 By any name, it's mightier than the mouse. |

Originally called the Logitech Marble Mouse Trackball, the TrackMan Marble Trackball is the superior alternative to the mouse. Unlike a mouse, it sits in one place and your fingers use that big burgundy ball to move the pointer. Your thumb does the clicking and once you get accustomed to it, using a mouse will seem quaint and clunky.
Long before the optical mouse rose to fame, Logitech was already employing optical technology in the TrackMan Marble and its siblings. Pop out the ball and you'll find a small rectangular window. Behind that window are an infrared LED and the sensor. Together, they track the movement of the marble's leopard spots. It might not be as sexy as the bright red glow of a conventional non-laser optical mouse but it gets the job done with more precision and comfort. The TrackMan Marble is even ambidextrous, allowing lefties to use it as easily as righties.
If you're wondering about scrolling without a wheel, it all depends on the operating system. On a Mac, the mini-buttons scroll up and down; while on Windows machines, the right mini-button enables vertical and horizontal scrolling. You won't miss the wheel. |

| I used to use the trackballs with "Cue Balls" and wheels. When my last one gave out (I bought a bunch on sale) my mate bought this one. I was sceptical because of the small ball. I do engineering work and I need precise movements. I used this for a few hours before I decided I'd never go back. Plus the optical technology is a lot easier to clean than the rubber wheels of the old style trackballs. And the price is very right. |
Great mouse! Logitech keeps making winners.

| Since I had to give up my PS/2 port Trackman Marble FX mouse, this model was the only alternative. The design is gentle on the hand. It is perfect for lots of clicking, whether you work with Photoshop or with lots of cells in Excel worksheets, your hand will thank you. It is accurate too. The price is reasonable, thus making it a good alternative to the USB version of the Trackman Marble FX, which goes for $150 and is no longer easily found in most stores. Once you try this style of mice, the other models are simply no longer a choice. |

| These are really much better than those darn mouses. I do a lot of graphic design and photo work and with mice I would always run out of space on my desk and have to back track constantly. These are great in that they stay in the same place. It is also very precise and offers much greater control. I wouldn't buy anything else as long as this is available. |
Why Use a Mouse?

Why would anyone want to use a mouse?
With a mouse, you must keep your hand on the mouse and the mouse on it's pad, and then move your entire hand around to control the cursor.
With the trackball, all you need to move is your finger, any finger.
And you can pick up the trackball in your hand, sit back relaxed from the desk, and still control the cursor.
If you are agile enough, you can even hold and operate it with your left hand and use your right hand to write, or what ever.
Yet most folks are just hung up on the mouse.
In the beginning Bill Gates created the mouse (actually Xerox did) and thus you must use the mouse with windows.
Oh well, let them suffer from capal tunnel syndrom.
Just save your wrist for other purposes, and start using the trackball.Logitech Trackman Marble MouseLogitech Trackman Marble MouseLogitech Trackman Marble Mouse |
