- MX Ergo S Advanced Wireless Trackball Mouse USB C - Graphite

Nick’s Take (The short story) This was my first trackball mouse, purchased to help resolve wrist and shoulder strain — and it genuinely delivered. After 10 months of daily use, I now prefer it over a traditional mouse. Comfortable, precise, thoughtfully designed, and worth the price if ergonomics matter to you. 1. Context & Use Case This is my first-ever trackball mouse. I purchased it specifically to address wrist and shoulder discomfort that developed from long hours at my desk. At the time, I was using a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard, and now a Kinesis MWave, both aimed at improving ergonomics. The MX Ergo S became the missing piece of that puzzle. I intentionally gave myself 10 months of daily use before writing this review to fully adapt and honestly evaluate whether it made a long-term difference — and I’m happy to say it absolutely did. 2. Learning Curve & Transition There is a learning curve, primarily in retraining your thumb to handle cursor movement. For the first few days, things felt awkward. After a couple of weeks, it started to feel natural. Now, I genuinely prefer the trackball experience over a standard mouse. Once muscle memory sets in, the precision and comfort become second nature. 3. Ergonomics & Comfort This is where the mouse truly shines. The angled design fits comfortably into the palm, keeps the wrist in a neutral position, and significantly reduces shoulder movement since the mouse itself remains stationary. After extended use, I noticed: Reduced wrist fatigue Less shoulder tension More relaxed overall posture For anyone dealing with repetitive strain, wrist pain, or shoulder discomfort, this can be a game changer. 4. Build Quality & Features The build quality feels premium and solid. Highlights: USB-C rechargeable (a feature I didn’t know I needed, but now greatly appreciate) Bluetooth connectivity — extremely helpful for workplaces that restrict USB dongles Smooth, responsive tracking Buttons are well placed and easy to reach I purchased this alongside an MX Anywhere S for travel, and quickly realized how much I valued the wireless charging and Bluetooth flexibility across both devices. 5. Cleaning & Maintenance Cleaning is refreshingly simple. The bottom plate pops off, allowing you to gently push the ball out (a pen cap or pencil eraser works perfectly). A quick wipe of the internal sensors and ball keeps tracking smooth and consistent. It takes under a minute and makes a noticeable difference. 6. Who This Is For Ideal for: Desk workers Programmers Designers Anyone dealing with wrist, forearm, or shoulder strain Users seeking ergonomic improvements Less ideal for: People who frequently move their mouse long distances across a desk Gamers who rely heavily on rapid, sweeping movements 7. Value & Price Perspective At around $100, this is not a casual purchase — but for ergonomics, it feels justified. If this reduces pain, strain, or fatigue during daily work, the value becomes very clear. For me, the comfort improvement alone justified the price. 8. Final Rating Five stars. Even at its premium price, this mouse has delivered meaningful comfort improvements, excellent usability, and long-term reliability. It solved the problem I bought it for — and that’s ultimately the highest bar a product can meet.

This Logitech MX Ergo S trackball is ergonomically designed with an adjustable angle and I am not going to lie, it eliminated my wrist pain within days of switching. No more moving my whole arm around to use the mouse. Just thumb control of the trackball while my hand stays in a natural position. The adjustable tilt lets you customize the angle from flat to 20 degrees. I use it at the higher angle which keeps my wrist in a neutral position. The difference in comfort compared to a traditional mouse is dramatic. My forearm is no longer pronated all day long. Precision tracking is excellent. The trackball is responsive and accurate for everything from detailed design work to general navigation. The sensor quality is what you expect from Logitech MX series. Professional grade performance in an ergonomic form factor. USB C rechargeable battery lasts for months on a single charge. No more swapping AA batteries or dealing with wired connections. Quick charge capability means even if it dies, fifteen minutes gets you back to work. The programmable buttons through Logitech Options software add serious productivity. Customize each button for your workflow. Forward back buttons, precision mode toggle, gesture button. Make this trackball work exactly how you need it to. For anyone dealing with wrist strain from traditional mice or just wanting a more ergonomic setup, this trackball delivers. Logitech engineering expertise applied to ergonomic mouse design. Your wrists will thank you.

Best trackball mouse I've ever used. I especially like the ability to switch between multiple PCs conveniently. I used to get carpel tunnel really bad when using a traditional mouse. Since switching to the Logitech MX Ergo S, no more sore wrists! Cleaning the internal contact points is super easy and restores smooth operation in seconds. Button clicks have a premium feel with low noise and relatively short travel. The metal baseplate ensures it stays put and grips the desktop surface so you can enjoy hours of use without it sliding all over the place. Highly recommend and will buy again if this thing ever wears out.

