Title: Don't listen to the "hype"!
Product review: Based on the other reviews, I purchased two of these items (one for each of my computers) and have been using them for a couple of weeks. Yes, they work great at first. But afterwards they do "skip, stick, and need to be cleaned" often. If you do any precision work on your computer, or you need to move your mouse quickly from one side of the screen to a specific spot on the other side of the screen while playing a game (e.g. Age of Mythology), I'd suggest keeping your old mouse.I would have given it a lower rating, but the trackball does work. And, with the software installed, you can easily program the two extra buttons and the wheel to fit your needs. At first, I just plugged the darn thing in and it worked! Couldn't use the extra buttons, but everything else worked fine. Just not too thrilled about the Optical TrackBall.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
