Welspo Wireless USB Handheld Finger Trackball Mouse

I have on older, wired version of this trackball and liked it for navigating the shop computer without reaching awkwardly to the touchpad on the keyboard.The cord was still more limiting than the keyboard which is wireles so I was looking at wireless trackballs and found the very one, except wireless.The "handle" end is much easier to hold than the wired one and the added controls top it off.I'm a fan!Update: I Really like this trackball. I use it for navigating browser and YouTube in my shop. It does take a little practice and I saw some say it locked up but I have found that pressing the left mouse button (which is the right thumb button) brings back function (like it was waiting for input or something).The battery cover is weak and I have had the ball fall out from dropping the unit but I like it so much that I bought a second one to keep as a backup.The DPI switch is a new thing for me and I find it useful because I use two monitors and I can keep it set to move quickly between them and slow it down in cases like selecting text etc..Update 2: I have come to depend on this trackball and it saves me so much effort navigating multiple browser instances. One note: I have had to remove and re-insert the receiver (dongle) a few times to reset it after software updates but it recovers when reset. Also, the battery life is not great but not terrible (over a month usually) because it is a AAA single cell.I do keep a piece of electrical tape over the battery lid because it is too easy to remove and will fall out if dropped.I would definitely buy this again and am considering getting one for my laptop.

Only had this one half of one day but it's pretty cool so far.My laptops scratch-n-sniff pad was glitching out, double clicking when it wasn't supposed to or not clicking at all. Don't have room for a mouse, so I was planning on taking the laptop apart and see if I could clean the click-pads or something. THEN I remembered these "air mouse" sort of things, liked what I saw and ordered this one.The plastic is pretty cheap feeling but not terrible, there are some sharp edges I need to attend to, but no end-of-the-world type problems. The tracball IS definitely too squirrely, I fixed it by putting a bit of tape across the front so the ball has some friction to defeat and that has made it MUCH better. The laser pointer is nice but it occurred to me: what would be cool and functional is an on-board microphone since there is SO much speech to text going on these days.Liken' it so far, we'll see how it goes :-)Ok, two days later and the tracball is already failing. Turned it on and off, unplugged the stub etc. Everything else ( scroll wheel and buttons ) works but the ball goes silent. Sometimes if I smack it, it will wake up, but not so far today.Update:the tracball has locked up every day since I have had it. Two days ago it locked up and I sat it aside and struggled my way through what I was doing with the laptops touch pad. I picked the tracball up to see if it came back to life and it was HOT! I got the battery door open but the battery ribbon wouldn't pull it out so I got it out with a fingernail, that batt was RED HOT! I grabbed it with a rag and threw it out on my concrete porch.Later I put a normal rechargeable battery in it and it hasn't locked up or gotten hot ever since. So if you buy one, throw out that chinese battery and put a decent one in and hopefully avoid this drama. Hate to think what would have happened had I not rechecked the device for several hours.Included a pic of the faulty battery.

