Customer Ratings & Reviews

This mouse was a great purchase. Very user friendly and a great price to boot. Highly recommended.

I have not been able to get it to work with my hp computer

The tracking ball feels really nice and it gives me enough multifunction customized buttons.

Purchased for a friend: Within a couple of months, friend reported that unable to scroll and friend felt that mouse was poorly constructed and scroll wheel was crooked inside of housing. The cost was almost $80 and product didn't measure up. It was upsetting to me since I still use a very vintage Logitech TrackMan at my place that is years old and still works great.

The mouse began double clicking with a single click or holding down the button after about a year and half of use.

Just received my new Logitech MX ERGO Plus wireless trackball mouse. And I must say first off its a big mouse; which for me is awesome because of my large sized hands. It has a nice solid design feel and is very comfortable in my hand. I've had this mouse for about 5 hours now and love it. It did however take me a bit to learn how to use it initially since I was used to moving the usual mouse about my desk to control the cursor. It came with about a 75% charge which allowed me to use it out of the box after downloading the companion software Logitech Options to my Mac. Inside the box is of course the nicely crafted MX ERGO mouse along with what I found out later to be wedged base that allows for more natural hand positioning. Took me a little bit to figure out exactly what the wedge was and what its function was. After downloading the software, and re-teaching myself, which didn't take that long that I didn't have to move the actually mouse around and instead use the nice easy-rolling trackball, it almost became second nature. It may however, be a bit of a learning curve for some people who have not used trackball mice before. All of the buttons were already preset to my liking in how I usually setup any mice that I use with my desktop/laptop. This mouse can be used with or without the wedge, and is built on a hinge that if shift/tilted to the right offers more control and hand positioning. I also love the fact that it is also FLOW compatible as I was able to utilize this function between my personal laptop as well as my work laptop, and the process was seamless without any hiccups.

The keyboard is very easy to use and has a very small footprint that makes it easy to move around and to store. Good value.

Too bulky, hard to use and needs to much space doesn’t hold a charge long enough

The ERGO plus trackball on the surface looks like your basic trackball. It's got a few extra buttons and built-in rechargeable battery. The big stand out feature is the ability to adjust the trackball angle/position and customized stand that allows you to further raise it on your desk if necessary. All of these things are executed well and for that, as well as otherwise being a decent trackball, it gets four stars from me. Let's start with the big selling point, the adjustable hinge. This is implemented as a magnetic base that makes and maintains solid contact with the bottom of the trackball. The surface is beveled so leaned one way, you get the normal trackball flat on the table surface, go another, and you get the trackball at an angle. I actually found myself using the trackball mostly at an angle - it was just more comfortable than the normal position. That one could improve upon this is not something I would have realized. You essentially only get the one other position from standard - may be good enough for most. Being a Logitech wireless device, it makes use of their unifying receiver. However, the great news is that it also supports Bluetooth, in case you lose your receiver or just prefer something a bit less proprietary. The trackball works well, scrolls smoothly. There's a button slightly above the trackball that allows you to reduce the trackball speed when you need to perform some navigation or movement in a really small area or with higher precision. I could see this being of use to graphic designer types. The mouse also has dedicated forward and back buttons, which are nice if you're used to it, though placement on a trackball device is tricky. The buttons end up under your index finger and if your fingers are short enough, you can make use of them with almost no effort. But with larger hands, they ended up being harder to reach which reduces their utility versus the thumb mounted buttons typical on more featured optical mice. For those who swear by a trackball but find themselves with some arm strain, the Ergo Plus could be a good contender to replace your current pointing tool.

The MX ERGO Plus is a good follow up offering to the long running M570. Overall the build quality is typical Logi. The unit has a nicely balanced weight, smart ergonomics and good quality in the feel of the materials used. Pairing the unit with my computer was quick and painless and comes with everything you need to get this done quickly. With the on-board rechargeable battery, it's nice to be able to simply plug the unit in via the provided USB cable and continue to use when the battery is running low. Since this is the exclusive to Best Buy "Plus" configuration - you get an additional magnetically coupled base plate that introduces a higher stand-off position to the primary base on the computer desk surface or keyboard shelf. Personally, I found that this additional wedge lifted the unit too high making for a less than comfortable orientation. It also adds to the tipping angle when you rock the unit over to the side. This may actually be favorable to folks with large hands but I found both the height & angle offsets were too extreme and much prefer the MX ERGO Plus without the extra platform and in the titled orientation. I can not comment on the specified battery life due to time limitations of this review submission but I believe that the MX ERGO Plus should last a good 3 to 4 months between full charges for at least the first year or two of ownership. The action of the buttons and the scroll wheel are positive - with no slop. The ability to pair the unit with two different machines and to switch between them with the touch of a button is a nice bonus feature. Overall, I think the MX ERGO Plus is solid update choice for anyone that prefers a trackball to a mouse and that want some flexibility with respect to features and ergonomics. My only real gripe with this offering is the steep price. I can safely recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality trackball solution as long as they can get it on sale and save some money.

