Review on ๐Ÿ–ฑ๏ธ Perixx 11568 Perimice-717 Wireless Trackball Mouse, Built-in 1.34" Trackball with Pointing Feature, 5 Programmable Buttons, 2 DPI Levels, Sleek Black by Mark Adams

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Terrible trackball, fits keyboards, mice and accessories

Uses a laser tracking system instead of a photo-optical system so tracking is terrible. I can move my thumb fast enough to lose track without performing a thumb motion. Overall, the ergonomics feel very poor compared to the old Logitech Trackman Wheel, the newer Elecom, or the M870. That little thing is annoying. The forward and back buttons look awful and are in an awkward position. The keys themselves have great feedback, but the overall design is sorely lacking. Sensitivity switches are often impractical when you frequently switch between speed and accuracy. Generally this goes into file 13 after I remove the ball from it to use in the Elecom trackball. removed, rotated to a new, unworn area, and reinserted. Too bad everything else about this trackball is rubbish.

Pros
  • System requirements: Windows 7/8/10, USB port; Perixx 12 month limited warranty included
Cons
  • Durable
