Logitech's wireless trackball instantly switches between Windows and Mac [Today's life hack tool]

While working on a computer, you will likely use the mouse for a long time. If your mouse isn't comfortable to use, your motivation will go down.

Logitech's "ERGO M575 Wireless Trackball", which was updated for the first time in 10 years, was an item that attracted so much attention that my husband immediately purchased it when it was released.

This is the first time my husband has purchased a trackball mouse.

Honestly, I'm satisfied with a typical wireless mouse, so the mouse is getting bigger and uncomfortable to use.

I decided to ask how it made my work more efficient.

Bluetooth connection and USB receiver can be switched with a single button

My husband uses a Windows computer at work, and at home I have a Windows laptop and Chromebook for work, work and hobbies. I have an iMac that I use half and half.

By purchasing the M1 iMac, it is the iMac that is used most frequently due to the size of the screen.

However, when Windows and Mac are launched at the same time and used in parallel, it seems that they felt that the mouse was difficult to use.

Logitech's "ERGO M575 Wireless Trackball" is compatible with Logitech's unique UnifyingUSB/Bluetooth connection, and there is a button on the back of the main unit.

If you switch between Bluetooth connection and USB receiver with this button, you can use the same mouse even if you use Windows and Mac in parallel.

You can work comfortably without having to use a mouse on your iMac and a touchpad on your laptop.

Convenient for range selection and multiple cell selection such as Excel

Logitech's "ERGO M575 Wireless Trackball" also has a scroll wheel with a new tilt angle.

In addition to holding your fingers in a more natural and comfortable position, you can also click and scroll with ease.

It is possible to track more smoothly than the conventional model.

Even though I don't really feel the need for a trackball mouse, what I thought was "certainly useful" was the range selection work in Excel.

With a normal mouse, when the window was displayed, there were many mistakes such as selecting the wrong selection position by protruding outside the screen. smooth movement.

Even if you don't move the mouse, you can control smoothly and precisely with your thumb, so you can make mistakes and stress-free.

Also, when you are reading documents or browsing the web, you should be sitting shallowly on a chair, just like you would be using a keyboard with a regular mouse.

One of the big advantages of a trackball mouse is that you can operate it comfortably even when you rest your body on the backrest. I'm happy to be able to use it even in a relaxed state, especially when I'm not working.

The mouse itself is large, but it saves space

When viewed side by side, the trackball mouse is slightly larger than a general mouse.

However, my husband's desk has multiple PCs and is not very large, so the space is physically small.

Since the trackball mouse can be used without moving, it seems to have been a decisive factor in purchasing it because it can be used without problems even if the desk is a little small.

As someone who likes simple things with no waste, the trackball mouse is large and has many buttons, so it was a niche image.

I was able to touch and know that it was actually functional and that its usability continued to evolve.
