Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good, but not perfect
This mouse would be absolutely perfect if it weren't for a few imperfections.

First of all, having a curve where your wrist would rest isn't a good idea, and needs a cushion of some sort to be comfortable.

Also, my mouse isn't entirely smooth in movement. By that, I mean I can feel the friction from the three underlying tabs.

It would help to have some sort of scroll bar too.

All in all, this mouse has imperfections, but the enjoyment of using it surpasses the minor annoyances that are sometimes encountered.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Logitech Eliminates Strain and Improves Precision
Logitech Trackball Marble Mouse is one of the better computer accessories I have used and it offers a noticeable improvement compared to traditional computer mice. Its unique shape makes it much more comfortable and a no- sliding- necessary design eliminates the need to drag your mouse across a flat surface to move the computer pointer on your screen. To move the pointer, all you do is move the large, red marble trackball. There is less strain on the fingers and wrist, making for a more comfortable experience.

Besides the added comfort, another advantage of the Logitech Trackball Marble Mouse is that it requires less space than a traditional mouse. Because this mouse is stationary and doesn't need to be dragged across a desk or other surface, it can fit into many small spaces. You don't need to make room to drag it, so it can be placed in tight quarters. This is great for those who work in offices with limited desk space.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not suited for Macs
Logitech Optical Marble Mouse (USB/PS2)

This product is NOT compatible with Mac computers, Logitech's claim to the contrary. It cannot be programmed to simulate the Apple mouse's scrolling feature. Hence one star, BUT:

Using it with a Windows-based PC it deserves 5 stars. I have been using the older ball plus two-button mouse for 5 years and was very disappointed that I cannot use the newer four-button one with my new iMac OS 10.5. A new driver called LCC 2.6 does not repair that defect, nor will Logitech reply to comments or complaints in this regard.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Freeze sometimes. Reset mouse speed everytime I restart the computer!
Normally I won't be disappointed by my purchase from amazon, it is either cheap with median quality or a little expensive with excellent quality. But this is neither. It works well for a couple days and then it started to have problem:

1) It freezes! Sometime for 1-3 seconds, sometimes it just quit. I have a touch pad, so every time it freeze, I move on the touch pad to check whether it is freezed because of the mouse or because of the system, and the touch pad works, so it is clearly the problem of the mouse. Once it is completely freezed, I need to unplug and plug the mouse again to reactivate it. I have change with a couple USB plug and it all have the same problem. (I have another mouse working perfectly with any of my USB plug, so it is clearly not the problem with the USB plug. ) I have clean the ball a couple times a day since it starts freezing, and it is very very clean so it is not a problem of the dust.

2) I like my pointer move fast, so I set it to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best value
Bought this little gem over a year ago on a whim. As a software engineer I work a lot with the mouse at work and at home. This is by far the easiest to use and maintain. It is durable and very easy to clean. It has stood the test of time in home use with myself and 4 teenage kids using it almost constantly. It is much easier to use than the traditional mouse and one of the best investments I have made for my home computer. I am seriously considering buying another to use at work. Even though my employer supplies a mouse, I prefer this one even if it requires a little extra cost out of pocket. Very impressed.
