Rated on 2008-07-22I run dual mice on my PC...plug-in base mouse, Logitech Marble Mouse, for gaming, and this one for graphics design. I've had a Logitech Marble for about 5 years and I loved it, but too basic for minute work required for graphics design, thus the second mouse purchase. I've tried using this cordless for gaming, and just doesn't do the job. Batteries run down quickly for the constant button clicking and use of the mouse, so I set the movement speed on this one much slower for exacting work and has been great for my graphics work. The ability to preset all the buttons makes my job easier and faster, and the minute detail I now get with the slow speed makes this great for baseline computer work and graphics. I do not recommend this for constant gaming though. Having two mice, one multi-button use and one base mouse, both set at different speeds, has been a great addition to my work. I gave this a 4 vice a 5 as this didn't seem to work well for me for gaming, but baseline work on my PC has been wonderful.
Rated on 2008-07-21I have been using this mouse for about 6 years now. It prevents wrist pain more that any other mouse I have used. I have ordered it for others in my department and they seem to like it also.Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman (USB/PS/2)
Rated on 2008-07-13Logitech does it again with their Cordless Optical Trackman. This is the second such unit I've purchased. I've had the first one for over 5 years. Now I have one at home and one for travel. The size of this Trackman is larger than the traditional portable trackballs, but you need a full-sized device in order to have correct ergonomic hand placement. My right hand sits perfectly over the unit so that I can use all of the function buttons. These buttons perform forward, back, scrolling up and down, and continuous scrolling functions with ease. This device enables you to reach every available area of your monitor/laptop screen. You can't get much better than that. The cost is the only "con" but you do get what you pay for!
Rated on 2008-07-10The install and Trackman worked fine, until I realized that the install had deactivated the mouse and keyboard of my laptop docking station.
The uninstall was a nightmare. After the uninstall ran and I tried a few things to get my other keyboard and mouse working again, I called customer support. We finally figured out that the only way to reactivate my devices was to uninstall my USB port, and then reinstall it as well as all the numerous devices that were attached to it. The process took about 3 hours. Amazingly, the automatic reinstal of all drivers worked without a hitch, but this very complex process should not have been necessary.
Something was wrong with the uninstall, and Logitech had not tested this important part of the product, at least not thoroughly!!!
Rated on 2008-07-09It does everything is said it would do. I was very impress how easy was to give each button (and it has many) a particular task, totally customizable. This mouse with my hand on top of it would not fit on my sliding keyboard shelf when the shelf is under the desk top (which is the way I use it when playing games and I don't need the keyboard),it seats higher than a side mounted trackball mouse. So for that reason I chose to return it, but since I threw the packaging away, I'm listing it on eBay.
