I bought these when they started making them because I had space restrictions on one computer surface and never looked back. I now have one for every computer in the house and office. The thumb trackball is so much easier than normal trackball. Couldn't be happier with precision, design, or reliability. I even converted my wife to using them!

The wheel and the left and right buttons work well but the reason I purchased the mouse was for the rollerball function and I am disappointed. It is to slow and pops up when I am moving up screen and wil sometimes leave the pointer at the bottom of the screen after I have (painstakingly) been advancing on my objective and I will have to start over again. Rather than speed my mouse use it slows me down.

When I first started getting pain in my hands from using a mouse, someone recomended the trackball. I switched over and the pain was gone. When you first start using the trackball you will hate it but after about a week of steady use, you will not be able to go back to a regular mouse.

I cannot compute without it! No pain, no stress, no fatigue. I'm a researcher/writer and am on my computer every day. I could not do my job without this TrackMan. In fact, I don't get why anyone would use a mouse that takes up room and needs a specific surface in order to function properly.

Bought this one with my last PC, in 2003. Used it for 2 years, cleaned it once and took it to my iMac in 2005.
Being technically trained, I dare to unscrew the bottom at unregular intervals. Clean the "eyes" with a softtip and alcohol, remove the buildup dust from the inside, and way you go again.
Irreplaceable. Goes to the next computer as well. Why change when there's nothing better?

I love my Trackman Wheel. It has been with me for many years, and it still behaves as the first day.
It doesn't fit perfectly each and every role of a pointer, so I keep it connected to my desktop along with an ordinary (Logitech) mouse.
I would find it hard to live without it, but not all who try it, end up loving it. Thus you might want to try it out in a shop before making the purchase.
Advantages
- very robust and durable
- more ergonomic than a mouse
- easy to clean
- can be used on all surfaces
- can be used on moving surfaces (e.g. taxi, train)
- double connection ps/2 and USB
- feels good!
Disadvantages:
- slightly less precise than a mouse in normal conditions
- not suitable for fast video games
- could use an additional button for the little finger

Here is my experience with the Trackman Wheel...
As a design engineer, for years I had problems doing CAD work. My fingers and hand would constantly cramp up after working long hours on the computer. I tried a COUNTLESS number of mice, trying to find one that would alleviate the pain and cramping. Then I found the TrackMan Wheel. Alas, SWEET RELIEF!! I didn't have that problem anymore. My guess is that because pointer movement is controlled by your thumb instead of your index/middle finger and wrist, it greatly reduces strain on those muscles. Whatever the scientific explanation, it WORKS! The shape is perfect, the performance is great, the control is smooth. It ROCKS! I now have one at my workstation at work, and one at home.
I wrote that as feedback many years ago. To this today all of it still holds true. This is a great mouse/trackball. I did have one incident where I had some upper hand/knuckle pain for about a week, but I was working more intensely than usual, and it's been the only pain I've experienced in over 6 years of using the device.
As many have mentioned there are a few things that would be nice to see as an update to this great design, namely a hyper-fast scrolling wheel, higher dpi trackball with better precision, a true cordless version with, and a few more buttons for usability/productivity.
Also, as others have mentioned, if the trackball starts to not glide as smoothly as it used to, all you need to do is pop out the ball, clean the contact points, and you're back in business. Some of the later revisions seem to use smoother/better materials for the ball contacts to keep it gliding as smooth as new.
All in all, it's been a great purchase. It really is that good.

Prior to purchasing this mouse, I had a lot of wrist pain and frequently got cramps in my fingers. Once you get used to controlling the cursor movement with your thumb, I actually think you can navigate windows quicker than with a regular mouse because you don't waste a lot of movement. Also, this product feels really comfortable even after hours of continuous use.The only complaint I have is that I wish it were easier to remove the ball and clean inside the mouse. Please continue to make this product, I would recommend it to anyone who uses a mouse a lot!

I've used the other Logitech trackball for years before switching to this one. Aside from having to relearn how to move the cursor, the left mouse button squeaks when clicked which gets annoying. The program to control the arrowspeed automatically overrides my keyboard and since my keyboard is not logitech, it no longer recognizes my media and browser nav buttons. This is the major drawback for me.

I have been using this product for many years and it is the best. My only complaint is that Logitech does not make the trackball easily removeable, like on the previous version, so that you can clean the lint from the nylon bearings. Now you are forced to disassemble the entire trackball.

I have been using this mouse for a few years now. I'm an avid World of Warcraft player. I play for multiple hours upon hours. I can't even use a regular mouse anymore. I really want one of those mice specifically for WoW, but I won't give up my trackman. I only wish Logitech made a macro mouse with the trackman, I would be in heaven.

This is arguably the best mouse product that has been developed since the inception of the PC. I recently repurchased two additional TrackMan® Wheel's for use with my other two computers. My existing two products have faithfully been in service for greater than seven years! Please continue to produce this exceptional product!

I purchased my trackball at least 10 years ago. It has worked flawlessly the entire time. When I bought it, I tried out a number of track balls. This one instantly felt comfortable in my hand. The one I am using has outlasted four computers and is ready to move to the fifth. Saved me from Carpal Tunnel problems. When is begins to behave a bit sluggishly or erratically, I just remove the four screws in the bottom and clean the sensors for the ball and around the wheel. I work in a dusty area, so this needs to be done every year or so. Be careful to pay attention to how it came apart--for some it is a bit tricky to get back together,

This product is really unbelievable. I bought mine seven years ago and it still works like new. It is very comfortable to use, easy to clean (just remove the ball and clean the sensors). I have not used competing products but it is hard to imagine than any other product can be better quality and offer better value than this one. If you use the trackball you cannot be wrong with the TrackMan Wheel.

I have used several different types of trackballs over the last 10yrs while computing 12-16hrs a day and this model gave me the best results. No carpel-tunnel and I only wore it out after 4 years (right button malfunction). Very good product.

Don't think twice about getting one of these! After exclusively using a 'traditional' mouse for too many years - I took the plunge and bought one of these. Wow - I thought I'd have to get used to it. I didn't. It fits perfectly in your hand, the pointer motion is smooth and controlled, the buttons don't click to easily and it 'plug and plays' with both my Mac and Windows machines.
I only marked it down on quality because it is lighter that it looks - not that makes a difference as it doesn't move - I just expected more weight though it is well finished and solidly built. Overall - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I've always wondered what a trackman wheel would be like, and now that I've got one, I'll never go back to anything else. I'd like it if they would make one for gamers, more buttons or such, but so far I've had no problems in games with it. It's so much better having desk space, no more mousepads.
My one thing I'd like to see added though, is perhaps finding a better way to keep grime out of the inside where the rollers are. A friend suggested a sort of brush system on the inside, spin it and the ball cleans as you do. For now though, I pop it out once a week (takes 3 seconds) and wipe it off with my fiber cloth then push it back in.
Don't hesitate get one as your next mouse. Gamer, casual user, office work? You'll love it regardless of what you do daily. (For those wondering, it does fine in FPS games, just takes some getting used to.)

This is our second Trackball Wheel and is by far the best Trackball Wheek I have ever used and is by far the best one in the market. We had our other Logitech Trackball Wheel for 10 years before it finally wore out and we will never have a different one other than from Logitech. The other Trackballs I have used on other friends pc's cannot and do not compare with Logitech. Have recommened the Logitech Trackball Wheel to all my Friends.
