Logitech Trackman Wheel Trackball Solution To Cranky Laptop Trackpad
Wednesday, August 12 2009 @ 10:15 AM ET | Article Link
by Charles W. Moore
I pretty much miss the PowerBook trackball era. I’ve used 100-Series PowerBooks belonging to friends, but the earliest-model Mac laptop in our family was a PowerBook 520, and my own first one was a 5300 — both of which had trackpads. I get along OK with the trackpads in my laptops, and the glass multitouch buttonless one in my unibody MacBook is especially likable, but my preference when at my office desktop workstation has always been to use a good mouse — my current faves being a Logitech V-550 Nano and the Targus For Mac Wireless Mouse. I’ve tried some desktop trackballs over the years and have never been quite convinced, but for an alternate pointing device when on the road or just using a laptop as a laptop anywhere, trackballs have a huge advantage as an external pointing device in that they don’t require a mousing surface large enough to move a mouse around on — just a spot big enough to park the trackball unit within comfortable reach, and cordless trackballs are especially convenient.
