Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The sanwa trackman has a thumb trackball. This allows the thumb to rest comfortably on the track ball. This has helped significantly with wrist and hand fatigue. Decent and different ergonomics vs.

Sanwa trackball works much the same as my older logitech model. This corded unit has plenty of cord, and eliminates that concern working in public places such as airports. Motion sensor looks like it's arranged to minimize crud buildup on it.

The sanwa is a bit larger than the logitech (every dimension, including the ball) but is comfortable for my average sized hand. The ball is slightly larger than that of a logitech, but i like that. The heavier / larger ball has more carry (inertia) wh...  Read More

Ball is bigger, rolls more smoothly then the mx570.

The sanwa trackball feels like the first-generation logitech trackman from the early 2000s. I have an old padded mousepad that works just fine for this. Nice near replacement for the old, long discontinued logitechtrackman wheel's.



Cons

The scroll wheel is too far back. Its location causes pain in my wrist. Also, it ships from asia, which is slow. Very difficult to maneuver with precision.

This is a superb ergonomic trackball with light and precise action

The ball kept falling out of my logitech and would roll all over the floor

Price


For myself i found it very worth the price and worth the wait


All told i think its worth the cost


Looking online though i was shocked by how pricey they are


We have been buying cheap mice as replacements but when we saw this we spent the money

Competitiveness


Not only is this a very nice device it feels better than the wireless logitech


One review claimed it to feel light or cheap but i disagree and would suggest its quality to be superior to the m570 which fran...  Read More


I tried a couple different track balls and even a vertical mouse but i didnt like any of them as well as the logitech


In my opinion side by side this has a much better action than my older logitech

    Sometimes the left button doesnt work and a lot of times i accidentally hit the right buttontoo sensitive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ive gone through dozens of trackballs trying to find comfortable and easy to use mice for my home and office


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Finally found this one and bought half a dozen just in case they stop making them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Would only suggest for the creators that the bottom lip of the trackball get pulled in a little bit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The ball wont fall out and the lip isnt protecting your thumb from the table but rather causing my thumb to hit the lip on occasion


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If youre wondering how the mousehand position will feel then simply take another mouse small ball or bunched up paper towel and put directly under your palm like youre resting your hand on a mouse


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Let fingers and thumb be loose and that will be the position of the trackball


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Dont have to tense your thumb to use the mouse and you wont scrape your thumb across hard plastic if you go half an inch like on other models
