Product Description

Take advantage of the superior precision and maintenance-free operation of optical technology. With a sleek design and intuitive placement of the ball, scroll wheel, and buttons, the TrackMan Wheel is perfect for long hours of use.

Summary

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, so I...

Strength

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

Weakness

None

Bottom Line

A top quality product that actually improves your computing experience

Summary

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 time at...

Summary

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 dots...

Strength

Comfortable and easy to use, with very precise control.

Weakness

Impossible to use with left hand.

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.

Summary

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 typing...

Strength

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

Weakness

-A bit small

Bottom Line

An excellent pointing device, beats the pants of a mouse any day.

Summary

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 solution,...

Strength

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

Weakness

Thumb-actuated trackball kills the thumb muscles with unnatural motion

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.

Summary

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...

Strength

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

Weakness

Annoyingly sensitive right mouse button

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.

Summary

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 it I...

Strength

Excellent design improvements, easy to clean, responsive buttons.

Weakness

Takes getting used to, only comes in gray.

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.
