Disclosure: Ive used LogiTech trackballs since the early 1990s (they were a different sort of beast back then, wired and pretty much an uncontoured little box with a ball on top); this is my third by that company (which give you an idea of how reliable they are Ive switched to new units twice but...

Brilliant mouse. Have used Logitech mice for as long as I can remember. They fit my hand well and have always proved reliable, Of course, you do have pay for quality.

I use a track ball for over 10 years. This model does let me adjust the ball movement, either is too fast or too slow. Also it does not let me pick a field and move it elsewhere in excel. The other mouses with a ball work fine. But not this one. I am still using it. I will see in the future.

Ok, you might be saying, if twisting your wrist increases discomfort, why not just buy a completely vertical mouse, so you don't have to twist at all? You can: One such device is the Evoluent Vertical Mouse , our Editors' Choice for ergonomic mice.

Pricey; Options' actions menu is unwieldy; Sculpted for righties only; Thin scroll wheel with so-so traction

There's not a lot of competition out there, so if you're looking for a solid trackball with ergonomic benefits, this is the one to buy. However, the $99 price is a little on the high side for someone looking to dip their toe into the trackball world.

Just this morning, I got a new keyboard in the mail from Amazon, then moved my custom keycaps from my previous keyboard. The same obsession extends to mice and pointing devices: I've tried 10 different mice during the past year and a half.

A lot of headlines claimed Logitech was "bringing back" the trackball with the release of the MX Ergo. For many of us, though, the trackball never left-Logitech did. The MX Ergo is coming back to a landscape where other fresh and increasingly popular options exist. The Elecom EX-G is one of them.
