So, WTF is up with this company. Couple weeks ago I went to download a driver and after not being able to get it to work, realized they have the Mac and PC links switched. Today I opened a new speaker package and have a missing speaker cable so try to log in to the support website. That's been a fun exercise in futility. Nothing but page errors or page just reloading after hitting enter. Good way to keep the support budget down I guess.

they make really cheap stuff. but they are the only place that sells thumb trackballs, so they are the only place i buy pointing devices from.

trackballs? Really? Can you really tell me that you can do things faster and just as accurate with a track ball?

Also as far as Logitech - I'll always stand behind them as a company that makes a solid product. I have a gaming mouse next to me from them and a decent 2.1 speaker set. I always use them for USB laptop mice and stuff like that. Maybe things have changed lately - I don't really care for their mechanical keyboards, but I have yet to see them go down the crapper as far as quality overall.

yes, i haven't used a mouse since the mid-90s. can't stand going back to them when i use someone else's computers. instead of just moving my thumb i have to move my whole freakin arm.

also i can't use a mouse on my stomach.

My peripherals are now corsair, steelseries, cougar and finalmouse, but I did have a logitech G403 recently that was a sick mouse except for the hump was slightly too far back and up for me.

Eh, don't really have to move my entire arm. As I got more and more used to mice - I just started putting up the sensitivity to the max. To move my mouse from one corner of the screen to the opposite, I literally don't move my arm at all - it's just the hand.

You could with a Logitech Anywhere MX mouse.
