Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball Mouse - Ergonomic Design for Comfort and Precision Control

frittenfred: Das Gerät selber ist exzellent; das haben hier viele schon geschrieben. Leider nur konnte ich es nach einem Windows-Update fast nicht mehr über den Logitech unifying-Empfänger benutzen: Der Computer erkannte den eingesteckten Empfänger nicht mehr. Der Gerätemanager meldete einen Treiberfehler für "Logitech Cordless Device". -- Logitech bietet als Download direkt zu diesem Gerät NUR noch die Software "Logitech Options +" an: Hiermit soll man seine Logitech-Geräte konfigurieren. Sie enthält jedoch keine Treiber für den unifying-Empfänger. -- Die Vorgänger-Software "SetPoint" dagegen enthält alle Treiber. Nur durch einen privaten Artikel im www fand ich sie nach zwei Stunden versteckt auf der Logitech-Website. Und nur damit konnte ich den unifying-Empfänger und so auch das Gerät wieder zum Laufen bringen. -- Dass ein renommierter Hersteller die erforderliche Software für aktuelle Hardware seinen Kunden nicht problemlos zur Verfügung stellt, ist ein absolutes No-Go. Deswegen leider drastischer Punktabzug.

Yves Pelletier: CONTROLER MON ORDI DE MON SAUFA SANS BOUGET LE BRAS - RAPIDE ET PRÉCI

Canada on Sep 21, 2023

Moondyne Joe: Having used a "Traditional" mouse since 1987 swapping to a trackball (Logitech M570) is a different beast, but very easy to adapt to once you build up a bit of muscle memory.

I was surprised at the size of it
(approx 2x bigger) and the weight is less than my previous mouse (Logitech M510)
Not having to chase the mouse around physically and having the trackball stationary and moving the ball only is a nice change I have found refreshing.
I have my monitor, keyboard (on a stand next to) and mouse setup on the bed so using the traditional mouse gathered alien objects over time plus it is often inconvenient to use on the materials that make up bed linen, on the bed. I constantly found myself pulling the traditional mouse apart to de fluff it.
With the trackball no need to move it around because of how it is used which also makes it more accurate, and if you do need to clean it you just pop out the ball and cleaning is very accessible.
After using it for a week the only gripe I have is, being ambidextrous I can't swap it to left or right hand but as Logitech uses a unifying dongle that allows 6 devices to be used over the one dongle I can still use the traditional...

Juan: Una vez que te acostumbras a usar un trackball no hay vuelta atrás, son mucho mejores que los ratones.

Si nunca has usado uno al principio te constará acostumbrarte porque no atinas con el puntero, ya que se mueve con el dedo, pero en cuanto le cojas el truco es mucho más rápido y preciso y no tienes que andar desplazándolo por la mesa, ni necesitas alfombrilla, ni más espacio del que ocupa porque no hay que moverlo.

Ergonómicamente son mejores porque no tienes que mover la mano ni torcer la muñeca, yo empecé a usar trackball tras tener una tendinitis de muñeca por usar el ratón.

De entre todos los trackball que he probado (de varias marcas y formatos), este es el que más me convence, antes tenía la versión con cable de este mismo modelo (de color rojo), de hecho aun lo tengo, y este es el segundo inalámbrico que compro. Hay modelos en los que se usa otro dedo (índice o anular), pero a mi personalmente me gustan más los que usan el dedo pulgar (como este).

El precio me parece alto, por el precio de este trackball puedes comprar 10 ratones de la misma marca. Puedo entender que es un poco más grande y que lleva la bola y tal vez sea algo...

Amazing Philippe: J'ai une souris gaming G502, dont je suis content, mais l'ayant adoptée pour tout, je me suis aperçu que le grip était en voie d'usure avancée. Pour la sauvegarder, j'ai donc décidé d'acheter une souris ergonomique.
Très rapidement je me suis souvenu du trackball, et quelle surprise: il n'y a presque plus d'offre !!!
Puis j'ai découvert les souris 'inclinées', et là, pas d'offre non plus, de la part des grands noms en tout cas. Que du chinois pur. Logitech va sortir son premier modèle dans quelques jours, semaines...
Finalement, j'ai opté pour une logitech M570, avec un prix promo de 30 euros... pourquoi hésiter.
Et j'ai ajouté une souris verticale, pour voir, ainsi qu'un repose poignet. Je le précise car je voulais comparer l'ergonomie.

A ma grande surprise, il s'avère que le trackball est lui aussi incliné, moins que la souris spécialisée, mais c'est notable.
L'inclinaison évite la torsion de l'avant bras, et de ce que je constate, on ne casse pas non plus le poignet, on se positionne plus naturellement aligné.

Souris gaming:
+ les boutons programmables, la précision réglable, le revêtement caoutchouc (usé...) qui donne du...

BL: I decided to enter the realm of trackballs. This decision was not predicated by me suffering from RSI. Rather it was the thought of better managing my workspace. I'm currently running a 2016 MacBook Pro with a 5K and 4K monitor. All three are fired up when working. The monitors are all set to pretty close to the highest resolutions possible. So that accounts for a lot of real estate to move through! To counter this, I was using a Logitech G502 Proteus Gaming Mouse. The thing rocked for 2 main reasons: high quality scroll wheel and high DPI (1200). This allowed me to move relatively well across the monitors. However, when doing that, I needed alot of deskspace still to move around effectively. It dawned on me that if I got a trackball and could adjust to it, I could simpilify my desk even more.

Having made this decision, I did some research and decided on trying the Clearly Superior CST2545(L-Trac), the Kensington SlimBlade, and the Logitech M57.

I've listed all the reviews for the items in this review so it is easier to compare for those that are in the market.

In the end, the CST2545 won out. And while it won, it is by no means perfect (it is a solid...

Laura: This is a review of the Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball.

The 8,000+ people who gave this a positive review before me are right. If you’re reading this, clicking the “Buy Now” button is not likely to be a decision you’ll regret. I paid full price for this on Amazon about 9 months ago. There’s many excellent videos and photos already; I couldn’t do any better.

♦BACKGROUND: Although I’m relatively young (early 30s), when it comes to using computers, I try to maximize keyboard use and minimize mouse (or trackball) use. From what I’ve observed, those who are most efficient in working with computers are this way, and I try to emulate that. I LOVE keyboard shortcuts and regularly challenge myself to adopt more (increased use of the Alt key is my current focus).

♦WHY A TRACKBALL: I took a new position at the same company recently, which involves using more web-based applications (boo). Unfortunately, most of these are not keyboard-friendly, and I was using the mouse much more to the point of experiencing hand and wrist discomfort regularly.

I remember my father having a trackball for ergonomic reasons when I was a child. It was the kind...
