The Logitech is a wireless mouse that lets you control your laptop, desktop computer or home theater PC from up to 30 feet (10 meters) away. Its USB receiver plugs into the USB port on your computer and remains unobtrusive to offer continuous connectivity. It employs a laser tracking method for precise tracking on a variety of difficult surfaces.
This mouse offers a built-in scroll wheel for speedy navigation through documents and websites, as well as back and forward buttons. With an adjustable laser sensor, you can customize the amount of control you have. The M570 is powered by a single AA battery that lasts for an estimated 18 months. Featuring a compact footprint, this mouse is ideal for portable use and can tag along wherever you go. It's even easy to clean, as the trackball pops out for cleaning.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:
I am a Final Cut Pro Editor. I purchased the slim blade by Kensington based upon some reviews I read on B&H.
I have 2 Kensington track balls this would have been my 3rd. I was looking for control buttons that I could program. I went with the Kensington thinking I would have the most flexibility. I received the order and started to use right away and it was smooth but I never got the chance to really use it because it quit working after about a week. Very disappointing. I returned to B&H they have great customer service! Got the RMA and had the Logitech in a week. This is a good reason to go with B&H and not the cheaper guys on the web. If you have a problem they will take care of you!
I decided to try out the Logitech and I am very happy. There is no wireless lag with any of the commands. It has taken a little to get used to adjusting speed ect becaus of the thumb style control. The only thing is that I wish there were a few more buttons I could program. Over all I am satisfied.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:
Have used many trackballs over the years, and really preferred the Microsoft Optical Trackball. However, when that was no longer available, I decided on this trackball. I currently have 2 of these, and both function very well. The compact size (in comparison to the Microsoft version) took a little getting used to, but now I prefer the smaller size.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:
I love this trackball particularly for Lightroom. I purchased Logitech's first version in which the ball wall in the middle. After a while my index finder started hurting. The m570 solved the problem by putting the ball on the left side.

I have my laptop in the den so I can sit in my recliner and surf. When I need to work on Photo Shop I have a 24 inch LED monitor in the next room and I have a hdmi cable going to it so all I have to do is to carry my wireless trackball to the next room where I also have a wireless keyboard. That way I don't have to uplug and replug the power and move the laptop. Fast and easy.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:
I have dual 1920x1080 monitors and it's fast zipping around. With no wrist movement it's more comfortable than a mouse.
It didn't work very well with the receiver plugged in the back of the computer. Works very well with the receiver plugged into the front.

I use this on my business computer. I have always used a trackball and decided to try this one for the wireless capability. I really like it. One less wire on the desk. Very easy to set up and it works great. Very fast response speed to the ball movement

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:
There are several types of track balls out there and they are few and far between. this model is what I have used since its inception and I have several as backups should they cease to produce. they work. They are reliable and they are easy to clean on the rare occasions you might need to. Unconditional thumbs up!!

I love the fact that you don't have too move the mouse around. That's such a pain! It stays stationary, and you just roll the ball around. It even has a battery indicator!

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:
No muss, No fuss. Plug and play...even comes with the battery installed (Just pull the tab out to make contact) Much more comfortable than a mouse, and useable in less space. Now I just hope the batteries last longer than my mouse's did.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:
I bought the device to replace an older Logitech trackball, it worked without problems when I inserted the mini USB controller into my ASUS laptop which I previously purchased from B&H. I would have given it five stars, however this model is a bit smaller than my previous trackball. It works great drawing floor plans and network topology sketches with VISIO.

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:
I bought this trackball for my photo editing computer only.It replaced a regular M510 mouse.
The M570 is fantastic! Quick response, nice feel, good ergonomics. The large ball is great!
My only "delta" is that when trying to use the trackball to increase/decrease the size of a "area of influence" for CS4/NIK Viveza2, there is not much control but not a reason not to buy it!

Comments about Logitech M570 Laser Wireless Trackball:
Logitech only made the trackball better with wireless capability. I used the wired trackball for years before buying this one. I don't remember reading but it shuts off by itself, it's a good thing because I never remember the tiny switch on the bottom. Also B&H had the best price, don't even bother with the auction site.
