Amazon.com Product Description
Logitech's Optical Marble mouse gives you the familiarity of a mouse with the convenience of trackball navigation. Designed for comfort in either hand, this space-saving, four-button trackball boasts Logitech's innovative optical tracking system to deliver superior precision and smooth motion with virtually no maintenance or cleaning required. You get two ways to scroll: click two small buttons for page up and page down, or click one of two large buttons and use the ball for auto scrolling. The trackball gives you precise fingertip control, and the included WebWheel software enhances your Internet browsing. Two AA batteries (supplied) keep the Marble mouse racing for about three months.

No more back problems!.......2008-01-01
I consider myself something of a power-user: In addition to the mouse, I also use keystroke commands for various applications. My father also uses a mouse left-handed, which made me consider using the trackball with my left hand -- and still use a mouse with the right.
In short, I have a great setup. I can now alternate how I interact with my computer, and reduce repetitive motion. The symmetrical trackball allows me to use my left hand, and the Logitech marble mouse places the thumb on the primary click key. The scrollwheel *is* missing, but, with two *raised* buttons near the primary and secondary (ie. right and left) click keys, you program one of the raised buttons. (I would initially recommend the up/down Autoscroll over the up/down/left/right Universal scroll configuration.) This leaves the secondary raised button for as a "function key" for whatever purpose you like. For example, if you regularly shop on Amazon, you may end up programming it as the Back button. Myself, I have it set as the Enter key, so I neither have to drag the mouse to the OK button (inconvenient), nor use my other hand to hit the Enter key (laziness!).
And, as said, my back problem is gone! With a USB hub, you can easily set up your desk to use both the track ball and a mouse. Use whichever you feel like to break up the repetitive motion!
Good ball movement but lack of scrollwheel got to me.......2007-12-31
The good:
It is nice and easy to move around using the big ball placed in the middle. More comfortable than using a conventional mouse.
The bad:
No scrollwheel. This can be overcome, as other reviewers said, by using shortcut keys. But I couldn't get used to those. Also, the two small buttons on the sides are inconveniently placed.
Conclusion: if you don't scroll a lot, this mouse may be a great buy for you. Otherwise, consider the other models with scrollwheels.
Good but not as good as the older one........2007-12-28
I love using trackballs and this is one of the few that I can use to switch hands with. I like it because of it's not very big, smaller than an average size hand. I had an older version of the Marble Mouse and after many good years, it was time to get a new one. This one has more buttons on it but the extra buttons are not exactly in a great position. It's kind of awkward to use them if you're trying to be quick. And one function that the old one had (pressing both buttons at the same time) is not available on this one. That's really irritating for me. I used that function to double click and now I have to do it the old fashioned way. I did set the double click on one of the extra buttons, but like I said, it's awkward to use. I can't believe they didn't add that function onto this one. Other than that, it works great.
Works Very Well With VMWARE.......2007-12-21
This rating is specific to use on VMWARE. I own an Apple MacBook Pro using VMWare Fusion. One of the problems with using a mouse that has software to control special functions is that it doesn't work very well when you move from one enviornment to another.
I expected as much with this device, the software for the Mac would not work in the Windows enviornment and I would have to install the Windows version on the Windows VM. To my surprise, this was not necessary. I only had to install on the Mac. The transition from one enviornment to another was not a problem, I could move the mouse pointer between the two enviornments with the same amount of control and no loss of synch or speed. The scroll buttons work perfectly in both enviornments, again with no loss of synch or speed.
Good choice.......2007-12-08
Logitech Optical Marble Mouse (USB/PS2)
I purchased three of these for clients, all of which have arm tremors: Parkinson's disease or old age. Two of the clients are left handed the other is right handed. The Logitech Marble mouse has turned out to be very near to perfect for these folks. While the price was not paramount, this is a low ticket item. It can be used with either hand, as the track ball has a central location. It is heavy enough to stay put with either a desk top or lap top.
There are disadvantages to this mouse. There is no scroll wheel, but scroll options are available. Something that I seldom do, the installation instructions need to be read to select the appropriate options. Finally, there is a frustration of learning a new mouse; however, that frustration is insignificant to the frustration of the inability to navigate a traditional mouse due to involuntary arm movements.
It is a good mouse and priced right. Hope that this helps.