Let me preface by sharing the following information:.• I do extensive work on my PC so having a mouse that's comfortable to use is of extreme importance.• I also obscure away from sitting at a desk as much as possible so having a mouse that is able to be used on a variety of different surfaces (including my own body) is ideal.• I have owned several different trackball style mice (?) in the past which I have enjoyed for the most part.Considering the above I think it's clear why thie welspo Wireless USB handheld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser Pointer was an attractive option. On the surface it's a wonderful concept and theoretically seems like it should be highly ergonomic; however, I found this device to be mediocre at best and frankly a bit dangerous which I will elaborate on further down in this review. I believe there are a few design changes that would make this finger trackball mouse a superior choice above similar products in this niche of the mouse world but of course this is just my opinion and may not align with the point of view of others but I digress.First impressions upon unboxing the mouse were that the outer shell is made of very low quality plastic (3D printer maybe) and not only that but the surface is rather slick making it difficult to hold onto. Getting the cover for the battery compartment reinstalled was more difficult than it should have been and frankly why is this powered by batteries anyways? USB C charging port would be a better option and likely free up space internally which could open the door to many other possibilities.Functionally, this thing is great in some aspects but not so great in other. I do enjoy the trigger style button as the left click analog and the trackball is nested in almost the perfect position but that's about where the functionality of the thing ends. Having the laser pointer button and 'whatever the one next to it does' button doesn't work for me. In my mind having the scroll wheel and right click button above the trackball would be a much better layout as I often times found myself squeezing the trigger button while either attempting to click the scroll wheel or either of the two right click buttons below. Speaking of why exactly are there two right click buttons anyways? With a different button layout I think this thing would be great but as it is now I have ahead time using it efficiently.A word of caution: DO NOT DROP THIS DEVICE unless you desire to undergo impromptu laser eye corrective surgery. I accidentally dropped the mouse one the carpeted floor in my office and reached down to grab it without looking. After I retrieve the device I discovered that the trackball had dislodged from its perch. Unfortunately, I made this discovery by looking at the device itself as my thumb brushed over the empty Crater which sent a beam of brilliant blue light straight into my left eye. Yeah I know I should be careful around laser and whatnot but is it farfetched to think that there should be some sort of safety measure in place that prevents the laser from lasing whenever the trackball isn't present? I'm sure I'm not the only person that this will happen to and that laser is fairly powerful. For the next day or two after this incident I had a difficult time seeing things clearly which gave me a wicked migraine. I'm also fairly confident that my overall vision has degraded since that event as well as there is a faint blue cloak over everything I look at.....I had high hopes for this mouse but it just doesn't do it for me. Too many poor design choices to be ergonomic or useful for a person who uses their PC heavily. Plus it's potentially hazardous to your eyesight.... With some major changes I'm sure this mouse could be the next big thing though

It has so much potential. I love it... when it works. I have a podcast and spend a ton of time editing and I wanted something I could use in my right hand alone while I program all my shortcut keys to be easily reached by my left hand. And... when it is working, this is a great solution, allowing me to easily edit without fussing with the touch pad or having to sit at a desk with a surface for a mouse (I prefer to sit on the couch or outside when I can). But... it disconnects randomly and it isn't always easy to get it to reconnect. I've never had a dongle connected device disconnect so frequently. I also wish it had a power light to tell me when it was turned on and even better if it would warn me that the battery is getting low. And the battery door is awful, it's so hard to get open and even harder to get to close (I just changed the battery and it took me a solid 4 minutes of fussing with the battery door to close it again). The battery life isn't super great since it only uses a single AAA battery. I'd love this in a rechargable version with a dongle that wasn't so prone to disconnecting. This is so close to being a great product but it's just not quite there yet. I find myself often falling back to my touch pad when it disconnects because I get frustrated when it won't stay connected and don't want to fidget with it anymore. I hope a better version is available soon that resolves these problems because this is exactly what I was looking for.

Image Wireless USB Handheld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser PointerI have not had this item long or used it extensively, so take this review for what it's worth.Here are what the various buttons do:Trigger is left click.Upper left button is laser pointer.Upper right button is same as pressing Enter key on keyboard.Lower left and right buttons are right click (context menu).Pros:- Nice to be able to have mouse hand free to be in any position, not chained to the desk. After a lot of work using my Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball I can feel discomfort in my wrist, so it is nice to be able to pick up this mouse and use it for a while; no discomfort. So it is obviously not as hard on the wrist.- Good wireless range. I haven't measured how far, but at least one customer claimed 40 ft.- Soon after purchasing this item I found myself in need of a presentation remote. This trackball mouse worked great. No problem clicking through slides, my computer in the back of the auditorium and me at the front.Cons:- I have essential tremor, that is, my hands shake sometimes. Thus I find that sometimes it is difficult to precisely point the cursor as my thumb is not steady on the trackball. With the Expert Mouse trackball I can more precisely position the cursor.- The trackball is not as firmly held in place as I would like it to be, and thus the thumb needs to be pulled off very carefully; any slight movement in any direction will flick the pointer off target. If it were firmer, requiring a bit more force to roll, I think this issue and the problem I have with essential tremor would be reduced.- Have to set it down to continue typing, which can be a little less convenient than simply moving hand from desktop-bound mouse to keyboard.- No way to change what all buttons do. Using the free X-Mouse Button Control software (use a search engine to find it), you can change the trigger (left click) and bottom two buttons (right click), and how the trackball and scroll wheel behave. But the bottom two buttons don't appear to be independently modifiable; they will always do the same thing; whatever one is programmed to do the other will do it also.Overall I like this mouse and am glad I purchased it.

