MicroPack Wireless Trackball Mouse, 2023 New Upgrade Ergonomic Mouse with Wireless Vertical Rollerball Computer Mouse, 3 Adjustable DPI, Easy Thumb Control for PC, Laptop, Mac, Windows - Black

My logi mouse went crazy and needed a replacement, plus my hand hurt after long use, so I started looking for a vertical mouse. The Logi Lift is a natural candidate, but this cheaper alternative is quite intriguing, so I decided to give it a try before I buy the more expensive Logi. This one seems a keeper. Hand hold feel very comfortable.Initially, I feel my hand has to move a lot more to get the mouse move (for not so precise work), but after I adjusted the DPI setting, it seems more responsive now. Still feel more time to get used to, but no significant negative feeling. The click is very light and quiet, if that is what you looking for. I used it at home and somewhat prefer stronger click feedback. But again, I see he benefit of quiet operation as well.Don't know how long this will last. However, even the more expensive Logi will break eventually. So, my initial feeling of this product is very positive. Will update if things change.

I have a month already with it, and it works perfectly as expected.

Ive been using this for months now. I think its helping a lot with my wrist but it keeps turning off and not turning back on. I've missed multiple calls at work because my mouse falls asleep and does not wake up until I flip the off/on button back and forth and by that time I lost the sale and lost money in my pocket. SO really this mouse might physically help your wrist, but it will cause you to lose money if you cant get your work done!!!UPDATE: The mouse is junk. I even tried to order a new one and within a WEEK, its sticking so bad. I have not eaten or used sticky hands before using this. I have been so careful to keep it clean and put away when not in use. It just has to go and I need to spend more money on good quality.

The media could not be loaded. The ergonomic designed is great however, the trackball has a lot of movement to it. I was hoping this would be a mouse that I could get used to, but I use excel quite a bit and I was finding it difficult to pinpoint my cursor on cells to click and drag.Update- I have been using this mouse for the second day and I noticed that with practice my accuracy is improving and I am able to avoid the cursor travel. I really like this ergonomic design the the functionality of the mouse.

I absolutely hate touchpads and in most of the places where I use my laptop and even on several of my desktops, the real estate is such that using a traditional mouse is very difficult or impossible. I usually rely on trackballs. They all have had some drawbacks. I have a Logitec and a Microsoft in the standard horizontal configuration. First of all, horizontal is not very ergonomic. The natural position of your arm on the table it is to have the hand vertical. In addition, because of the design, your hand tends to push forward on these devices making them slide. On my large desktop computer, I actually have used double-faced tape to stick it to the desk because the sliding became so annoying with the Microsoft unit. This device is extremely ergonomic and natural feeling to use. There is no tendency to slide or move whatsoever. I have never used the "forward/back" buttons on any of my other trackballs so I don't miss their absence on this device. You can switch the sensitivity but the press of a button behind the thumb wheel. Very convenient. One thing that does take a little getting used to is what to do with your thumb when you're pressing the left mouse button. With a traditional horizontal trackball, you're pressing down toward the table so there is no tendency to move the cursor. With this device, when you press on either the left or right button what you're actually doing is "squeezing" the button towards the ball. The result is there can be a tendency for your thumb to move slightly on the ball and move the cursor. This gets a little easier to control with practice however there's also a very convenient ridge right above the trackball to rest your thumb on when you're pressing the buttons which makes it a little bit easier. Dragging and dropping is the only thing that is really kind of tricky. With a traditional mouse or trackball, since you are pressing down on the button, using the ball itself is an independent motion and easy to do. With this device because of the squeezing action, it's a little tricky to keep the left button pressed while you are manipulating the ball to drag something to a new location. Not that it can't be done. With little practice you can learn to press slightly downward on the button as opposed to the left which takes the pressure off the thumb and allows you to do the dragging motion. What would really be nice is a mechanism to turn the left mouse button into a sticky key but I haven't found any way to do that yet.I have seen reviewers downgrade the device because the ball becomes "sticky". As someone who has used various designs of trackballs for well over a decade, I can tell you this almost always results from either the ball itself or the supports inside the ball cavity becoming dirty. If you are using this in an environment where your hands are likely to be dirty or sticky or there is a lot of dust around, frequent cleaning is definitely going to be necessary as with any trackball. And if you have little ones using your computer, figure on cleaning the ball mechanism pretty much every time they get their hands on it.The price is very reasonable and if you are looking for a more ergonomic alternative to a traditional trackball, it's well giving this a try. I will probably be replacing the cursor control devices on all of my computers with this unit.UPDATEI'm afraid I have to downgrade my rating to 3 stars. I have been using these devices on two of muy laptops for 4 and 6 months respectively. To those reviewers who said the ball became "sticky," I know now what you mean. It is not so much sticky as rough. Originally both were smooth as silk but BOTH have now become extremely rough and jumpy, I have removed the balls and thoroughly cleaned the balls and sockets-no help. There is something with the tiny supports that hold the trackball. the ball itself seems fine but it feels like it is resting on sand. Actually hard to get the cursor in the right place because it is so jumpy. Since it happened on both of my samples and I have never had this happen with other brands, I have to assume there is a defect in the design or materials. I can no longer recommend this device.

I've been on the lookout for a trackball mouse with the sideways ergonomic design for a while now. The thumb trackball style has helped my carpal tunnel out a great deal, but laying my hand out flat to use them still takes a toll over long periods of time. So when I found this I had to give it a shot. It was worth it! As with any trackball mouse, I found it effective to take a little small machine oil on a cotton swab, go over the bearings the ball rolls on with the swab, then wipe up the excess with the dry end of the swab. It helps a great deal with ball movement. The dpi settings are a little extreme. Software to customize a sensitivity in between the max and middle settings would be nice, but once you get used to the max setting, it's pretty easy to work with. There's no real bells or whistles when it comes to features on this mouse, lack back keys for websites, but I've found I rarely use those anyway. But it is something to keep in mind. As is the fact that you can adjust cursor speed in Windows settings to make up for lacking more dpi differences using the mouse button. It would just be nice to have more options to switch on the fly. Overall a great mouse. My complaints are incredibly minor and certainly not worth docking points for considering the reasonable price.

love the design. Works alot better on my wrist compared to the old track ball.
