 Great Product November 19, 2008
This is my second Logitech Trackball. I loved my first one so much that when it finally gave out, I had to have another just like it. Highly recommended!
Get one! November 19, 2008
Outstanding. I use one at home and work and have for years. The thumb movement may feel odd at first if you're used to another style, but it quickly becomes a preferable method.

Logitech Cordless TrackMan Wheel
This is my second Logitech track ball. The first was the corded version. It worked seamlessly for many years. I eventually passed it on to another eager owner. Due entirely to my decision to upgrade to the cordless world. I purchased a Logitech cordless keyboard (another story) & the Logitech cordless track ball. The cordless version is similar to the older corded version. Most of the functions remain the same. The ball is easier to clean in that you can simply pop it out of the socket by inserting a pencil eraser from below & giving it a little nudge. The older corded version you had to remove a ring that retained the ball in place. The detent to turn the ring was tiny & not easy to use. So this is an improvement in that area.
The software was easy to load, directions are simple & the software worked first time out. When the battery loses power the functions on the screen simply do not work as well in response to the ball commands, if at all. I have discovered the easiest way to change the battery is to take the track ball to another room, out of range of the receiver, swop out the battery & return to your computor. The trackball works seamlessly once again. You do not have to power down the computor nor re link the track ball to the receiver.
I would categorize the piece as very easy to load, use, & completely reliable. I much prefer the ergonomics & functionality of the trackball vs a conventional mouse in any version. One cavaet, keep spare batteries around.
Awesome trackball November 16, 2008
I am apparently one of the few people on Earth who prefers trackballs to mice, so the trackball selection is quite limited. I formerly had a Logitech (corded) TrackMan Wheel, and had it for several years before it finally died. I got this as a replacement, and it's even better. The cordlessness means I can move it around my desk as I please, and if I decide to take my laptop off my desk and, say, to the couch, the reciever doesn't care. The reception is excellent, even able to pick up the signal from across the room and through a door. Though for some reason it stops if it gets too close to my cat.
Anyway, it's a great trackball made even better by being wireless.
 Trackball is fine, but transmitter/receiver is big November 8, 2008
I've had cordless mice/trackballs before, but never one where the part that plugs into the computer is so big (maybe 4" x 4" x 1", plus a cord). I bought it to use with my laptop, and now I have to carry an extra piece that's bigger than I thought. It's not worth shipping it back, but next time I'll try to find a picture of the whole thing before I buy!
