 Too chaeply made! July 1, 2008
After experiencing the freedom from my desktop and the comfort this thing affords, I could now NEVER go back to being bound to a mouse pad (flat surface), let alone the wrist pain and discomfort that heavy use of conventional mice guarantees.
However, until I can find one of these that is made better and lasts longer, YET IS AS RESPONSIVE AS THIS ONE, I'll have to settle for a Logitech Trackman Wheel (which you use without having to move it around, e.g., can use it from your lap, placing it next to you while sitting on the couch, from the arm of a chair, on your desk, etc.).
Positives:
-Very responsive with precise pointer movement
-Allows freedom from desktop/flat surface
-VERY comfortable
Negatives:
-WORKS FOR ABOUT A MONTH on average before breaking
-WAY too cheaply made (cheap components, springs, buttons), and breaks within a few weeks to several months TOPS (oh, this is the same as the previous problem BUT IT IS A BIGGY, so I left it here)
-No uniformity from one to another, e.g., some have springs so weak they stop working in a week, some have buttons that break after a month, WHILE A FEW MIGHT LAST SEVERAL MONTHS (i.e., if I had ANY assurance they ALL would last several months, I'd just treat them as expendables and buy them by the case!)
-Is not wireless
-Is not optically controlled (it's a mechanical mouse ball movement), i.e., it gets dirty WAY TOO MUCH.
I actually *was* using them as expendables for a few years (while searching FOR YEARS for a similar one to this that is better made), but I finally got comfortable with the above Logitech *until* I can find a decently made one of this design.
For the price, tho, I'd give it FIVE STARS *if* it lasted even 6-12 months!
Mini trackball innovative,and handy! June 29, 2008

I have been converted to the joys of trackball usage by having the simple but marvelous Logitech Marble Mouse;now,I have a fine laptop,and missed having trackball functionality while on the go.The Micro Track Ball seemed a potential solution,and it works very well,though not as I had anticipated.It is a finger-trigger device,engineered for use of the thumb on the trackball,and the index finger on a button within the circular opening below the trackball.There is no install disc,and my laptop accepted it immediately,no problems.It does not replicate my Logitech,but it is very similar,and incredibly SMALL!You may need to contrive a stand for it,as it does not naturally sit well,but it is a delight nevertheless!
Nice stuff! June 18, 2008
it really works. Easy tu use, but the cable had to be more flexible. The provided one is heavy in excess. For that reason I give only 4 stars.

Fellowes 99928 USB Micro Track Ball (Silver)
I was very pleased and surprised at the promptness of delivery. The Track Ball is working beautifully.
 trackball doesn't work well at all March 10, 2008
This will be my 3rd trackball in three years. The design idea is nice, but not as functional as a desktop mouse. The rollerball jumps around, and is hard to select items. 3 years ago, I paid half the price as I paid recently, and I am very dissappointed. I will not buy this product again. They do not last, and they do not work well
