Of course my battery-powered Logitech trackball died in the middle of the night, when someone was sleeping in the room with the spare batteries. I wanted a rechargeable model to avoid that situation in the future. This trackball was $70 cheaper than the equivalent Logitech, which made it an easy choice. My current setup is a MacBook Pro connected to a Mokin Displaylink dock, using the MacBook like a tower (closed), with two LG 32ML600M-B monitors, and a keyboard plugged into the dock. The trackball connects via Bluetooth directly to the MacBook and I use it for several hours a day doing spreadsheet work, web research, and general productivity tasks. Pros: Familiar feel: I’ve been using this style of trackball since 1996, and this one feels identical to the Logitechs I’ve used for decades—very comfortable and intuitive. Good battery life: Easily gets 5+ days on a charge, and it works fine even while plugged in and charging. Smooth performance: The trackball is smoother than my previous one (at least for now, I’m sure it will get rougher like the Logitechs do). Multi-device switching: The trackball can pair with up to three devices, and switching between them is simple with a physical button and indicator lights. Adjustable DPI: It's easy to change the DPI sensitivity to match your workflow or screen setup. USB receiver storage: The USB dongle has a built-in storage slot on the bottom of the trackball, which is super convenient for travel or switching devices. Fun color option: I love the pink color—it’s cheerful without being overwhelming. Cons: Wakes inconsistently via Bluetooth: Unlike my old Logitech, which would automatically reconnect when waking the MacBook, this one usually needs me to press the device switch button on the bottom to get it going. It’s a small annoyance, but worth it for not having to deal with batteries. I’d definitely recommend this trackball, especially for longtime Logitech users looking for a rechargeable option at a lower price. It’s a nearly identical experience in hand, with added benefits like multi-device support, easy DPI control, and clever design touches like USB receiver storage. While the wake-up issue over Bluetooth is slightly annoying, it’s a fair trade-off for ditching disposable batteries at this price point. One note for Mac users: the description mentions limited support for the forward/back buttons. I don’t use those features, so I haven’t missed them. For basic navigation (left/right click, scroll wheel, and trackball), it works great.
