Logitech ERGO M575 review

The ERGO M575 is the cheapest way onto this list and a different answer to wrist strain. Instead of tilting the hand, it keeps the mouse still and moves the cursor with a thumb-operated trackball, so the arm and wrist do not travel across the desk. Logitech says this reduces fatigue in the hand and arm and makes it suit tight desk spaces. It runs on one included AA battery that Logitech rates for up to 24 months with the Unifying USB receiver and up to 20 months over Bluetooth Low Energy, with a range of up to 10 m. There are 5 buttons covering left and right click, back and forward, and a scroll wheel with middle click, and Logitech lists a design rated for 3 million plus clicks. The downsides are its simplicity: fewer buttons than the MX Ergo S, the older Unifying receiver and no tilt, so the palm still faces down. At $49.99 it is a low-risk way to find out whether a trackball suits you.
