" ... It's super comfy, accurate with the thumb wheel, but it just doesn't register every click which is super frustrating while gaming or any other time. ... "
" ... I've looked long and hard for the perfect trackball. ... The trackball is operated by the thumb. ... There's even a left handed version. ... "
" ... This mouse is super useful and has helped with wrist strain. ... I'm on my computer for 8-10hrs a day and this has greatly reduced wrist soreness! ... It is the perfect angle and easy to adjust to, feels completely natural. ... "
" ... The feel was very comfortable and it worked fine for the first day, except it was very sensitive. ... "
" ... I loved this trackball and used it to death. ... "
" ... Anyway after I fell in love with trackballs I went ahead, and bought one for myself at home. ... It feels natural to use. ... I noticed less wrist strain then before. ... I'm sure it'll prevent wrist problems later on. ... Nothing beats this thing in comfort. ... "
" ... It has updated the technology used in the MS Trackball Explorer and the large size is almost as ergonomic. ... "
" ... I got it to replace a LogiTech Wireless trackball. ... This one is not not par with the LogiTech on feel but it works as I want. ... "

" ... The trackball is smooth and easy to clean (if needed.) ... "
" ... I love that it has a programmable button! ... Multiple options for the programmable button! ... "
" ... The buttons are very crisp and agile. ... "
" ... For the price, it's really reasonable, but I won't be using it in the long run because it doesn't fit my hand well. ... "
" ... The buttons are positioned right beneath my fingers and are wide enough so I don't have to think about which button I'm pressing or have to move them slightly to get a good press. ... The scroll wheel is typical and works well. ... The Bad - The buttons are simple cantilevers of the top surface and extend over the actuators and are EXTREMELY easy to push meaning, if you like to rest your fingers on the buttons, you are going to activate them when you don't mean to. ... This is likely an ergo thing - making buttons easier to push to prevent repetitive stress - but these are way overboard and just too easy to push accidentally. ... I prefer the Nulea M501 a bit more since I can rest my fingers on the buttons more comfortably without actuating them. ... "
" ... Perfect for a small desk setup. ... "
" ... very nice corded replacement, smaller than use to, extra programmable buttons ... "
" ... This elecom is perfect - the button configuration is very robust . ... "
