Has anyone tried one of these yet? I like the idea behind it, and unfortunately thanks to the airlines. I am currently mouse less. Besides the ergonomic aspects. my other concern is battery life and longevity. I had the original MX anywhere mouse, and while it was comfortable, the battery life wasn’t all that impressive and additionally it rapidly lost it’s ability to hold a full charge (less than 2 years)
I corrected my post to add that my Anker is a wireless one I just couldn’t find the page for the one I ordered. Possibly updated and they deleted the old one.
You have a better memory than I do apparently. She’s not currently using them as she switched to the new Logitech MX mechanical keyboard and it’s mouse, but it’s likely still in a closet somewhere.
I should mention that it needs the dongle, it’s not Bluetooth.
As to trackballs, I used one a couple decades ago and it worked for me. I think I got it for the same reason I got this one: elbow problems. I’m trying to reduce elbow movement.
The last time I used a trackball was in my Powerbook days , simply because they were both the only option, and far better than anything else available.
And alas dongle isn’t an option for me either as I need it to work with any number of devices from time to time, many of which don’t have a standard USB port. Plus another thing for me to lose
Thanks for reminding me, that takes me back. I had the Power Book 180 laptop and didn’t have any problem with the trackball after some getting used to it.
I just bought a used original Apple Magic Trackpad off Ebay for $30.
The Logitech trackball is nice enough, but I keep losing the pointer. It’s almost as if it travels beyond the screen borders or something. A little while ago I was ready to force a reboot after spending at least a minute trying to move it into visible space.
The trackpad won’t hide my pointer and hopefully won’t aggravate my sore elbow either. We shall see.
So I went ahead and ordered a lift mouse. Couldn’t buy one locally because I’m left handed and the only ones in stores such as Best Buy and Office Max are for righties
