prdlm2009, it does not work like a mouse, it is just a track ball.
Someone mentioned in a review that it crashes unexpectedly and the only way to get it back is to restart Windows.
There is also this new sanwa trackball. I might pick one up at some point to try out. http://www.sanwa.co.jp/product/syohin.asp?code=MA-WTB43BK (http://www.sanwa.co.jp/product/syohin.asp?code=MA-WTB43BK)There is a review here and it does not look good. The ball is too small and it is not considered a defect by the manufacturer. I think that's what it says. There is a video too.
Thumb trackballs are the worst :(I've used both fingertip and thumb trackballs, and I like my thumb one more
Mmmm reminds me a bit of the Mx revolution. Loved that thing. Can someone explain to me the appeal of having s track ball on your mouse. I want to be in the know as I feel this is almost a "yo dog" type deal.Most thumb trackballs are simply shaped like a mouse, but don't have a sensor on the bottom as well.

Got it a few days ago and so far so good. I have heavy fingers so the buttons get actuated pretty often, and I am still not used to thumb trackballs, but they are both my problem. The trackball does not wake up instantly after switching it on but I can live with that.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/So7Vf9g.jpg)
Now I regret getting the wireless version because it loses tracking for half a second randomly. It does not happen often but it is bothering me. I don't think it enters into sleep mode because it happens even when I am using it.This was happening to me, maybe you could try cleaning the sensor with a qtip and some rubbing alcohol
This mouse really interests me as a potential successor to the M570.
Trackballs are love. Trackballs are life. But only thumb trackballs.
Hmmm, I haven't used a trackball since middle school. Are there advantages over a regular mouse?Have you tried STFW instead of posting an off-topic question? There are dozens of threads about that topic.
