Review on Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 Renewed by Mateusz Brd ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not all that bad, but there are minuses.

With a small range of similar devices on the market and a fairly high cost, Logithech produces an unreliable and cheap-feeling thing. For a company like this, it's a disgrace. Other Logitech mice, with much more extensive use, have served me for years before button problems started. Of course, I revived the trackball by soldering the left key switch (Omron D2FC-F-7N came up), and fixed the ball seat so that it would not hang inside the case. But I'm unlikely to recommend this device to anyone or buy it again in case of a final breakdown.

Pros
  • Comfortable for the hand shape of the trackball body. The wrist stopped hurting, as it did after working with a mouse for a long time.
Cons
  • The ball quickly gets dirty, you have to clean it and the supporting places at least once every two or three days. The cost is high, and the build quality and components are low (for a company like Logitech). Right out of the factory packaging, the trackball rattled like a rattle, because the seat for the ball - a separate plastic part - was poorly fixed inside the case. This does not affect the operation of the device in any way, but it completely kills the feeling of a holistic well-assembled thing. Just 10 months after purchase, the left key switch broke - double pressing began.
