Logicool Trackball ERGO M575

On my home PC, I use a trackball instead of a mouse. I think most people prefer mouse, but I’m for trackball.
In the case of a mouse, the mouse body is used to move the cursor on the screen by sliding it on the desk, but the trackball is the one that rolls the ball with your finger. It takes some time to get used to it at first.

The advantage of the trackball is that it can be used without moving it, which saves space, and the cursor can be moved without moving the arm, so there is less strain on the wrist and shoulders and mouse tendonitis can be prevented.

I started using it because I hurt my wrist while exercising, but the other day the trackball broke, so I replaced it.
The new trackball is ERGO M575 made by Logicool Co., Ltd.. As the name implies, it is a product that incorporates ergonomic design. You can use it without twisting your wrist at an unnatural angle, making it even more comfortable.

Logicool ERGO M575

Logicool Co., Ltd. is a well-known brand of computer peripheral products and is a Japanese subsidiary of Logitech International, headquartered in Switzerland. The company has developed its products under the Logitech brand worldwide, but it seems that Logicool brand is used only in Japan. That is because Logitec Co., Ltd. already existed when the Japanese corporation was established. Logitec Co., Ltd. is also a company that deals with computer peripherals, and the trademark application of “Logitec” was filed in 1974, before the founding of Logitech in Switzerland.
The products of both companies are familiar to me and I have used them frequently for some time. (Syszo)