Customer Reviews:
One year mouse.......2004-11-17
This mouse isnt what I expected. I first thought it was an optical mouse. This is like a regular mouse. It has a ball and it has to be cleaned constantly. I bought this mouse about a year ago and its starting to give problems. If you want a mouse with a year durability, this might be your choice. Try searching for other mice out there.
Description is misleading.......2003-06-02
From the description, I thought this was an optical mouse. Under the mouse's "Features", it states "Durable optical technology provides smooth precision and resists dirt, eliminating the need for cleaning" However, this mouse has a track-ball inside that needs to be removed and cleaned just like any other mouse. There is a little red light inside the mouse that make the mouse look like an optical mouse, but it's a track-ball mouse like any other one.
I gave this mouse 1 star because, for the money, there are better track-ball mice on the market.
Product Description
A great stick for an entry-level budget. Get a comfortable grip handle, six programmable buttons, and a no-slip, high-precision throttle.Easy set up and precise control can be yours, even on a budget. The WingMan Attack 2 joystick provides performance features such as a rapid-fire trigger, handle and base buttons, a precision throttle, and a comfortable handle-all at a bargain price.

Calibration.......2004-06-29
Ive had this stupid stupid THING for about a year.Every time i play IL-2 the calibration gets all messed up.Im so PISSED.
Great design, but doesn't work!.......2004-06-13
I bought this joy stick because I really liked its design and ergonomics. The installation was a snap and the profiler software it comes with is easily configurable. However, it became completely unplayable after a few minutes (I was playing Grand Theft Auto) because it's calibration messed up. Now, I know my way around computers, but there is nothing I could do to fix the calibration, aside from unplugging/re-plugging the damn joystick every few minutes (not acceptable). I tried the newest drivers/software, removing the profiler, doing manual re-calibration, but I never got it to work properly. If you search the net, you'll see that many people had this problem, but Logitech never formally responded to it (bad customer support from my point of view). I have Windows 2000 professional installed, so I don't know if this is OS specific problem (again based on my research it seems to happen on other platforms as well). My advice, stay away from this Joystick and get something better (I got a Saitek controller and it works great). Oh, and, of course, do your research before you buy.
delivers what you need for under $20.......2004-06-06
This is hardly a "deluxe" model, but it's a good stick for under $20. Compared to joysticks costing $30 or more, the WingMan feels like it has too many loose-fitting parts, and the buttons are made from lightweight, cheesy-looking plastic. But it works just fine. This is one of the few sticks I've seen that doesn't squeak or creak; a sort of rubber collar at the base creates an odd but quiet sound. Also this stick doesn't have horizontal and vertical "grooves" -- it feels the same in all directions. I like the firmness of the throttle control which lets you power up your engines smoothly. The base is heavy and stays firmly on the desk. I use it with a Dell Inspiron 4000 running Win2000. Setup was painless -- I just plugged in and calibrated. Oddly, the Windows control panel calls the throttle control a "Z-axis" instead of a "slider." This might cause a problem if your game doesn't allow you to reassign this control.
Compatibility.......2004-01-06
This product is a great controller, and has been compatible so far...
However, it does not seem to be compatible with Need For Speed Underground, and I have not yet got a resolution from either Logitech or EA Games.
Pretty Good But With Many Error Messages.......2003-12-03
I have had this joystick for a few months now and I have not found a game that it is not compatible with. But sometimes I get error messages from windows like "Device is malfunctioning, try unplugging it and replugging it in again" that doesn't work and I have to restart my pc. Otherwise it is a pretty good joystick overall.
P.S. I am running Windows XP Home With SP2

Customer Reviews:
Junk, period........2003-02-11
This is the worst gamepad I've ever seen in Logitech's line up. There are few very buttons, making it useless for almost any game. There is no start button which many have gotten accustomed to nowadays. The buttons on the right are so tiny! They feel odd and qwerky when pressed. Logitech has been known for making some of best game controllers out there, and I don't see why they went to make this so poorly. I'm very dissapointed in this product, thus do not recommend to anyone.
Junk.......2003-01-24
Brand new, won't even calibrate properly. Save your money. Logitech should be ashamed for putting out such a piece of [junk].
D pad is horrible.......2002-11-05
I bought this to play Nascar 2002 mainly so I thought this would maybe be O.K. Not so...Action is terrible...worse than a 20 year old Atari controller.So unless you like to crash or get your...whipped in fighting games ...spend a few more bucks.
Product Description

