Feedback 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.
