Conclusion: We like it

Trackballs have always been niche products, and in today's world of motion and touch-based input devices, might seem like throwbacks to another era. But if you find you just can't beat a trackball's ergonomics, there are still a few good ones to choose from, and the Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 is one of them. It's lightweight, includes well-placed buttons and a scroll wheel, and cradles your palm comfortably as you use your thumb to operate the ball — if you're a righty, that is. The 570 is strictly a right-handed model, though Logitech still sells its Trackman Marble, an ambidextrous, fingertip-controlled trackball.

Picking the M570 then is a judgment call. It's a success for some, but we and no doubt some experienced trackball users feel Logitech could have done better.

This is one of those things that you wonder about but I have to say if you do any type of video editing where you need to make fine adjustments, this is for you. The advertised 18 month battery life (using a single AA) sounds very appealing but I haven't tested this myself. Note to OS X users:...

This Trackman continues to evolve the Logitech trackball design in positive ways. It adds forward/back buttons near the left mouse button, wireless with a small USB plug, and of course excellent ergonomics and design. An excellent feature is battery life. It requires 1 AA battery, and seems...

Growing up on a Trackball in the Windows 9x days, I've always had a bit of muscle memory for these devices, shifting to a traditional mouse back in 2003 always being a bit of a regret. Bring in the Trackman Marble, and now the M570, and I can't help but ask why I left in the first place. With...
