 trackman is and always has been superb August 20, 2008
The trackman has been my favorite of all mice since I started using it. The only drawback-that can't be avoided-is that the trackball sensors get dirty after while and you need to disassemble it to clean the sensors. But then it's as good as new. It's the only mouse I'll ever use. Since your keeping your wrist in one position, it's great for reducing carpel tunel syndrome.
 Fine Product is it right for you? August 16, 2008
Great product no brainer to install. The only downside is that it has a sizable receiver and is not a fob type commony used with lap tops. So for a desk top this is perfect. If you plan on using a mouse from a distance it may also come in handy.
I find it excellent for surfing the net but can be a challange for percise use like graphics such as photoshop etc.
Just Ordered My Third One August 8, 2008
I just ordered what will be my third cordless trackman in the past 5 or 6 years. I also have a corded trackman that I use exclusively with my laptop. I'm a trackball kind of guy, never could stand using a mouse, and of all the ones I've tried, the cordless trackman is my favorite. It has three buttons and a scroll wheel (the wheel is also the third button), all of which you can program to do as you wish, and at any sensitivity, in the control panel. I am also a Mac man, and have never had a single problem with drivers, programming, or anything else software related.
The only reason I gave this item 4 stars instead of 5 is because they aren't perfect. Close, but not quite. Mine seem to last about 2.5 years before one or more of the button switches actually breaks, at which time I just replace it. I admit, however, that I am probably somewhat rough on mine, so yours will probably last longer. My cordless models go through a single AA battery every 8 to 10 weeks, or so, maybe longer.
The other problem I have discovered with these is that the ball itself is not exactly the same in every one I've bought. They are probably supposed to be, but the one that came with my corded trackman is just slightly smaller than the others. It was enough of a difference to make it difficult to control the pointer with any great precision. Swapping in the ball from one of my retired trackmans solved that issue.
The only maintenance mine have ever required, other than a new battery every couple of months, is to clean the three rolling points that the ball rests on inside it's little cove. All you have to do is pop the ball out, and wipe each of the points with a Q-tip. It literally takes no more than 10 seconds, start to finish, and should be done once a month, depending on use. I read a review where someone was having an issue where the ball seemed to slightly stick sometimes. That is an issue that will almost certainly be corrected by cleaning those rolling points with a Q-tip like I just described.
One last point I feel I should make involves the battery. I highly recommend using only high quality alkaline batteries. Rechargeable batteries don't last long at all, and become a nuisance when you have to replace it every other week. Low quality batteries tend to leak acid, and once that starts, your trackman will be ruined. Spend the extra quarter and use Duracell, or something comparable.
Hope this helped someone. :)
Better than traditional mouse August 2, 2008
I have my computer desk cluttered with papers, coffee cups, pens, etc and have limited space. This stationery mouse eliminates the constant aggravation of moving the traditional mouse on its "pad" and banging it on the desk everytime the cursor finds its way off the screen and I can only reclaim it with a quick bang making it reappear on the screen. I quickly got use to the thumb "ball" although it sticks at times (it freely floats, but if I'm doing very detailed work and want to highlight perhaps just one letter in a sentence the ball tends to slightly "stick" and after gently applying the needed pressure to move it, it jumps too far and has to be done over again). My main reason for getting this wireless mouse was the limited space on my desk and not wanting to continually be moving the mouse in a cramped area. For this reason I'm glad I purchased it.
 Small hands July 30, 2008
My thumb has to stretch a little too much when using this unit and so it's not comfortable for extended periods of time. I guess it's b/c I have a smaller-than-average sized hand (ring size 5). I'll have to find better mouse alternative than this one.
