Is The Trackman Trackball Mouse By Logitech Right For You?
This will depend a great deal on how you wish to utilize the trackball mouse. The difference between a regular mouse and the Trackman mouse is more form than function. The regular mouse had a ball on the underside of it that moves along a surface such as a mouse pad (an optical mouse moves the same way but replaces the ball with optics). The Trackman Trackball mouse has the ball on the top side, this means the mouse stays stationary and you move the ball itself with your finger.
If you are using a laptop and or you have limited desk space, the Trackman Trackball mouse is perfect for your needs. You can set it in one spot and perform all the tasks a normal mouse needs room for. Because the mouse stays stationary and is large enough to rest your hand completely, you have much less stress on your arm, fingers, and elbows; this allows for longer use time with less fatigue.
If you are a gamer, the Trackman Trackball mouse is superb, it is responsive, comfortable and easy to use (unless you are left handed). It is accurate and responds to even your slightest movement. Because the ball is under your thumb, the control is in that much more delicate, controlled member, rather than in your wrist which is a much more ‘broad stroke’ set of muscles.
This mouse is for people with large hands. I am a small woman with small hands and this mouse is way to wide for comfort and actually strains my wrist and shoulder more. If it were only smaller it would be much better.
