Logitech® Optical TrackMan Wheel Mouse, Two-Button/Scroll, Programmable, Gray/Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this trackball three years ago. I usually have things lying around my computer and don't have the space or inclination to use a regular mouse at home. This trackball has been excellent to me the three years I have had it. I have considered buying a cordless version of the same, but I don't see a significant benefit given that I have never had to move the trackball. Reason I am writing this review is because I would like to buy another one of these for work where I use another excellent Logitech product - the VX revolution mouse. I like the trackball better.

Pros:
Can be used on any surface, you will never have to find a place for it. Keep it in your lap if you want.
No batteries and no maintenance whatsoever. The ball pops up easily if needed (I use the other end of my headphones to pop out the ball when it requires to be cleaned)
Works well in Firefox especially if you have the mouse gestures add-on installed. I have never had to move the ball much for regular web browsing.
Cons
Precision is lower compared to a regular mouse. I have a need to use software which use the Ctrl key held down while the middle mouse button is held down and the mouse dragged - this sequence is difficult with the trackball- at least on a regular basis.
Click and drag is something you will need to practice a bit before you get the hang of it.Fortunately the mouse software allows you to set a lock by clicking the middle mouse button - then it's trivial to do this operation.

I really wish this trackball had an extra button or two that could be programmed - that way I don't lose the middle mouse button functionality yet be able to use drag lock.
