TrackMan

Pros: Excellent build quality, excellent support, stylish looks, and works great!

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: A top quality product that actually improves your computing experience

Review: I bought this Trackerball around 3-4 years ago, when I was starting to get wrist pains from using mice or glidepads all the time. I thought it was a little 'snazzy' for use at work (silver with a red LED), but the rest of the package seemed great,...

Pros: Hearty construction takes years worth of beatings and continues to work like new.

Cons: None. Its for real. None!

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended from this graphic designer. It boils down to preference but this product is top of the line!

Review: I am a graphic designer. My work demands that I have excellent input hardware that will take a beating and still function properly. A few years ago I was also a gamer on top of my regular graphic design routine. Needless to say, I spend a LOT of...

Pros:
Spares Your Wrist.
Scrollwheel.
USB & PS/2 Compatible.
Small Footprint.
800dpi Optical Tracking.

Cons:
Needs Cleaning.
Plastic Nodes Instead of Metal Bearings.
No Heft.
Leaves Thumbs Sore.
Right Handed.

The Bottom Line: A good inexpensive right-handed mouse for those who don't want to hurt their wrists. It isn't for hardcore gamers.

Review: The Race Track...
My father was starting to stress his wrist out from constant computing. (Hardwood Spades addict) He also had extremely limited space to work with on his desk. He wanted an alternative to the conventional mouse. We went...

Pros: Comfortable and easy to use, with very precise control.

Cons: Impossible to use with left hand.

The Bottom Line: If you only have one pointing device, this should be it. Precise control, superior comfort, and competitive price make the Logitech Trackman the easy choice.

Review: I have been using the various iterations of the Logitech Trackman for many years. These trackballs are extremely precise due to their optical tracking system: The balls have small dots on them, and an optical sensor tracks the movement of these...

Pros: Eliminates arm & shoulder pain
Precise ergonomic control
For use in limited spaces

Cons: Initial awkwardness
Learning curve to use this mouse
Right hand only

The Bottom Line: While it takes some getting used to, the reward is worth the effort.

Review: Bread pudding for desert? Or Bread & Water for the prisoner?
Most of the reviews I have read about the Logitech Trackman Trackball Mouse have ranged from good to the best thing since sliced bread. Obviously from the number of stars in my...

Pros: Comfort and ease of use, no fatigue even after hours, attractive appearance.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: Better than a mouse, and a must for users logging long hours in front of a screen

Review: I've been using my Trackman wheel for at least three years, and have yet to come up with even a single complaint.

Ergonomics

The Trackman is designed to accomodate your hand in a resting position, with the edge of your...

Pros: -Nice, Responsive Ball -Needs no configuring for basic features -Looks great

Cons: -A bit small

The Bottom Line: An excellent pointing device, beats the pants of a mouse any day.

Review: You could call me a computer nut . Enter my desktop, and you will see, from a distance, a desk, computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse. Get a little closer, and, on the monitor, you ll see I m running Linux. After that initial (small shock), try...

Pros: Build quality, mouse shape, natural hand curl and positioning of the wrist

Cons: Thumb-actuated trackball kills the thumb muscles with unnatural motion

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for an ergonomic replacement for the mouse, look further. The thumb actuated trackball will likely cause more problems in the future.

Review: I work at the computer as part of my job. Recently I've been feeling pain in my wrist and palm using my mouse (Logitech MX1000) and have since been looking for an ergonomic solution. Websites and some coworkers have recommeded a trackball as...

Pros: Ergonomic, CHEAP, surprisingly well-built, precise operation.

Cons: Annoyingly sensitive right mouse button

The Bottom Line: Definitely buy it, but keep the receipt handy just in case. The right-click mouse problem I've described may be what makes you want to return it, but take heart.

Review: I have had my Trackman Marble since December, and I must say that it is remarkably easy to use, and a wonderfully precise instrument. I have a laptop, and the touchpad, while good, gets annoying at times, to the point where I'm frustrated with it. I...

Pros: Excellent design improvements, easy to clean, responsive buttons.

Cons: Takes getting used to, only comes in gray.

The Bottom Line: If you like trackballs it's one of the best. Go to a store where you can put your hands on one to see if the design works for you.

Review: When my father purchased our first Internet capable computer in 1999 he insisted on getting an ergonomic trackball instead of a mouse because of his carpel tunnel issues. It took me a while to get used to the trackball, but once I was familiar with...
