Digital camera reviews of Logitech Cordless TrackMan Wheel
Digital camera Review: Carpal Tunnel
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been using traditional optical mouse devices. But due to small desk space, I wanted to try trackball devices. The idea was that trackball device stays in one place so I wouldn't need much desk space. I got the Logitech Cordless Trackman and man am I ready to go back to good old mouse devices!!
Cons:
- After a day's use I am feeling pain in my thumb, and fore arm. Classic Carpal Tunnel symptoms!
- While the trackball is quick in movements, it is difficult to work with when you need to be very precise. So clicking on small buttons requires multiple attempts.
- Click 'n drag / Drag 'n drop actions are quite tricky. Not as intuitive as with traditional mouse devices.
- The device comes with a sensor that is huge. Almost the size of a mouse itself. As I said, I wanted to reduce the space required on my desk, and I ended up having gained very little!
Pros:
- It's a large device. Good for people with large hands. Provides a lot of support.
- Easy connectivity. I'm using Windows XP. Plug 'n play!
Digital camera Review: Carpal Tunnel support mouse
Summary: 3 Stars
This mouse was suggested by an IT support manager. It has helped my thumb issues but it does not have an even flow to the track ball. It took a while to get used to and the clicking portion of the mouse is not intuitive. I have to only give it 3 stars because newer ones have come out that seem better. Go use one at Best Buy to get the feel before buying. The price seemed high considering how many choices there are.Digital camera Review: Carpal tunnel gone!
Summary: 5 Stars
At the end of a long work day my wrist was always really dull and aching with really bad pain. This mouse... while it took a few days to get used to it, has made a tremendous improvement. I bought this for home and the corded one for work, they are both fantastic. After long hours of use my hand still does get a little aching but overall I am very happy with this product.Digital camera Review: Classic in need of an update
Summary: 4 Stars
A classic, ergonomic design. These devices have been very popular for years. But this product is long overdue for an update. Logitech's customer forums have dozens of requests for new versions of the thumb trackball devices, but Logitech hasn't even bothered to reply in years (one customer got an email reply acknowleding that they got lots of requests for new Trackman models).
This model uses antiquated 27 MHz wireless technology. The range is very limited, and the receiver is a large, corded blob half as big as the Trackman itself.
It doesn't have many of the buttons and features that most of the newer Logitech mice have.
PLEASE, Logitech, listen to your loyal customers and come out with some new trackball-based devices!
Digital camera Review: Comfortable
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a wireless mouse and because of space the trackball was the best idea because I can keep it in a fixed position. It took a day or two to get used to but it is very comfortable and I would recommend it to anyone.