I've been using Logitech trackballs since their very first model in the 1990s. I've always preferred them, and although the M570 and Ergo M575 had switch failures back in the early 2020s, I was encouraged by recent reviews saying the quality had returned. I bought the MX Ergo S in February and immediately loved the comfort and control — it was a clear upgrade from my MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless mouse; my wrist is no longer cramping, and my desktop is no longer too small. Recently, I upgraded to a Lenovo ThinkPad P16 and paired the MX Ergo S over Bluetooth. Most of the time it works well, but every so often the cursor freezes until I click a button. I assumed this was a Windows Bluetooth quirk, so I tried switching to the included Logitech Bolt USB receiver. That's where things fell apart. The receiver wasn't recognized in my USB hub or my Thunderbolt dock (not surprising), but even when plugged directly into the laptop's USB‑A port, Windows detected it — yet the trackball would not pair. After reading Logitech's support documentation, I discovered that the Bolt receiver works best only when plugged directly into a USB‑A 2.0 port on the motherboard, which modern laptops no longer include. In other words, Logitech's own specifications effectively make the Bolt receiver incompatible with most modern laptops and office configurations. The MX Ergo S itself is outstanding — easily a 5‑star device on ergonomics and usability — but I'm removing one star because the connectivity options simply aren't reliable on modern hardware. Logitech either needs to produce a modern USB‑C Bolt receiver or significantly improve the MX Ergo S's Bluetooth reliability to match the experience I had with the MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless mouse.

Love this mouse, it is a good size and has helped my wrist not feel so fatigue, the metal park does come off at bottom to pop out the trackball to clean. It is sleek and has almost a rubber feel to it. It has a very good response time and connected perfect.

So comfortable, adjustable slant, very easy on the wrist, programmable, Logitech website explains it very well. Over many years, I have always been very satisfied with Logitech products. I look for this brand specifically on keyboards and mice. Very well made, Durable.

Why did I wait so long to go with the perfect trackball? Features I didn't even realize I would love!: - cordless! It charges very quickly, and lasts more than a week on one charge. - it feels solid! Two positions with a rubber grip bottom makes sure it doesn't slide around your desk or bed or wherever your pc is set up. - the bottom is magnetized, so it pulls right off to quickly access the track ball for easy cleaning! - since it is cordless, so easy to use it in all kinds of environments, and unlike a regular mouse that requires space to use, you need only the space that this sits in, to use. I use this on my counter while I'm cooking to change YouTube videos or Netflix movies playing on the side screen, and it has a great cordless range to the device. - it has the potential to hook up to several devices, so it's a quick push of a button to select the device, and of you go, rolling the ball and controlling the interface. My setup is a wide screen monitor hooked up to 3 different computers, I have a cordless Dygma Raise 2 keyboard that can connect to any of these PCs, along with this mouse that can also connect to any of the 3 PCs, so I have one keyboard and one mouse controlling everything on my desk. It affords the ability to have a clean looking setup, and I can't say enough how easy it was to learn how to switch between systems, and how easy it was to adapt to using a track ball mouse over decades of using a standard mouse. It's solid, easy to use, easy to clean, easy to charge, a real quality mouse that I'll have for years!

Bought this to replace one of the older models of the same trackball I misplaced. I was initially sad to see the price increased on this model from the one I purchased a few years ago, but I can tell the quality has improved so I'm happy with the cost knowing now quality improvements were made. In my experience, this specific trackball is durable and my last one lasted me over 2 years with heavy use; it stills works, was just misplaced. Overall, I love this mouse. The tilt on it is so nice for my hand and my wrists. I work in IT but also do digital artwork and graphic design as a secondary job so I'm constantly using my wrists with typing, using a mouse, and drawing. I take extra care of my wrists as I've had symptoms of carpal-tunnel flare up over the years and this mouse has been very helpful in ensuring I'm not hurting my wrists. I noticed my hand would start cramping with my regular, non-trackball mouse and my wrists would start to get sore. I'm not sure how I feel about the material yet as it seems to have this type layer with silicone feel. This silicone layer/coating does attract dust (you can see my product photos after only 1 day's use where dust is building up on the bottom). In my experience, these coatings wear over time, revealing shiny plastic underneath but I want to give this mouse a fair chance before assuming it's going to have issues with the coating. Did not come with a USB-C cable for charging but I'm OK with that if it means keeping costs down and I have tons of spare USB-C cables anyway. My only gripe is I wish they would include a slot or hidden compartment like some of their other mouses to place the wireless USB dongle so it doesn't get lost when not connected to a computer and not being used. I'll update this review if I find anything worth noting.

Construction solide. Je suis toujours aussi satisfait après plusieurs mois. La batterie tient sa charge longtemps et l'application qui lui est associée, offre beaucoup de possibilités. Après quelques jour d'adaptation avec une souris stationnaire, je n'ai pas du tout envie de revenir à une souris conventionnelle.

This is a great trackball. I consider it the best accessory for my computer that I have bought in the last 20 years. Excellent battery life, accurate sensor, minimal movement, multiple connected devices. I am very, very satisfied and highly recommend it to everyone!

Using this for very tiny intricate work on a MacBook, it works as promised for very tiny movements. Good job.

4 star instead of 5 for this reason: This mouse is very well build, and precise, but, it's not an MX level and cannot be qualify as an MX range (and the asking price is not justified too), because of this: it should have an inertial scroll wheel, and it don't, so be advise of that if you come from Logitech MX mouse (Logitech Anywhere mouse). It's a huge trade off. Editing/Coding, selecting text/letter, require a precision from your thumb muscle, that is just too difficult for me. Have 40 years of mouse muscle memory/precision, and for me, a mouse will always be better (even trackpad, due to stiction issue). Flick a ball, and reach a close "x" window, or selecting an icon, is one thing, but editing, is another thing. ymmv.

Très grande efficacité, très bon produit. Travail très bien, les commandes sont a la bonne place pour effectuer les tâches .
