The only buttons that don’t do what I want them to do, are the Back and Forward buttons. The scroll wheel, left-click and right-click immediately work and the speed of the cursor seems to be good (maybe it inherits the speed I had programmed for my Kensington Expert).

I do get a popup message about installing a keyboard, but I just close that window and start exploring the M570 (I later read in the manual that this always happens when plugging the Unifying receiver for the first time in a Mac). Opening the boxĪfter I pull the little piece of plastic that prevents the battery from going empty while being in the box, and after I plug the tiny USB 2.4GHz Unifying Receiver in my Macbook Pro, the trackball immediately works. Even people who use the mouse all day every day said they couldn’t believe how long it lasted.

Now we’re all used to companies exaggerating things about their products, especially something like battery life, but after reading a ton of real user reviews of this mouse we saw that pretty much everyone didn’t have to replace the battery for at least a full year. It uses only one AA battery for power and Logitech claims a full battery will last you 18 months of use. The M570 also has two new buttons, next to the left-click button, for moving Back and going Forward when browsing websites or documents. This single receiver can power multiple wireless Logitech devices, for example a wireless keyboard. It uses what Logitech calls their Unifying Receiver, which is very small (it barely sticks out from your port). The fact that this new model is only available with a wireless receiver is also a big difference, but it’s actually not a bad thing. The M570 is also a bit smaller than the old model. The first main difference is in the appearances… the traditional grey mouse with red trackball is now a dark grey mouse (almost black) with a blue trackball.
Overall the new version is very similar to the old, but there are a few important differences. Despite the good reviews people left about the Trackman Wheel, and the fact that it sold well, Logitech decided to discontinue it and replace it with the wireless-only M570. The Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 is the successor to the Logitech Trackman Wheel Optical that many people know and love.