Customer Reviews:
Pretty Good!.......2006-05-11
This a great controller. Its sort of like n64.
Pros
-Great price
-Gives no problems
-Detects many PC games (unlike other controllers)
Cons
-The buttons are a bit stiff (which may make the games kind of difficult at first)
-The analog stick is not sensitive (if you push it softly the game characher will not move slowly, it will be as pressing a regular direction button)
-I wish it had more buttons
Hey !!!
This is an excellent controller, its worth the money. Buy it, you will love it!!!
Extremely Reliable and HIGHLY Recommended.......2006-01-30
This is my first game pad, it is a very reliable and pretty long lasting game pad. I got the game pad a few years ago, but dispite the fact that it is an older verison, I highly recommend it.
one of the best!!!!.......2004-12-17
Had this controller for about a year and still works great!
It doesn't work on all of my games(spy hunter) but I'm not complaining!!!
Awesome gamepad!.......2003-12-15
I bought this gamepad to replace my old Microsoft Sidewinder Gameport Gamepad that was the original version made for Windows 95. It got the job done, but I wanted something better. I've had great experiences with Logitech in the past, so I decided give the Action gamepad a try.
Well, I've had this thing only a couple days, and I can honestly say I love it! It's obviously got a USB connection, so it's very convenient to be able to plug it into my computer's front-side port. It is built very sturdily and the controls are quite responsive. I mainly use it for Need for Speed Underground and the Action Gamepad works perfectly with it.
If you're looking for a gamepad, get this one! It's built with quality and won't break the bank.
A serviceable unit, priced well.......2002-12-21
I've enjoyed my Logitech Action gamepad, but I agree with the other reviewer who found the D-Pad to be less than 100% accurate. Even having used it for a while, I still have times when I'm trying to go exactly up, down, left, or right, and my character on screen will be trying to move in one of the diagonal directions instead. This can be very frustrating if you need precise motion.
That said, everything else about the pad is great. The size fits well, and the pad's configuration is pretty equivalent to that of a PS2 controller. It's not bad for the money, but if you need real precision or are a hardcore gamer, you might look at a different model or brand instead.

{Inexpensive}, Easy, Reliable.......2003-06-08
I bought this to give away when I sold my old Gateway PC so I would not have to part with my Optical Mouse. Its a great {inexpensive} alternative and the person who bought my 5 year old Gateway doesn't know any better anyway. I used it a bit and liked its solid feel and steady action.
Not the Best, but Good Enough.......2003-01-20
I wanted an inexpensive mouse for my laptop and this was it! At less than [money], you absolutely can't beat this price. The mouse works perfectly fine. However, I would prefer the internet scrolling to be an actual scroll rather than a third button to click. Otherwise -- great deal.
Good mouse, NOT optical.......2002-11-19
This is a good, sub mouse. Roller technology is old enough that these types of products don't distinguish themselves from each other anymore but it's a somewhat solid-feeling product with good tracking. It *is* made of plastic (as they all are) and it's hollow inside, so it's light and and feels plastic-y. There is no software included, but that's not really a problem.
The description for the product is somewhat deceptive because it is NOT an optical mouse so if that's what you're looking for at this price, look elsewhere. Otherwise, it's a good buy.

Amazon.com Product Description
Labtec has designed this optical mouse with comfort and performance in mind, incorporating advanced sensor technology. The mouse uses an optical sensor instead of a ball, so your cursor glides smoothly and accurately with the latest technology. There's no more mouse ball to clean or hassle with.
The mouse offers three-button operation and a scrolling wheel for easy document and Web browsing. Its optical sensor captures thousands of frames per second for superior, more accurate tracking. There are no moving parts in the mouse that wear out, ensuring that tracking is always smoother, faster, and more accurate than with traditional mice. The mouse requires a PS/2 port and a Windows operating system for PCs and is compatible with Windows XP.

