As a long time Logitech trackball user (several M570s up to now) I was hesitant buying the MX Ergo as it was so much more expensive than my previous devices. However I can see where the extra cost has gone as the MX Ergo is solidly constructed with a few nice touches that make me feel that what I paid was justified. Dual input (Bluetooth & USB unified wireless) is a nice touch and the DPI selector is great for detailed work. The extra weight of the angle plate at the base gives the MX Ergo a reassuring heft and the finish is much nicer than the plastic of my previous M570.

Yes, it is expensive. Yes it is worth it. As a long time Logitech trackball user (several M570s up to now) I was hesitant buying the MX Ergo as it was so much more expensive than my previous devices.

Works seamlessly in my Linux system. I have used around 2 week now, is very comfortable to use and accurate. I am very happy. Works seamlessly in my Linux system. I have used around 2 week now, is very comfortable to use and accurate. I am very happy.

I've been a trackball user of different brands over the years now, 10 + years I'd say, and I always tell people, once you go track, you don't go back!

Having worn out the Logitech M570 (two of them!) I finally decided to treat myself and get the MX Ergo - and seriously, it's worth every damn cent.

The review guide lines say to include pros and cons - but I can only include one con - it does not come with a little pouch or bag to keep it in, because I treasure it. Buy yourself a small camera bag, store it in that, enjoy it forever and ever.

Great upgrade from the logitech m570 Great upgrade from the logitech m570

If your hand, wrist or arm is getting sore using a mouse, you could opt for an ergonomic one. But it's still a mouse. Why not try a trackball instead?

I was getting a very sore wrist from my laptop touchpad and regular mouse, but after getting the MX Ergo the pain has gone (been using it about 3 weeks). The full and rounded shape feels great under the hand, which can completely relax because it doesn't need to grip the device to move it around like a mouse. Only the thumb moves.

It's also nice to have the option of tipping it almost flat, or tipping it over on an angle.

It's also nice to have the option of tipping it almost flat, or tipping it over on an angle. Choose whichever suits you best, or change position every now and then. Note that the mechanism uses magnets, so just keep it a little distance from a laptop or external hard drive.

It doesn't take long to get used to a trackball. I don't think I will ever be quite as fast with it as with a mouse but the difference is slight, plus it's awesomely quick with dual screens because you can spin the ball (and therefore cursor) right across from one side to the other. And I'd gladly swap a little speed for comfort.

This is a perfect replacement, very well designed. And in my opinion suited well for CAD and Photoshop work especially with the programmable buttons. For my the tracker ball only took a few hours to master and when programmed the unit sold it self. This is a perfect replacement, very well designed.

Great upgrade from M570, and love the 20 degree tilt feature (note that it's either 0 or 20 degrees, nothing in between - the blurb is a little misleading on that)
Only used for about a month so far, so can't comment on battery life but it certainly charges fast.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking at a trackball mouse and PB Tech's service is second to none. Great upgrade from M570, and love the 20 degree tilt feature (note that it's either 0 or 20 degrees, nothing in between - the blurb is a little misleading on that)

Replaced my former trackball (Logitech M570) with this one. This new one solved the problem of the old one (jumpy after many years of use), but I have a new problem as the ball doesn't roll well on this one. I have to roll it several times to get across the screen, whereas the old ball rolled fast and smooth, across the scree in one go. Not sure if it is a one-off defect needing replacement, a design issue or a loss in quality since my last purchase. Saw mixed reviews before purchasing but tried anyway. Don't know where to find a more ergonomic trackball. I've tried a few designs. I would try again with Logitech and might exchange this one...view more Replaced my former trackball (Logitech M570) with this one.

I had never used a trackball before but have been struggling with bursitis in my shoulder and using my regular mouse was causing more pain than I could bear by the end of the day. My daughter suggested a trackball mouse and and I'm so glad she did. It's amazing, the difference I can feel in my arm now. It feels far more natural to me to use the trackball mouse functions and I'm so glad I made the switch. I doubt I'd ever go back to using a regular mouse again.

Bought the Ergo in February of 2021 from PB Tech and have noticed a significant reduction in wrist strain especially during long audio editing sessions. Slight learning curve but after a day using the mouse became fairly natural. Tried multiple types of upright mice but the Ergo was most comfortable for me as I hardly move my wrist at all.

After several years, my Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball started to multiple click (unwanted, making click and drag impossible) due to a degrading microswitch. On special, PBTech's Logitech MX Ergo Trackball was a few dollars more than replacing the M570 and significantly cheaper than all retailers on AliExpress.

Much heavier, the Ergo is much more stable, a delight to use. Redesign means it is much easier to grasp and move around (dropped my slippery M570 several times). Being so very used to the M570, I don't (yet) find the expected 'improved comfort' due to the tilting of the device. The ability to change cursor speed (resolution) with a button on the Ergo is magic. My only (small) concern is that many times I have had to Left Click several times to perform the select operation (the opposite of my original M570 woes - which became unusable).

I have been using the Logitech M570 trackballs for years and have loved them. I bought the MX Ergo because of it's connectivity options, since my new laptop has USB C ports rather than USB A. The trackball feels nice in my hand and the buttons are well placed. It was easy to connect and setup with the Logitech software. I like the fact that I can change the angle of the trackball.

Even though it is significantly heavier than the M570, it's still very portable and I can easily carry it with the laptop. It also sits nicely on the desk and doesn't slide around.

I would recommend this product. I have been using the Logitech M570 trackballs for years and have loved them.
