Our favorite trackball [Posted on 2008-07-03]
This is the second time we have purchased this type of trackball. The first finally wore out after years and years of wonderful service. This is the only type of trackball we would ever use and have recommended it to others.
Useful for carpal tunnel and other ailments [Posted on 2008-07-06]
I have purchased this mouse for every computer I use on a regular basis. I have arthritis in both hands and tendonitis in my right arm, and use of a regular mouse is impossible for me. I can use this mouse with either hand, though it does function differently from a regular mouse and takes some getting used to. However, the mouse works perfectly with PC and Mac and is worth every penny.
Marble Mouse [Posted on 2008-07-07]
My old trackball broke. Bought this one to replace it. Works just as well as my old one did. Plan on keeping it for many years.
Love the marble mouse [Posted on 2008-07-17]
I have been using the Logitech Marble Mouse for quite a few years now. It is great and there is no way I could go back to using a regular mouse after using this one. I think anyone who purchases this item will love it.
Best "mouse" you'll ever buy. [Posted on 2008-07-19]
I'm a long time (since these were originally introduced in the 1990s) user of the Marble Mouse and hands-down, it beats any mouse or trackball I've ever used.
The fingertip control means no need to move the mouse or your wrist, cutting down on the risk of repetitive motion injuries and saving desktop space (important if you use a desk like mine that has next to no space for a mouse). Action is smooth and the buttons hold up for years--I replace mine on average of around 5 years or so (this will be my 3rd). Cleaning out the socket is easier than a standard mouse as you have full access to all the hardpoints and electronic eye inside, ensuring you get every bit of dirt out when it comes time to clean it.
While I'm not a heavy-duty gamer, I have used this a lot with a wide variety of games and in fact find it wholly invaluable for 1st-person shooters (currently playing Fable: TLC and the smooth movement and lack of need to pick it up and move it back makes fight sequences much smoother). If there's one complaint it's that there is no mousewheel function (which some games make use of) nor any 3rd mouse button; but these are relatively minor complaints for all it's good points.
The two added navigation buttons, to be honest, I almost never use so I can't comment on them. I typically use this without the installed Logitech software; I did at one point but the added features did little for me, so I mostly use it as a standard PS/2 mouse.
All in all, you can't go wrong with this one, and I highly recommend it for casual, business and gamer uses alike.
