Pros: Finally a trackball that's not thumb-operated
Cons: Only 2 buttons
The Bottom Line: Great pointing device for the desktop space challenged. Try it out first to see if you're comfortable with it though.

| rfman's Full Review: Logitech Marble Mouse (904360-0215) Trackball |
As I am writing this, I am using my logitech Marble Mouse connected to my USB-enabled Macintosh. I have always likes the concept of the trackball because it requires less space to move around, but I was never able to work with those thumb-operated trackballs. And then there's the issue of left-handed users.
The Marble Mouse is a trackball that you operate with your middle fingers and click with your thumb. It may sound odd, but it works great for me.
Motion is smooth as the detector is optical rather than mechanical. And the ball is large enough to facilitate movement across the screen.
The only downside is that there is only 2 buttons on the Marble Mouse. PC users might find this a little short, although for Mac users, it's one button more than you would normally have!
And you know that logitech make good quality, long-lasting peripherals.
