" ... I'm so glad to have a trackball mouse again. ... I used to use the Logitech trackball long time ago when they first came out and loved them but I lost the ball a few years ago and have been using a regular mouse since then. ... I'd also like to add that customer service was very helpful and quick to send me a new mouse when I realized that there was a missing part that was keeping the ball from rolling smoothly. ... "
" ... great wireless mouse. ... "
" ... Love this mouse, have purchased a half dozen over the years, replacing ones I dropped or adding to additional computers at home or work ... "
" ... Interesting design for tracking ball mouse. ... "
" ... if you flick the ball, unlike EVERY MOUSE EVER, the cursor just sits . ... "
" ... I got this to replace my corded trackman marble mouse. ... While no mouse will ever be as loved as that trackman, I really wanted to be cordless, so this is doing a good enough job. ... "
" ... Great little mouse for a laptop I highly recommend it ... "
" ... Wireless has improved so much that I use this mouse for gaming. ... "

" ... Really bad design and not Ergonomic at all. ... I used it for a few days and my tendinitis is back and my hand is flared up! ... "
" ... I used to have the "wired Orbit Trackball" and loved it a lot so after many years of use it failed and I bought this one. ... The Scroll slider is not smooth and in my opinion is the worst feature on this trackball. ... But they way it is now, I do not recommend this trackball. ... "
" ... The whole point of a trackball (besides not needing any surface area) is its ergonomics, but the button placement on this trackball is off just enough that my hands get tired after daily use. ... "
" ... A tad bit awkward to use at first. ... "
" ... So uncomfortable my hand cramps up. ... "
" ... First off, the right side button is as big as the left but you have to slide your fingers pretty far back to get a click and the right key is very stiff in its action. ... "
" ... Scroll feature is not comfortable. ... "
" ... I have used Kensington trackballs for years and have always liked them but this one, with the noise, is very irritating. ... "

" ... But, with these, the buttons are on the side of the mouse. ... Had the buttons been right next to the ball, it would have been fine. ... I kept pressing the right and left buttons wrong and got a ton of sub-menus and even trying to X them out was a challenge. ... "
" ... The buttons are awkwardly placed over "cliff" on either side, resulting in many failed right-clicks because the button is not on top. ... The scroll ring is not sensitive at all and scrolls very slowly, and there are no extra buttons to map to emulated scrolling using the trackball. ... "
" ... this doesn't even have a scroll ! ... "
" ... but I'm pretty sure I can assign one of those buttons as a scroll lock and then use the trackball itself. ... "
" ... Using on a Surface Pro 3 - cursor jumps without warning, scrolling is erratic, button for thumb is not in a convenient spot. ... "
" ... My only complaint is the scroll ring. ... "
" ... The scroll function is not usable and the range is very limited. ... "
" ... First off, the right side button is as big as the left but you have to slide your fingers pretty far back to get a click and the right key is very stiff in its action. ... The scroll doesn't want to stop either. ... You have to remember to button click on Anything nearby to get the scroll to stop. ... "

" ... Disappointed it has stopped working properly. ... "
" ... I've had the use of this little trackball for about 6 months. ... "
" ... but its still working now despite falling apart so I can't mark it 1 star. ... "
" ... After several weeks of trying to use it, I will probably trash it and buy another device. ... "
" ... HAD IT FOR JUST 4 MONTHS AND IT DIED. ... "
