Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Logitech Cordless TrackMan Wheel
Customer Review: Getting Back on Track...
Summary: 5 Stars
The Logitech Cordless Trackman was an upgrade of mine from the Logitech 4 Button Marble Ball. Before I involved myself with the Marble Ball there was a Logitech mobile "finger operated" trackball pointing device that I was enjoying. It has been about six years since I was stupid enough to use a regular optical mouse.
Logitech makes reliable, predictible, consumer friendly, budget conscious products that come with a lower total cost of ownership. I have used this device with FreeBSD, PC-BSD, SUSE Linux, DreamLinux, Mac OS-X in a VMWare virtual machine implementation, Windows 2000 Pro, Windows XP Home and Pro, Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate and NEVER had to install a single driver if I didn't feel the need. It even works with my no-install disk partitioning tools -- wirelessly. Awesome and fun.
It's all good -- real good!
I'm finding that using rechargeable batteries with the Cordless Trackman is a winning combination. The batteries last so long on a single charge that it makes me ill. The last change lasted in excess of an entire month. The space that I save, the money I save, the less I have to get aggrivated about with mouse cords getting tangled up on other peripherals... it is senseless to be without this device or any other like it.
The wireless range is slightly limited by device emmitted radio interference. This scenario is easily corrected by moving the receiver a couple of inches away from any highly active devices that you may have running next to it. The actual range of the device will vary due to the geography of the area that you are operating in but, the maximum range is far more than a pathetic 8 inches.
I just tested mine at over 6 feet, with the receiver under my laptop, while pointing the mouse in the opposite direction and elevated it to over three feet above the receiver's plain... works for me!!! Some of these "BAD" reviews are merely "bad reviews." Fiction belongs in the fiction section and not in hardware.
This trackball is as durable a device as any other trackball that I have purchased carrying the Logitech branding. It's taken well over a year of my most brutal abuse and is still kicking like a champion.
There are reports that there are difficulties with the trackball navigation being intermittent. The problem was said to mysteriously disappear and then the trackball would operate normally. This problem is simply resolved by performing normal low-level maintenance on the device.
- - SIMPLE Maintenance PROCEDURE - -
- What you'll need:
* Pencil with an eraser or any sturdy Q-Tip like device will do.
* Rag or a paper towel
* Some water or window cleaner
* Some patience (seriously)
- Procedure
* locate the access hole on the underside of the Trackman beneathe
the trackball
* insert the pencil into this hole eraser first and gently apply
pressure until the trackball pops out of its cradle. Be ready to
catch it as it will role away fast.
* clean the trackball with plain water or window cleaner NO SOLVENTS
* clean out the trackbal cradle of dust and lint and be careful not
to smudge the laser screen -- it's a pain to clean.
* replace the trackball into its cradle and you're off to the races
Some of the benefits of using a trackball type pointing device are: A.) reduction in fatigue onset by repetitive movement, B.) reduction and/or prevention of inflamation of existing and or new injuries due to repetitive movement, C.) space savings due to a smaller work area outline for trackball HID operation as the device is immobile and the cord is immobile(if applicable), D.) increase in productivity and efficiency due in part to the synergy of the aspects addressed previously in A., B., C., and increased ease of use.