This is my first time ever using a trackball mouse. Upon taking it out of the package, I was surprised at how big it was considering I have been using a tiny little mouse until now. The mouse feels very good in the hand, and there is a plate that attaches to the bottom that allows you to set the mouse on an angle for maximum comfort of the user. I really like the ability to custom fit the mouse to your hand. I was able to plug the little receiver into the USB port and start using the mouse right away. Another feature I like is that is is rechargeable. After it's initial charge, I have not had to recharge it once. The battery really does last a very long time. I was very surprised at how tricky it was to use at first. After moving a mouse around with my hand my whole life, going to a trackball is a little difficult at first. You really do have to retrain your brain to match the cursor movement to the trackball. I was surprised at how long it took me to get used to it, but once I did, using it has been a breeze. This is not the fault of the product, rather the user, and I cannot fault the product. There are several programmable buttons which I do not use because I have no need. I am sure an engineer or a cad designer would absolutely find them useful. All in all, I love this mouse and am officially a trackball user from now on.

This is the greatest trackball mouse ever created period.

Logitech removed quite a bit of functionality to make this mouse. For me, it is the Cruise function that was removed. Without that function this is useless. Looking online there are quite a few functions that were available in previous Logitech mice that are gone. Hey, Logitech we don't need the functionality to focus left or focus right, but we do need things like Cruise.

Pros: -I have used Logitech ball mice my entire life. I prefer them to my G series mice and my Razer Mamba. -This mouse is a wonderful successor. Having a built in battery is fantastic. -The weight is amazing. Doesn't slide around at all. It grips well on my table or my mouse pad. -Base plate is magnetic and doesn't go to the different heights without some force. So it won't snap into other positions -Get this version the extra 20 degrees are totally worth it because the side of your hand rests on the table. -Buttons aren't mushy. Which is my main problem with my old M570. -Speaking of this is a great successor to the m570. I was cautious but it is really better. Didn't know if it was worth but build quality seems worth the price for now. -Excellent for Mobas, okay for whipping FPS, absolutely gorgeous for 3D modeling on Maya and Unreal. The ability to smoothly control the viewing camera is totally worth. -I have a three screen display that this mouse can maneuver with ease without adjusting sensitivity. -Bluetooth! -Can go between two computers. I can have it on my laptop and desktop on a fourth screen. Cons: -Buttton layout isn't quite perfect a couple degrees off. -Bluetooth has a bit of latency. The retailer said 1 ms but it feels like more. Other Thoughts: -No logitech G series yet. If they released one with the option to go wireless and wired Logitech Proteus style. -Please give me G RGB style. The ball mouse community would love a G series. I paid $110 for this the day it came out. A lot of gamers find it intuitive to use ball mice.

The roller ball is too loose so it is very hard to control its pointer.

Logitech, sadly, has gone downhill. There were no instructions with it and I had to contact the company to figure out what the buttons did. Not a great way to start. For its hefty $100 price, I expected better. I wound up returning it the next day and got a Microsoft mouse instead.

The Wireless Logitech MX Ergo Trackball Mouse works pretty much like you expect it to if you've used a trackball before, very comfortable design. While I initially set it up with its own receiver, I quickly realized it supported Bluetooth which my laptop has built-in so I decided not to take up an extra USB port. It has a convenient 'precision' button on the side, for when you need the pointer to move a little slower (detail), otherwise it moves quick enough that it feels very natural to use as a primary pointer. My notebook's touchpad often has issues (usually requiring me to put the notebook to sleep and wake it up to fix) and it's quite possible using the Logitech will also be a work-around for that. Unlike a traditional mouse, it works well in areas where you can't move around as much (like on the arm of a sofa/recliner). Having the scroll wheel is also a nice convenience when reading multi-screen documents and web pages. I'm interested in learning more about the 'flow' feature, but I'm not inclined to set it up until I understand it better and know I won't accidentally be clicking on the wrong screen.

Primary button stopped working after 2 weeks. Will have to try another one due to a broken hand makes a standard mouse almost unusable.

I will never buy this item again. It doesn’t work properly and it’s a waste of money.

This is a terrific way to replace a mouse. It takes much less space on the desk, and it is very thoughtfully designed. Key features include both USB and bluetooth connectivity, switching of connection between two different computers with a single button, and two programmable buttons. The tilt feature, plus an included optional stand for raising the level higher above a desk, gives many options for finding a comfortable configuration. At first, I found the thumb placement of the roller a bit awkward, as my prior trackball was a Kensington Pro with it's huge ball for finger-rolling. But when I attached the stand and tilted the MX Ergo Plus up, the hand position became perfect for me, and the ease of use became fantastic. Like it's name suggests, it is a very ergonomically designed pointing device. This is definitely the best trackball on the market for most people, and I highly recommend it! I love the desktop real-estate that I've been able to reclaim, and it is physically easier on the wrist/arm/shoulder than using a mouse. Highly recommended!
