Long story short, need to replace old MX Ergo, plastic is peeling off and no usb c charging, common problem for MX Ergo user.

Saw this new model in Japan, reluctant to buy there without warranty and Aus price was just a rip off. Randon search today saw it on sale at officeworks for $134, I know it's not going to get any cheaper and company is paying for it so pull the trigger.

A quick take on the price and usability, for those who are using these type of device will know, this is the best you can get alongside with Kensington, $134 for a stable and reliable bluetooth trackball is really the lowest you can go, you can get a bit more discount with gift card but that's about it.

  I'm sure this version is superior in many aspects, but Logitech Ergo M575 Wireless Trackball Mouse (Black) https://amzn.asia/d/5RnKqQq if anyone wants a more affordable option.

  That trackball ended my chronic wrist pain. Highly recommend if you have any similar issues.

  You become accustomed to the change from a traditional mouse within an hour or two of use in my experience.

    I use both the MX Ergo and M575.
    The M575 is vastly superior. Longer battery life and AA instead of USB, much lighter, and plastic instead of icky rubber that looks like STD after a couple of years. Can also fit a little finger into the hole to pop out the M575 ball for a quick clean, have to find a pen to clean the Ergo.
    I have had one Ergo and about 4 or 5 M570/575 over the years.
    Gaming is not a problem, can 360 no-scope with a fresh ball no worries.

      Its a user thing I guess….

      First mine are work paid for so as long as it not excessive then it doesnt hurt my wallet. Having said that I try the ones that are non titable inluding 575 and I absolutely hate that angle and makes a big difference if you are using it 8 hours a day. I also hate battery and receivers. The Ergo MX (and this one) having bluetooth is so convenient and you just need a charge cable for you comupter or dock to keep the device running.

      Same for me, M575 is my preferred one.

  Two of the original, still going strong, but finally, USB-C!

    The peeling issue is so common, it will happen less than two years. Didnt happen to yours?

    The USB-C is the biggest draw back, then Logitech wants $50 for a USB C port, really they can take it up their…. $10 - 20 extra like now I will pay.

  I have a number of the first gen and can confirm that the soft plastic layer can all be removed - just need to apply brute force

    korda on 18/11/2024 - 20:12

    How does it feel after the disgusting coating is removed? Are there hard edges that you can feel all the time?

    • 

      siuol on 18/11/2024 - 20:26

      The surface underneath the coating is a shiny layer of plastic. No hard edges

    Thanks and I just experimented on that, feels ok. The old one at home will just be use as a pointer on google tv so no big deal.
