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.

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

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.

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.

This is the second Logitech trackball mouse for me. I am very happy with this purchce because I now can use 2 computers, one with USB and the other with Bluetooth which I never thought I was going to do that. Feel like it's a bonus.

I have used logitech trackballs for years now since the old PS2 connectors.
this one does not disappoint in anyway. I have used for about a week and it's very comfortable and love being able to control two computers. I have used logitech trackballs for years now since the old PS2 connectors.

At first it wasn't awesome on a 4K monitor, but I soon tweaked the pointer speed and after a day I am used to it. Definitely makes a difference to shoulder and wrist strain. Seems very well built, but like any mouse I would not expect it to last more than 2-3 years of daily use. Was going to give 4 stars the as the Logitech Options software is not awesome, I miss the acceleration settings on the old Setpoint. But this is totally worth 5 stars regardless :) At first it wasn't awesome on a 4K monitor, but I soon tweaked the pointer speed and after a day I am used to it.

HI,

I've' been using these trackballs for years now including for gaming and they are lifesaver and preventer of the Carpel tunnel syndrome.
The receiver on the older models was a bit weal, but that has been fixed with the newer models. HI,
