Digital camera reviews of Logitech Optical Marble Mouse (USB/PS2)
Digital camera Review: Discontinued
Summary: 1 Stars
This item is a discontinued item and if you have a problem Logitech will not help you. Suggest you get the less expensive one which IS still manufactured.Digital camera Review: Does not last long
Summary: 3 Stars
I love this style of mouse but the problems that I have had is they quit working after only a few months. This is the fourth one I bought in three years.
If I did not like it so much I would switch to something else. It is just so easy for me to use.
Digital camera Review: Don't Lose Your Marble(s)
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought my logitech marble mouse a month ago. It didn't take long to get use to using. Even though it has a cord --- it doesn't move around on the desk like a typical mouse so the cord isn't getting caught up. I don't have to worry about table space to roll around like a mouse. And most of all, I am left-handed -- this is universal. Not going to lose my marble(s)!Digital camera Review: Don't buy this junk!
Summary: 1 Stars
This track ball is worthless. I had one like it that worked great for over five years before the buttons quit working smoothly. So I bought a new one but it hasn't worked properly since day one. The pointer will just take off across the screen on it's on. It has a jerky action when moving the pointer to a new location. I tried downloading the Logitech software but it didn't help at all. Junk!Digital camera Review: EDIT: Not compatible with Vista
Summary: 4 Stars
I consider myself something of a power-user: In addition to the mouse, I also use keystroke commands for various applications. My father also uses a mouse left-handed, which made me consider using the trackball with my left hand -- and still use a mouse with the right.
In short, I have a great setup. I can now alternate how I interact with my computer, and reduce repetitive motion. The symmetrical trackball allows me to use my left hand, and the Logitech marble mouse places the thumb on the primary click key. The scrollwheel *is* missing, but, with two *raised* buttons near the primary and secondary (ie. right and left) click keys, you program one of the raised buttons. (I would initially recommend the up/down Autoscroll over the up/down/left/right Universal scroll configuration.) This leaves the secondary raised button for as a "function key" for whatever purpose you like. For example, if you regularly shop on Amazon, you may end up programming it as the Back button. Myself, I have it set as the Enter key, so I neither have to drag the mouse to the OK button (inconvenient), nor use my other hand to hit the Enter key (laziness!).
And, as said, my back problem is gone! With a USB hub, you can easily set up your desk to use both the track ball and a mouse. Use whichever you feel like to break up the repetitive motion!
