Budget variant that cuts cost by removing key features such as a high-resolution sensor and robust software, resulting in less precise cursor control and a thinner build that can feel flimsy after long use.

The Logitech MX Ergo S relies on thumb manipulation of a sparkly blue trackball rather than wrist movement. Featuring a handsome ergonomic design, this Logitech trackball mouse is a fully wireless affair, with support for the company's Logi Bolt 2.4GHz dongle and multiple Bluetooth connections. The Ergo may take time to get used to, but it's worth the trouble for the benefits alone.

So, yeah, this is a really good option, and your wrist will thank you if you choose this. So, let's unbox this and see what you get in the box. Okay, I've got my trusty scissors here, so let me cut the tape. Okay. So, you get a USB dongle right here, so you could use it with a USB, or you could use it with Bluetooth. I've been using Bluetooth at work specifically.

Trackballs are an acquired taste—often, acquired by sheer painful necessity. But the Logitech MX Ergo S makes the transition from a conventional mouse that much smoother. With its comfortable tilt design and quiet switches, the MX Ergo S balances comfort and control better than competing models, making it comfortable for both trackball veterans and newcomers.

I've been using the Logitech MX Ergo S for about 8 months now, and my wrist pain disappeared from day one. And it hasn't come back since. I genuinely wasn't expecting that.

The Logitech MX Ergo S is hands down the weirdest mouse I've ever laid eyes on, yet somehow it works for me. Instead of moving the mouse around, you use the trackball with your thumb, and the large design keeps it in place, easing wrist pain from all-day computer use. It's effective, but definitely an adjustment.

However, the MX Ergo S is the opposite; the ball feels solid. It moves more slowly, confidently, and feels far more precise. Despite the added resistance, there isn’t any scratchiness or friction.

If you have the budget, the MX Ergo S remains the better choice. But the Ergo M575S works fine if you need to save money.

It is worth buying if you are dissatisfied with the space required to move a mouse or with wrist movement, and if you are willing to get used to trackball operation. Conversely, if you prioritize portability, gaming performance, the freedom to use it with either hand, or being able to use it with the same feel as a regular mouse from day one, it is more reasonable to choose a different mouse.

Like seriously, My current mx ergo s has a failing middle click after 6 months and sometimes switches from channel 1 to 2 on its own as well. Now, before you think to return the thing, do remember that I like 'em enough that I keep buying them. Just be advised reliability is an issue and have a backup mouse for when you need to order a fresh one.

Ja, ich gebe es zu, ich persönlich nutze Trackballs sehr gerne. Und deshalb bin ich auch so begeistert von der Logitech MX Ergo S . Würde man mich fragen, würde ich sie sogar auf Platz 1 unter den bisherig getesteten ergonomischen Mäusen setzen.

So first of all i would like to encourage you not to buy it. Secondly, maybe someone experienced similar issues and was able to replace these switches (I read that they are 3 pins instead of standard 2 pins).
