Many people can't be used to trackballs, but I think that they operates more easily and more comfortable. It can't be used for games, but it's great for other tasks. It also has less space requirements than normal mice.Only 2 buttons and no tilt-wheel makes it less configurable than other mice. I really hope that it has tilt-wheel so I can assign the 2 buttons for other things. Actually I use gestures a lot, so this somehow remedies the problem.Engadget Reader30February 12, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I've used Logitech's trackball mice for over a decade. I have 4 of their old ones called the Logitech T-RA18. These are superior mice that only GOD knows why they discontinued it! I have now bought the M570 for a lot of money but I'm so disappointed I could cry.The T-RA18 was of a good quality build and a solid design (WHY DID LOGITECH DISCONTINUE IT??!!) the M570 is sloppy, flimsy and built with the cheapest materials they could find, WHY?!? The trackball squeaks and gets stuck and is not a smooth scroll compared with its predecessor. The discontinued model was perfect, again I ask, why did they discontinue the T-RA18!?The M570 feels like it came out of a lucky packet. It looks great but feel cheap, cheap, cheeaap!!!I am very disappointed in Logitech!!! I will now look at a Microsoft Trackball mouse because apparently, they know what QUALITY is.Engadget Reader100June 12, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader90May 25, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.

You'll be sorry. - EngadgetEngadget Reader100March 6, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!excellent product bought on suggestion of co worker was experiencing wrist burning with traditional mouse bout a cheap trackball I liked it no more burn but was not comfortable found this on newegg everyone at work that uses a trackball has now ordered one of these best trackball we've usedEngadget Reader90March 1, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!awesome trackball, the pinnacle of it's classEngadget Reader100February 16, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Accurate movementEngadget Reader80February 4, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!There's a lot to like about this in spite of a few flaws. - EngadgetEngadget Reader80January 9, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The M570 is my favorite pointing device ever.Engadget Reader80December 15, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!There's a lot to like about this in spite of a few flaws. - EngadgetEngadget Reader90November 11, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Growing up on a Trackball in the Windows 9x days, I've always had a bit of muscle memory for these devices, shifting to a traditional mouse back in 2003 always being a bit of a regret.Bring in the Trackman Marble, and now the M570, and I can't help but ask why I left in the first place. With the combination of a thumb ball and a scroll wheel, this trackball does exactly what I need without compromise. That was the one thing that always made me hesitate in using the Marble on a regular basis since I need it constantly to browse documents or work on files in the CS suite.As others have noted, the blue ball isn't as smooth moving as the red in other trackballs, but it seems to improve with time, or you adjust to it. Also, it takes a bit of training to hold your hand on it correctly at first, my own hand wanting to shift a little more to the right and miss the buttons.If you're in the market for a trackball, wireless, I think this is probably the only game in town, and it's actually a great option. The problem I have now is that I want to buy another one to take around with me, and that's another 50 dollars + tax I'm going to have to come up with.Engadget Reader100November 2, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader90September 18, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!This is one of those things that you wonder about but I have to say if you do any type of video editing where you need to make fine adjustments, this is for you. The advertised 18 month battery life (using a single AA) sounds very appealing but I haven't tested this myself.Note to OS X users: You need to download the Logitech Control Center to enable the extra mouse/shortcut buttons but that is your choice. Otherwise, one of the secondary buttons serves as an extra middle mouse button.Engadget Reader80September 12, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!There's a lot to like about this in spite of a few flaws. - EngadgetEngadget Reader100August 6, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader90May 22, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.

It isn't bad, exactly, but also doesn't do anything particularly well. - EngadgetEngadget Reader90May 16, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!This Trackman continues to evolve the Logitech trackball design in positive ways. It adds forward/back buttons near the left mouse button, wireless with a small USB plug, and of course excellent ergonomics and design. An excellent feature is battery life. It requires 1 AA battery, and seems to intelligently turn off when not in use. I put one battery in five months ago and haven't had to change it since. The only things I'd really ask for is a bluetooth version as well as incorporating some of the high end scroll wheel technology from the Logitech MX mouse series.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a trackball.Engadget Reader90March 15, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category. We highly recommend it. - EngadgetEngadget Reader100October 9, 2010Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I got this to replace the Wireless Trackman I was using on my HTPC, mainly for signal reasons. The old trackball would frequently drop signal when in any kind of comfortable position on the couch. Apparently 7ft is just too much for it. This gets rock-solid signal in any position. The two configurable buttons are also a great bonus in an HTPC setup. They make IDEAL skip-forward/skip-back buttons, and the middle-click can be configured as a Space Bar press for play/pause control. There is also a battery level indicator, which the old one didn't have, and no more "connect" button!.At $50 from Best Buy, this was totally worth it! The only two, tiny negatives I can come up with are that the form factor is SLIGHTLY shallower than the old one and doesn't hug my palm as closely. The ball is also slightly higher-friction than the older, red-balled units. The old one is now going into my netbook's bag. It seems to be able to handle 18" of distance just fine.
