I should have looked better, I spent money on an ordinary product.

I really tried to come to terms with it. I changed the speed settings, lowered them twice from what I was used to - from 12 to 7. I turned on the "increased pointer setting accuracy", which is unusual for me, but allows the trackball to be more accurate (I recommend everyone to try with this setting). I tried to get used to switching to precise mode - it lowers the cursor speed by about five times, but I was not ready to turn it on and off every time. I changed this mouse in the store three times, in the hope that I got a marriage, but they all suffered from this problem, to a greater or lesser extent. The bearings (or whatever you call it) were clean. And I called Logitech support - they advised me to return it, and I returned it. But the trackball on the exhibition copy in the store rode as if greased and had no such problem. I'm assuming this is a marriage of the party or how else can this be explained?

This is the main problem that I could not come to terms with in 10 days. There are others, for example - because of the bevel, the scroll is convenient to click to the right, but inconvenient to the left, because on this side it sticks out less. The scroll is also very tight on pressing, I have not seen such ones yet. Yes, and saved Logitech on it, they could put their own magnetic scroll, as in many other MXs, even cheaper ones. And this mouse costs 6500-7000, after all, above average, as for me.

Pros

First about the good. As for the position of the hand and the use of the main buttons - the mouse is almost perfect, and it's hard to please me with ergonomics, after the Logitech Performance Mouse MX 2022, I don't like any mouse for ergonomics. None at all, but there were many. With the same almost complete comfort, the hand rests. I got used to the trackball on the very first day, as if I had muscle memory, and this is my first trackball. At first there were slight pains in the joints of the thumb, the next day everything went away. Normal materials, good software. Doesn't slip on the table.

Cons

And now for the bad. The trackball jumps when it falls. On the horizontal axis from a stationary position, it is impossible to move the trackball without a jump. He's not smooth. If, for example, you need to select the text with the mouse and you need to do it up to a letter, then there will be problems with this. After a stationary state, it will not be possible to move the mouse a half millimeter or a millimeter, the cursor will twitch two or three millimeters at the standard cursor speed. The cursor jumps. I hope I explained clearly. But when moving vertically, everything is smooth. Apparently because when moving horizontally, all friction falls exactly on one lower "bearing".
