Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball

I know some people who still prefer trackballs over trackpads and mice. Anyone here who uses one? I could only locate one model on Flipkart. These seems to be a disappearing breed. Any recommendations?

how did i miss this thread :tongue:i have been using this for ~1 year and if you remember, i recommended you to get this from US when your friend was coming over.@usage, you will get used to it in few days(10-15 at max) and then its really comfortable.@build quality, i am not sure whats wrong with yours, mine is fine. Of course, because of the trackball, you might think this thing is not solid, but its not going anywhere soon. Also the trackball comes off(for cleaning purposes) and that's why it feels sorta shaky.will post cons a lil later

The shaky curson thing still persists. I am guessing the USB polling rate is the problem. Have tried like 4 high quality devices on it until now. Would probably change my desktop setup early next year.

Mouse seems to work much better on the new box. So I am guessing old motherboard had some issues.
Using mouse after such a long time, it's a funny feeling.
Need to find a decent mouse pad again now.

The trackball showed red lights yesterday. I guess the batteries are running out. Today it is back to green. I guess it is time to keep a duracell battery for backup. Would hate to be stuck with a dead trackball in the middle of the night!

it runs for another ~month after giving red light so no hurry

Hehe. Got a new battery just in case. :-D

BTW, why do you need a mousepad?

 

[Sushubh]

New system seems to not have the issue with mouse that I had on the old box. That's why. :-D

What are it's pros? Over normal laser mouse

You have limited space on your desk is one pro point. Other than that it is mostly a matter of choice.
