Review on Renewed Logitech MX ERGO Advanced Wireless Trackball for Windows PC and Mac by Haissam Abo Fahd ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

At the time of writing, I have owned a trackball for 7 months. Prior to this, there was no experience of regular work on the trackball, so there were certain doubts. But the whining of the tendons in his right hand hinted that something had to be done with an ordinary mouse. First impressions of the trackball - you wave the thing! Big, hefty. It is good to put your hand and not fidget with it, arranging it comfortably. Tactile is very pleasant, does not slip under your hand or on the table. It took some time to get used to the logic of work. 4 days max. The laptop is used exclusively for work, I can’t say what it’s like to play shooters on a trackball. For quieter games or office applications, it is extremely convenient: the hand lies in one place, only the fingertips move, the wrist rests. Over time, a gel pad was also bought to relieve the pressure of the table on the pisiform bone. It got really good. A device that does not crawl on the table is a lot of different advantages. For example, you don’t need to clear a place for a work area: fill up everything with papers or something else. And you can also plug in the charging wire and not think that it interferes with something, turning the device into a wired one. For all the months of use, I charged 3 or 4 times. Charges quickly, Win10 itself warns of low battery. The Logitech Options proprietary shell provides a large number of possibilities. In different applications, you can customize the behavior of the keys and this is extremely convenient. For example, I set the "accuracy" button in the browser to close the tab, in Adobe Audition - to delete the selected fragment, and in Flash and Figma the default mode. The trackball can be paired with two devices. But, what is even cooler, you can work in Flow mode simultaneously on two computers. Impressive, although I did not find any practical application for myself. The ball in the trackball is clogged with dirt, you need to clean it often. To do this, he simply pulls out. And that's why my ball got lost when the trackball fell on the plane. I had to order a trendy red on Amazon. It cost about 1
