Ive been waiting for this device for well over a decade - a Bluetooth version of Logitechs fabled TrackMan Marble Wheel. And this is, indeed, a really nice trackball for use with new laptops that dont have USB-A ports, such as the MacBook/MacBook Pro. Im torn whether to give it four stars or five - its borderline, and if I could give 4.5, I would. I decided to round up. (And Ive gone back and forth several times while writing this review.) The trackball functionality is exactly as youd expect if you used the M570, with a few extra features - tiltable scrollwheel, the precision button to allow fine control, and the ability to switch between two devices. The AA battery has been replaced by li-poly and recharges via micro-USB. The form factor is where things get a little weird. The bottom of the trackball has a 20-degree bend in the middle, and magnets on either side. It ships with a 2mm-thick metal plate that can magnetically attach to either side to cause the tilt. The result feels much more stable than youd expect, and while you can deliberately tilt it, its not generally going to accidentally tilt when you arent expecting it. I find the tilt feels really good, actually - I hadnt expected it to. The downside of this is that it increases the weight by over 1/3, to over 9 ounces. The device is overall about 4 ounces heavier than the M570. You can use it without the metal plate, but it feels extremely wobbly in that state, and will fall to flat rather than tilted unless propped up. The only other issue is that theres no spot inside to hold the Unifying Receiver. Not an issue for me because I want this for Bluetooth, but may be an issue for someone. I purchased the MX Ergo Plus direct from Logitech - the difference is that the Plus ships with an additional plastic wedge that can add another 10 degrees of tilt. If that sounds useful to you, my understanding is that the Plus is exclusive to Logitech and Best Buy.

I love Logitech mice. I still own the Performance MX which is a great video editing mouse, and I’ve always said that the M570 is one of the best ergonomic trackball mice. Now after 7 years, Logitech has finally released a new and improved wireless trackball which could easily become the best ergonomic mouse on the market. Logitech was nice enough to reach out and ask if I wanted to try an early test unit so here is my hands-on first look at the Logitech MX Ergo wireless trackball. In the box there’s the MX Ergo trackball mouse, a charging cable, a Logitech unifying receiver, and probably the most important piece, this magnetic metal hinge. This hinge snaps on to the bottom of the MX Ergo and lets you use the trackball at two different angles based on your own personal preference. This is definitely the best feature about this trackball in my opinion because the ability to switch between angles is great for improving wrist posture. The MX Ergo also claims to reduce muscular strain by 20% compared to a standard mouse. The overall design is excellent. It’s definitely made of high quality materials. It’s big enough and feels solid in my hand. The way it’s sculpted provides full support for the palm to rest on and scrolling isn’t awkward or tiring. The bulk of the mouse is made of a soft rubber which gives a nice comfortable grip. The bottom of the hinge has a good non-slip finish on it which helps the trackball stay in position when using it. It of course has left and right click buttons on top. The scroll wheel can not only scroll up and down, but it can also tilt for left and right scrolling, and it can also be pressed down to click. There’s an Easy-Switch button on top that lets you instantly switch between two computers without re-pairing, and you can also copy & paste data between the two computers with Logitech Flow. Both of these features require the free Logitech Options software. This software is not required to use the trackball, but it does give you more features and customization tools. The trackball itself has been smooth and accurate so far, and it doesn’t feel loose or anything. But for those of you who aren’t familiar with using a trackball, there is a convenient precision mode button near the ball so you can easily adjust the cursor speed and sensitivity allowing for faster and more precise control. The MX Ergo is compatible with the latest versions of Windows and Mac, and even though it comes with a USB unifying receiver that allows you to wirelessly connect up to six Logitech devices, the MX ergo does have built-in Bluetooth if you’d rather just use that instead of using the unifying receiver. It has a rechargeable battery inside that can potentially last up to four months on a full charge, depending on usage. But what’s really cool is that just one minute of charging usually gives enough charge for a day’s worth of work. That is super convenient for a wireless trackball. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because I wish it had USB-C, and I wish it gave you the option to use it as a wired mouse instead of only wireless. That’s my first look a the MX Ergo. I’ve only had it for a few days, but so far I’m really impressed and it’s something that I will continue to use as my primary mouse when I’m not using my Apple Trackpad.

I purchased this mouse to replace an older M570 which felt like its palm was raised too high toward the bottom. The MX ERGO feels excellent in the hand when flat, and even better when tilted. The ERGOs metal base has a rubber bottom and adds quite a bit of heft, which keeps it firmly in place. While the ball squeaks against the ceramic bearings, a tiny bit of oil resolves that issue, and that will happen over time anyway. The scroll wheel is a clicky type with detents as well as side scrolling and feels nice. The palm and the scroll wheel are rubberized, but not the buttons. The precision button seems a little too strong though as it feels like it cuts the DPI by around 90%. While the left and right mouse buttons feel nice and clicky, the back and forward buttons next to them feel very vague and cheap by comparison. While the mouse is capable of operating over either Bluetooth or its included unifying receiver, the USB connection is solely for charging and the mouse will not operate over the cabled connection, which is a bit of a disappointment.

Im giving this mouse 4 stars because I love it. Im a bit irritated by the advertised battery life - not sure if theyre lying through their teeth, or if I got a dud...but I dont even get a week out of the thing before it quits working (no warning, blaring alarms...just quits). HOWEVER...its not a huge deal because with a stationary mouse that still works as its charging, using it while "plugged in" isnt at all annoying. And if theyd said "4 days on a single charge", Id have still bought it. But to say "Battery holds power for up to 4 months on a full charge. One minute of charge gives up to a full day of use"...well thats just silly. Maybe itll hold a charge for 4 months if you charge it fully and then turn it off and store it in the refrigerator and NEVER use it... But back to the good. Because of the nature of my relationship with my biggest client, I am required to make use of a "company" laptop for certain things. But for my design work, I use my high-horsepower workstation. Keeping 2 keyboards and 2 mice has been a severe annoyance, and now with this mouse and the K850 keyboard (purchased separately), I can pair both devices to both computers and switch back and forth effortlessly. Even if everything else about this mouse sucked, Id still love it; fortunately it doesnt suck. Its a very nice mouse. I love the weight that others have complained about; I think the ball is just as smooth and quiet as previous 570s that Ive owned, the 20 degree tilt is excellent, the "slow" mo button is very handy for CAD sketching. All things considered, this is a great mouse.
