Logitech M570 Trackman Wireless Trackball Mouse, 2.4GHz with Unifying USB-Receiver, Scroll Wheel, Programmable Buttons, 18-Month Battery Life, PC / Mac / Laptop

I purchased this on the 10th February 2019 for £26.93. As of the 1st June 2025, this mouse is still holding up strong!Positives: I remember worrying that it would be weird adjusting to this versus other computer mice; however, it's a seamless transition and I prefer using this mouse because you can use it on a flat surface (e.g., suffering from a cold in bed, sitting on a chair, even as a kind of remote control at a distance from my laptop.)The scroll speed I would say is similar to other options - note that you cannot adjust this separately like some gaming mice, though this hasn't been an issue for me while gaming. The size is average for a mouse, not as big as you would think from the photos but it's still effective. It's probably slightly over the average weight because of the trackball, I haven't noticed a massive difference though I'm just fulfilling the customer review guidance.Connectivity is good, no notes here.(Not really) negatives: In recent years, the mouse has had some trouble with connecting with the battery. I don't know what the innerworkings of the mouse are, I just know that I need to twiddle with the 'On' button to keep the green light consistent and connect to my laptop. This is a power instability rather than a connection issue. Once I resolve this after turning it back on, I don't encounter this issue again until I turn off the mouse and it 'Resets' almost. I feel that this is more of a result of its age which I'm fine with.Thank you for reading this far. If by the time you read my review there are many negative reviews about this mouse not working or having good build quality, it's likely that Logitech have switched producers for this mouse which will be a shame. In that case, I would recommend that you specifically look for second-hand unopened boxes of this mouse

User of Trackballs since 1999. Many previous logitech corded versions still around somewhere, with a few of the competition. Currently using three M570’s. Best mice around no question. When one was damaged I saw an opportunity to try either the M575 or Mx Ergo.Bought MX Ergo and wondered why i did not try this earlier.Disregard some of the reviews, some are out of date. This is a review of mine shipped Oct 2023 to the UK.Pros: Sturdy feel and built. Has some weight to it.Has a larger area for palm which is surprisingly an improvement. Solid feel when using.Trackball is a smooth type (compared to the rougher ball that most have complained about) Mine was shipped with same ball as the on the 570 but grey in colour. Smooth to use, so no problems there at all.Can be used on 2 devices independently by switching between the usb receiver on one device and using bluetooth on another via the button on mouseBest of all, by using the Options+ flow software on two pcs you can copy and paste files and pics from one device to another. The mouse goes between one pc screen to the other (no need to switch on the mouse !). Just drag and drop between pc screens. Both pcs must be connected to the same wifi. The transfer speed is as fast as your wifi router allows. Ok for pics and files. Huge Gb files will work but go get a coffee while it transfers !Slower tracking speed available when needed for more precise mouse movements.The track wheel is much improved and has some really smooth slow motion when scrolling down web pages and docs. Makes quick reading a web page much easier.Battery life says 4 months in manual per charge. I have not charged it at all. Used daily for the past 2 weeks. Good for any rechargeable device.Can be used it one of two positions. Flat or at a notched angle (say 20 degrees in manual) I have never had a position issue with a logi mouse so I thought this was a gimmick. It is sometimes a nice change of hand position when working for a long time. I say this is a pro. For some reason I prefer 20 degrees ??Cons: Rechargeable battery. M570’s used one alkaline AA every few years. Cannot beat that, so not sure why they changed it.No where on the mouse to store the usb receiver ? Important to me if I am away.Amazon description says USB-C. Mine was shipped with Micro USB connector see pic. No big deal but worth noting if that was a requirement of the purchase.Two xtra buttons (left and right clicks) on schrol wheel. Cannot find any practical use for these. Too sensitive to use even for copy and paste, but all buttons can be made redundant in the settings or customised if needed.I use the slow tracking motion button on this mouse more than I thought it would. The specs say it has 3 dpi settings, the button just has two and I cannot find any setting in the software to try the third dpi setting.Overall a quality well made piece of kit. if you are a trackball person. This is the best so far.
