I’ve been using this mouse for years now and wouldn’t trade it for any other mouse out there. The only time I switch to a regular mouse is when playing shooters, the trackball isn’t very good for quick and accurate back and forth movements… it’s not very good with any sort of quick and precise actions. Most of the time it’s not an issue, the only time it does become one is when playing shooters, the quick response these games require is not suitable for this sort of mouse.
My favorite thing about this mouse is that it has such a tiny footprint, the size of the mouse itself is all you need to accommodate for. Since there’s no need to give a few inches in each direction for mouse movement that space can be used for other stuff. When working on my machine or some other occasions when my table is completely covered with stuff and there’s no room for a mouse it’s not an issue, I can rest the mouse anywhere (usually my lap) and use it that way.
One, very tiny, nitpick I have found after all these years is that since the ball is up on top, and exposed from the top, all sorts of dust and dirt get inside. It’s not a major issue, I just occasionally (maybe 2 or 3 times a year) pop the ball out and give the inside chamber a nice wipe down with a piece of cloth making sure the optics and the rollers are clean, and it feels like new again.
ReplyI’ve been using that mouse for everything. I’ll never go back to a normal mouse after i used the M570. I don,t understand your comment about shooters, though. I’ve been playing lots and lots of different games so far with this mouse and i never experienced anything you mentionned about shooters, quite the opposite, in fact. What you need is the Logitech SetPoint software. You can adjust everything with it, and trust me, after you adjust it for some faster movement, you’ll never go back to a traditionnal mouse.
