Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:

The product performed fairly well but I need something to assist me in CAD software. First of all, I really need to be able to press the scroll and hold it down while I move the cursor. This proved to be difficult as it took a fair amount of force to hold it down. Doing so completely negated the ergonomics of the device as my hand would cramp after only a few hours of use.

Secondly, I was not able to move the cursor to pinpoint a specific point. As a designer, I constantly have to move to a specific point (roughly a 4-pixel cube) and this mouse made it difficult. I would have to get "close" to the point, and then take my time to fine tune my cursor position in order to select the point. This happened due to the smoothness of the track-ball, or there lack of. it seemed to jump past the point when I slowed the tracking as I got close to the point I was trying to select. This slowed down my design operation by a great deal.

When I use the mouse with anything outside my design software it worked great as I did not require the level of accuracy as I described above.

If you are a track ball aficionado, and do not work in a CAD environment, this is a great choice of mouse; otherwise, I do not recommend it.

Quick note about the unifying receiver: it worked flawlessly. I had no issues with interference or mis-communication between the device and PC.

Hope this helps, and happy hunting.

Have used a thumb wheel mouse for 10 years now, gives me greater control, easier use when traveling (airport, flying) when a desk is unavailable - with a side benefit is no one asks to use my computer ha ha -- this is the 5th rendition of the thumbwheel mouse I've used and this is model is the best - cut the wires, never a range or interference problem, battery life is outstanding - the whole family converted to this model - B&H had the best prices anywhere, shipping was very prompt, packed well - this is a purchase you won't regret

The product is used in a community theatre setting, and I liked it so much I also got one for my own private use. The sensitivity is perfect, giving me a fantastic control via this mouse. Battery life is fantastic on this thing. Easily the best wireless mouse on the market in my opinion.

I like it. I upgraded laptop & mouse. Better than it's predessesor. Happy to have it. When using the onscreen keyboard, the wireless trackball is my computer's remote control from anywhere in the room.

This trackball works great with my netbook. I don't like to use the small touch pad. I use the netbook in my lap while I take notes in counseling and just turn my touch pad off and use the track ball. I especially like the small wireless USB which is hardly noticable.

As an audio/video engineer and spend tons of time at the computer and wanted a mouse that didn't put so much strain on my hand. Most pros use trackballs of some sort but I find it hard to do precision work with a track ball and wanted something between a mouse and a trackball. Initially, it took some getting used to because the pointer is ONLY controlled with the ball, the unit doesn't move like a mouse. That said, it took a few hours and I was off and running. But like I said, I found it hard to make precision movements, so I'm back to the mighty mouse. Good product though. Buttons feel a little cheap, scroll wheel is click only but it's a good deal. If I was only using it for web surfing, word docs this would be great.

Works much better than the HP cordless mouse that came with the computer. I'm very pleased.

Only regret is I should have purhcased this a long time ago.. great buy

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:

Use it every day for work.

Way faster and more comfortable than a regular mouse.

Once you are used to a trackball, you will never use a traditional mouse again!

Works correctly in Windows 7 (Previous logitech wireless trackball was allways bugging in Windows 7)

Work wells on my Mac Mini. Install was easy and it feels more ergonomic than a typical mouse. I have some repitiive stress issues and this mouse has helped.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:

I have used the wire version of this mouse for years and now am enjoying TWO of the same wireless ones. I often switch from one laptop to another so I put a sticker on one so I can keep tell them apart but the mices have no problem sitting right next to each other but controlling different laptops. The only con is that the wheel slides a little harder then the wired one but I am used to it now.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:

I use this for both home and work. It is a great trackball and much easier than a mouse. So much so I had to get a third one for my wife since she took my home one. I may need another because my kids like the way it works.

I like that I can turn it on and off and the USB receiver fits inside the slot for easy travel.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:

The right tilted design takes a lot of stress off my wrist so it isn't sore anymore. The wireless connection helps a lot with my computer that has its USB ports right where one would put a mouse (and thus the plug and cord get in the way). Because it is a trackball, you don't need much room for it and it won't scratch up your desktop.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:

I have owned both Microsoft and Logitech trackballs and the bearings on the Microsoft Trackballs eventually failed. The Logitech deivces just keep on running and are virtually indestructible.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:

To me this is the best mouse i have ever used. I have used a number of mouse both gaming and business mouses and all pale in comparison to how accurate and comfortable this mouse is. Between its great design, good battery life, great feel and response its my only mouse that I use everywhere.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:

The mouse was delvered without a hitch. It worked out of the box syncing with the Logictech nano. This stationary mouse has given me more desktop space and works on any surface. Really programmable features and makes naigating my Windows and Mac systems a breeze. BTW it saves the battery by sleeping when not be used.....sweet.....

My Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball is used in ALL my computer system work - from upgrading the software revisions on several different PCs, to maintaining precise cursor control in all kinds of applications, video games, or just surfing the web. If you've ever gotten tired of moving that mouse around, I suggest trying this device. You control all the up-down-left-right cursor movements with your THUMB only. It has the exact same 'Left Click' & 'Right Click' buttons you now use, plus the 'Up-Down Wheel' (switch included). Besides that, it also has a couple extra buttons that default to 'Forward' and 'Back' (really handy while web surfing) or they can be assigned other application/game specific functions to make it even easier for you to use. Add to that the fact that there are no wires to tangle with, and the completely customizable controls make this device a pleasure to use. The only thing you need to do is to pop out the ball, keeping it and its socket clean, and occasionally check the indicator for the single AA battery (which lasts a LONG, LONG time), and that's all there is to it. I've used these devices extensively and I've really put them to the test - they perform beautifully... great for desktops or laptops!

I read many reviews before I purchased the M570. The only complaint was it didn't roll smoothly. Set up was very simply put the receiver in a usb slot and it work instantly. It was a little tight and scratchy feeling at first but loosened up in a very short time. After a couple of days usage it's as smooth as my 10 year old logitech thumb ball mouse it replaced. This mouse works flawlessly couldn't be happier. I was so impressed I went back and order the logitech K760 solar powered key board for mac and I'm just as impressed with this purchased also. Both purchases arrived in two days. Best price on the net and I search long and hard. Thanks B & H