Wrong.......2003-06-14
I bought an optical mouse but I got a normal mouse with a red decorative light.
Excellent Little Mouse at a Great Price.......2003-01-22
The Labtec optical mouse has a nice feel in the user's hand. It is not too obtrusive or over-round and the fingers settle quite nicely on the mouse buttons.
The scroll wheel is a nice addition but is set in the mouse further than usual. This has its ups and downs. On the positive side, the scroll wheel does not protrude clumsily from the mouse. On the other hand, it does take some getting used to and slows the pace of scrolling.
The optical eye is smaller than I have seen on an optical mouse. Again, on the positive side, the small eye slows down the mouse movement such that the pointer does not go careening around the screen. On the down side, some people may like that feature in their mouse.
As for the construction, it does not feel like the most sturdy mouse out there but I suppose if you don't smack it around like a hockey puck, it should last you just fine.
Great bargain.......2002-10-21
I trade stocks for a living, so I need the speed and accuracy of an optical mouse, as well as a comfortable design since my hand is on it pretty much constantly for 8 hours a day. I used one of these at work for 3 months without any problem. I bought a Logitech for my home for $$... (Before I realized how inexpensive these were) and found the comfort, feel, and performance to be superior with this Labtec mouse in every way. It's the best mouse I've ever used -- regardless of price.
Very good mouse for very little money.......2002-09-26
I have this Labtec mouse since April 2002 and it have never failed. I think that its price is very low compared with its functionality. I have Windows XP pro, and it works great with it.
Cost-effective.......2002-08-13
I picked one of these up as a replacement for a certain other brand that costs about twice as much and find it satisfactory. Positives: It seems a solid piece of work, the 'eye' port doesn't pick up dust as readily as the other brand, and the standard driver software is noticeably smaller than the other brand's. Negative: when I used it with a particular mousepad that has two identical patterns next to each other, and the mouse was in just the right spot between them, the mouse pointer would bounce around on the screen, indicating some confusion in what passes for the mouse's mind as to where it was on the pad. I don't know if this is a driver problem or a hardware problem. I kept the mouse and tossed the pad in a drawer -- with an optical mouse, who needs it?

Customer Reviews:
5 Star company.......2004-09-02
The cordless mouse is about 4 years old and the ball became out of round. I called tech support and without hesitation they sent me a new ball. It now operates like a new mouse.
good but bit steaper on the price........2003-09-08
The unit works fine. However i've would have preferred the optical version of it. Secondly the base unit(receiver)is a bit bulky (it's like a corded-mouse in itself). The receiver should have been smaller and like the one that directly sits in the usb slot. Performance wise its flawless.
Pretty good considering price.......2003-08-27
I've really enjoyed my cordless mouse for the last year or so. I used it for about nine straight months, roughly, without having to change the batteries. The only problem is the scroll. It isn't as smooth as other mice, but it's not a big deal.The overall quality is pretty good for a wireless mouse under [$].
I would recommend it!
my [used] wireless mouse.......2003-08-14
I could not get the mouse installed, so I paid a technical man to install it.......It was wonderful for about a week, then I started getting messages that a driver was not installed right, so I ran [check files through the c drive] and it took out the mouse..........then , I had no control.....I finally got my old one working again and still had messages warning me that I had a problem, until I got the legitech information all taken out...
Logitech don't honor their rebates.......2003-08-14
The mouse works great BUT Logitech don't honor their rebates. I may have to go to the BBB to get it resolved. This will be the last Logitech ideam I buy.

Customer Reviews:
2 stars for PC users, 1 star for Mac OS X users.......2007-05-12
WARNING: Mac OS X users should not install the Logitech Control Center (LCC) software. With no warning to the user, Logitech installs the Unsanity APE (application enhancer) software. The Unsanity APE violates Apple's programming guidelines, hacks into things it should leave alone, conflicts with many applications, and can cause full crashes (a rarity with OS X). I had many problems and crashes after installing LCC, and a review of my crash logs showed that the Unsanity APE was at fault. The trackball has basic functionality without LCC, but only the two main buttons work. I am testing USBOverdrive and Steermouse to see how they work with this trackball, but they cost $20.
The trackball itself works adequately well, though it does take time to get used to the placement of the trackball and buttons. My main complaint is that it is too hard to keep the trackball absolutely steady while three fingers are perched on it. This has a deleterious effect with games that require rapid cursor movement and then a precisely controlled mouse-click. A second complaint is that the device is too narrow and too arched for my hand (which is barely big enough for size large gloves).
Bad design, unnecessary software - no thanks .......2007-04-21
I bought the Logitech Marble Mouse in the hopes of alleviating the pain in my arthritic hand caused by constantly gripping and moving a mouse. While I liked the reasonable price and the convenience of the trackball, the mouse itself is so poorly designed that I gave up on it after 4 days. The base is HUGE - in order to reach the trackball, I had to hold my hand and arm at an odd angle which put a lot of stress on my shoulder. This mouse was obviously designed for a man's hand...it's WAY too large for the average woman, and the weirdly elongated base prevented me from using a wrist support. Even with the (very small) non-skid patches on the bottom this mouse kept shifting, and I'd have to haul it back into position every few minutes.
I'd also like to know why Logitech can't seem to design a mouse that doesn't require extra software. Many companies offer Plug-and-Play mice, even of the trackball variety, but Logitech's products always need separate software that comes bundled with all sorts of extra nonsense.
I was horribly disappointed in this mouse, and none of Logitech's other offerings look any better. I doubt I'll be buying Logitech again.
