Title: This product fails to impress
Product review: I bought the Optical trackball on the assumption that since it was a Microsoft product, then it would work well. I was wrong. I cannot understand how a company such as Microsoft can fail to properly conduct quality testing on a product intended for general use.The problem with this trackball is the ball. It stops and stutters which tranlates to very imprecise cursor movement. There needed to be a reason, so I removed the ball from the socket and inspected the inside. I found that the source of this stop and start movement was a tiny plastic bump which evidently was designed to hold the ball in place. However, it also prevents the ball from rolling smoothly which is the reason behind the stop and start affair.This design flaw is inexcusable on Microsoft's part. This is one of the worst examples of an inadequately tested product being released I have encountered. Shame on you Microsoft.
