I just ran across this question while doing research. I understand why this was asked. It is too lightweight. Logitech's older versions very much like this trackball and the ball itself was much heavier and the trackball mouse itself lasted longer. I have this and in less than a year I am regretting buying it due solely to issues regarding the trackball. I don't know what the plastic is, but I suspect it is the multi-layer coating they were counting on reducing the friction of the trackball against the simple plastic tri-nodes, which it does poorly. It is NOT the Logitech trackball of the past and not for the better. The old ones felt with the weight and sound (as I bounced it on a tile surface) to be more towards ceramic balls with a friction-reducing tracking coating. The weight of the ball would double at least and be enough mass to very likely overcome the issues - or at least significantly reduce - the issues I'm experiencing when combined with the efforts of the friction-reducing coating.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure why you would want to replace. The ball feels hard, not plasticy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Its plastic. And the pattern isn't the same as the trackman marble( which are also plastic)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is plastic and I don't know if you could replace it with marble.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When was the last time you saw a ball? Boy! Those things used to pick up a lot of dirt. This mouse, and probably every other one today, uses a beam of some sort to wirelessly track the mouse.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The ball is plastic. I could not tell you if marble would work. The Laser that reads movement in the tracking device may or may not be able to follow the marble surface.
