I've been using this style of Logitech trackballs for 15 years! This one is quite different - it has a heavy magnetic base, that allows for different hand positions. Nice that it's finally bluetooth and doesn't require a dongle.

Uses Kensington's trackballs, which cost as much as this, but Kensington has significantly better quality. This, however, has a thumb-ball which I think is more comfortable. Like all trackballs I tested this works for easier everyday tasks, but should you draw in CAD or anything that requires...

The mouse keeps losing connection.

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.

Some geeks of my vintage have a nostalgic fondness for trackballs, but I never managed to form such an association. Instead, I've been pretty much a dedicated mouse user since the mouse first became an option.

With its big rolypoly ball and huge hand rest, the venerable trackball mouse looks like a holdover from 1996. Or maybe 1946- that's the first time a trackball was used as an input device in a computer . Its popularity has waned since the introduction of the mouse and then the trackpad.
