the host an the guest machines. This trackball is solid Logitech. It feels substantial and the buttons and track back are well made. Cleaning the trackball is a snap. Just pop it out, give it a wipe, and done. The software is also very easy to use and to customize the buttons to your liking. I am not a huge fan of the external USB radio transmitter that is used and that alone might have stopped me from buying this). It does not use the Logitech USB receiver other mice use, so I wouldn't recommend trying to travel with it. The programmable buttons are great. I like the default assignments, but I programmed the scroll lock button to send "Enter" instead. I have set-up Windows to move the mouse to the default button when a dialog appears, so I can just hit that key rather then moving the mouse or moving my hand back to the keyboard. It's a little thing, but it's productive. A note about fit. I did not ding the score for fit since fit is very personal. What I like may not be what you like. But here is my $.02. If you can get to a store to try it out, do so. I have average sized hands for someone who is 5' 9" tall. The Trackman is a little bit big to easily get to all the buttons. I tend to rest the side of my hand on the desk which means I can easily get my index and ring fingers on the ball, my ring finger on the right mouse key, and thumb on the left mouse button and the forward/back buttons above the left click. The other buttons along the top ridge are out of reach. I have to shift my hand. Not a huge deal until you consider my hand is now out of place with respect to the trackball and buttons so I have to shift back and forth. It's an annoyance for me. I have tried moving my hand up to rest more on the ample real estate on the back of the body, but that is more uncomfortable. I also tried floating my hand over the unit. That hasn't stopped me from using the Trackman, but I am not likely to buy another one these models. However, if you find it fits your hand, then this I highly recommend this trackball.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I paid $30 for this same thing in 2009 and now it is $439??? what's with that?**
A: Supply and demand i guess.  Im not selling the mouse for $439, so i cannot answer for that particular seller.  Once an item is "out of production" it changes the supply drastically.

**Q: I bought this last year for $80 and I Know this cannot is not a correct price, is this kind of price gouging common?**
A: Nathan was correct. I had the same issue a few years ago with a Microsoft trackball. They had discontinued it and the only NIB were going for 5 times more than the original price. If the product is discontinued from the manufacturer and new supplies are limited the market will determine the price. It's not much different from someone selling a collectors item that's NIB for much more than it orginally sold. How about the Beanie Baby craze when people would find a rare one for retail and then mark it up 1000% and resell it.

**Q: Logictech no longer makes this trackball, so are you willing to pay 10x the orginal price to have one?**
A: NO, I am NOT willing to pay 10x the original price for this simple obsolete trackball. What kind of greedy ogre is allowed to markup prices like this? Do NOT fall for this thievery. IMHO.◙ Have a happy 4th of July celebration, be careful with the fireworks, have fun, be safe.

**Q: Is $489.99 the price or is this incorrect?  If correct, good luck with that, I hope you have long term storage for it.....**
A: Well, it's an issue of supply and demand.  The product is no longer manufactured, and New Old Stock - which this is - is in limited supply.  Most of us who want or need this device will settle for a used or 'refurbished' one for a fraction of that $489.99 price, but sellers of the NOS item are asking the highest price they think they can get - and if you check around, you'll find that this inflated figure (roughly ten times its original retail price just several years ago) is in fact in the ballpark.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***Y on August 17, 2012*

I've been using trackballs for most of my life and this is definitely one of the best. It fits your hand perfectly and has a good number of buttons you can customize to your need. I use this at home and since I bought it for my work environment I have no more pain in my right palm due to the constant mouse usage. If you're having hand problems due to excessive computer work I recommend you to test this device. It comes with Logitech software which can further help you customize it to your needs. I give it a 5 star rating because it's the best "mouse" ever but there are people for who this device just doesn't click so if you have an option try it in your hand before buying.