I love these handheld wireless trackball mice/mouses! No surface required. Some people tell me though that they had a tough time getting used to it. I agree it does take some getting used to but the freedom from a table or desk surface is so worth it. No carpal tunnel, wrist fatigue or anything like that.

I purchased this mouse as an alternative to use with my left hand to rest my right hand as I started feeling a little discomfort in my wrist. This mouse has been a gamechanger. I love the freedom that it brings me not having to use a desk. It's very intuitive and great for the price. It does seem to disconnect once in awhile but so far when that happens restarting the mouse has worked. I highly recommend this mouse.

I use a laptop that has a touchpad (which I hate), and also has a trackpoint (the "eraser" thing) which can be fatiguing and painful if I'm doing a lot of mousing. When I'm working at a desk, I can use a regular mouse. But when I'm working elsewhere, a mouse doesn't work well at all.I hate a true trackball - tried them many times and they just never work well for me. This concept looked intriguing so I decided to give it a try.First off, my comments would apply to any of a number of models of handheld mouse out there.The concept is interesting - you hold the mouse in your hand, don't have to be right by the machine, don't have to have room for a mouse to move.After several days of using it, my thoughts are:- It's a bit disrupting to have to put the mouse down when you have to use the keyboard. So for someone doing a lot of keyboarding, with the occasional mouse click, this isn't the best choice. It's usable, just a bit intrusive.- The thumb-sized trackball is better than a full-sized trackball for precision, but still can be tougher to get the pointer in just the right spot. I wish there were a version that had a little thumb-sized touchpad (or better yet, a trackpoint!).- The two buttons which serve for "right-clicking" are below the trackball, on either side of the scroll wheel. It requires a bit of thought when you need to right-click. Presumably that will become more automatic with a bit more practice.- The laser pointer would be useful if you were doing a presentation. It's controlled by the left-hand of the two buttons above the trackball. The righthand button does nothing in this model. Other versions of this device have those buttons working for page-up/down scrolling and double-clicking. The laser pointer is fun (sure wish I had a cat to tease with it) but for me, not terribly useful. Another version (no laser pointer/paintbrush) would have been a better choice for me.Durability: can't really comment as I've just had it a few days. The thing does seem to be holding up well, charge-wise, since its initial charge the day I got it.The documentation is useless. There's a diagram showing the various buttons and what they mean for the different versions, but no instructions. Fortunately it was pretty self-explanatory - I just plugged in the little wireless USB thingy to install the drivers, then plugged in the separate USB cable and let it charge.

Very sensetive even after reducing sence settings. Material is weak, not durable

buy a known brand

This trackball is quite smooth and easy to use. And it can be held in any position, which is great for wrist/shoulder issues... I can even use it with my arm completely relaxed in my lap. Since it's symmetrical with the left click button operated like a trigger, it's very easy to switch between the left and right hand with no learning curve, and without having to change mouse settings to rearrange the left/right buttons.A few minor cons: The shape could be more natural to hold. The ball is small, so it's not the easiest to manipulate, and isn't good for very technical work. It probably couldn't be your ONLY pointing device. Also, it seems to be weirdly picky about batteries... I find if I use rechargeable batteries with a low-ish charge it won't turn on, even though other devices will work with the same batteries.But overall, I really like it! I recently bought a few different trackball-type devices to find a more ergonomic mouse alternative and vary my hand/arm positions more--this is one of my favorites, extremely useful for this purpose. Also the cheapest, so win-win!

لم يعجبني لانه لا يوجد به ليزر كما هو مذكور كما انه لا يستحق ثمنه كل الازرار تعمل بنفس الوضع انا مستاءة من المنتج

Trackball is very loose which makes it incredibly inaccurate for using this as a proper mouse and clicking/selecting objects in the computer. The simple fact of slightly moving your hand or pressing the ‘click’ button itself makes the trackball move and the pointer too (making you click on something else)Perhaps an ok product for powerpoint presentations but definitely a waste of money and completely unusable as a mouse.I’ve put a little mark on the trackball for my video so people can see how much the ball moves loosely without input, so people understand what I mean
