Wireless USB Handheld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser Pointer

Works great. It's replacing a high end gaming mouse that freezes and is very laggy. This one doesn't have any stutter or freezes . It responds immediately with no lag and makes a better gaming mouse than the gaming mouse did. Unbelievable, I see complaints about the track ball falling out and how it doesn't work well when tilted on its side. I've tried everything ( short of dropping it ) to dislodge the ball and make it quit working when tilted on its side and have been unsuccessful at doing such. Now it doesn't have a premium quality feel to it .it's not very robust and I don't think it can take a drop to the the ground well . So if you drop it that's on you .don't hate the device . Get a lanyard or necklace or some kind of tether or something if you are clumsy because this mouse ain't having any rough housing.

I recently purchased a Welspo handheld trackball mouse from Amazon, and I am facing frequent disconnection issues. The mouse stops working randomly, and the only way to get it working again is to remove the USB receiver and plug it back in to essentially reset the connection. This is happening repeatedly, and I would like to know if this is a faulty unit or if there is any troubleshooting step you recommend. Please advise on the next steps.

It works like you’d expect. The battery slot is a bit snug, so after putting a battery in, it took a good whack on a hard surface to shift the battery down against the contact. It does light up blue under the scroll wheel when you flip the on-switch, so you know immediately if the battery is making contact or not. Apart from that, my only complaint is it’s a thumb-trackball, and a right-click has to be done with the thumb. If you ever have to right-click and drag (3D printing slicers, 3D Cad, etc.) this design is not so good. I’d prefer a design with a split trigger, so left and right click are both done with the index finger, but haven’t found one yet. Overall, I ding them a star for the finicky battery issue.

Image Wireless USB Handheld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser Pointer I have not had this item long or used it extensively, so take this review for what it's worth. Here are what the various buttons do: Trigger is left click. Upper left button is laser pointer. Upper right button is same as pressing Enter key on keyboard. Lower left and right buttons are right click (context menu). Pros: - Nice to be able to have mouse hand free to be in any position, not chained to the desk. After a lot of work using my Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball I can feel discomfort in my wrist, so it is nice to be able to pick up this mouse and use it for a while; no discomfort. So it is obviously not as hard on the wrist. - Good wireless range. I haven't measured how far, but at least one customer claimed 40 ft. - Soon after purchasing this item I found myself in need of a presentation remote. This trackball mouse worked great. No problem clicking through slides, my computer in the back of the auditorium and me at the front. Cons: - I have essential tremor, that is, my hands shake sometimes. Thus I find that sometimes it is difficult to precisely point the cursor as my thumb is not steady on the trackball. With the Expert Mouse trackball I can more precisely position the cursor. - The trackball is not as firmly held in place as I would like it to be, and thus the thumb needs to be pulled off very carefully; any slight movement in any direction will flick the pointer off target. If it were firmer, requiring a bit more force to roll, I think this issue and the problem I have with essential tremor would be reduced. - Have to set it down to continue typing, which can be a little less convenient than simply moving hand from desktop-bound mouse to keyboard. - No way to change what all buttons do. Using the free X-Mouse Button Control software (use a search engine to find it), you can change the trigger (left click) and bottom two buttons (right click), and how the trackball and scroll wheel behave. But the bottom two buttons don't appear to be independently modifiable; they will always do the same thing; whatever one is programmed to do the other will do it also. Overall I like this mouse and am glad I purchased it.

I want to love this. I have been using it for weeks and it does almost everything I want. Its light and portable, and fits in my hand nicely. The trackball works great, until it looses connection. Which it does a LOT. I haven't figured out a way to get it to reconnect properly short of unplugging the usb and plugging it back in, then it works fine till i close my laptop and then its a toss up if it will be connected when I open it again. It would be soo much better if it had bluetooth connectivity. Then i wouldn't even need the dongle that gets lost every time i drop it while trying to unplug and plug it back in because there s nothing to hold it by. You can left click and drag, but you will need a second thumb to right click and drag unfortunately. I wish they would put the right click where the DPI button is so i can do both, move the dpi button up to where the laser is or something. I want to give this 5 stars it could get 5 stars with a few changes.

Let me preface by sharing the following information:. • I do extensive work on my PC so having a mouse that's comfortable to use is of extreme importance. • I also obscure away from sitting at a desk as much as possible so having a mouse that is able to be used on a variety of different surfaces (including my own body) is ideal. • I have owned several different trackball style mice (?) in the past which I have enjoyed for the most part. Considering the above I think it's clear why thie welspo Wireless USB handheld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser Pointer was an attractive option. On the surface it's a wonderful concept and theoretically seems like it should be highly ergonomic; however, I found this device to be mediocre at best and frankly a bit dangerous which I will elaborate on further down in this review. I believe there are a few design changes that would make this finger trackball mouse a superior choice above similar products in this niche of the mouse world but of course this is just my opinion and may not align with the point of view of others but I digress. First impressions upon unboxing the mouse were that the outer shell is made of very low quality plastic (3D printer maybe) and not only that but the surface is rather slick making it difficult to hold onto. Getting the cover for the battery compartment reinstalled was more difficult than it should have been and frankly why is this powered by batteries anyways? USB C charging port would be a better option and likely free up space internally which could open the door to many other possibilities. Functionally, this thing is great in some aspects but not so great in other. I do enjoy the trigger style button as the left click analog and the trackball is nested in almost the perfect position but that's about where the functionality of the thing ends. Having the laser pointer button and 'whatever the one next to it does' button doesn't work for me. In my mind having the scroll wheel and right click button above the trackball would be a much better layout as I often times found myself squeezing the trigger button while either attempting to click the scroll wheel or either of the two right click buttons below. Speaking of why exactly are there two right click buttons anyways? With a different button layout I think this thing would be great but as it is now I have ahead time using it efficiently. A word of caution: DO NOT DROP THIS DEVICE unless you desire to undergo impromptu laser eye corrective surgery. I accidentally dropped the mouse one the carpeted floor in my office and reached down to grab it without looking. After I retrieve the device I discovered that the trackball had dislodged from its perch. Unfortunately, I made this discovery by looking at the device itself as my thumb brushed over the empty Crater which sent a beam of brilliant blue light straight into my left eye. Yeah I know I should be careful around laser and whatnot but is it farfetched to think that there should be some sort of safety measure in place that prevents the laser from lasing whenever the trackball isn't present? I'm sure I'm not the only person that this will happen to and that laser is fairly powerful. For the next day or two after this incident I had a difficult time seeing things clearly which gave me a wicked migraine. I'm also fairly confident that my overall vision has degraded since that event as well as there is a faint blue cloak over everything I look at..... I had high hopes for this mouse but it just doesn't do it for me. Too many poor design choices to be ergonomic or useful for a person who uses their PC heavily. Plus it's potentially hazardous to your eyesight.... With some major changes I'm sure this mouse could be the next big thing though

UPDATE (9/2022): I reached out to the manufacturer and they sent me a replacement even though it was almost a year since I'd purchased it. I'm updating my review based on my happiness with the mouse (which was always very high) as well as the fact that I'm extremely impressed that the manufacturer was willing to take responsibility and stand behind their product. ------------------------------------ It's very convenient to have a mouse you don't need to rest on any surface, and I loved this mouse while it functioned correctly. Unfortunately, after less than a year of very light use (at most once every few weeks) it stopped working. Specifically, when I'd plug the small dongle into the PC I'd get the error "A request for the USB device descriptor failed. Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)", and no amount of finagling would resolve the problem. I'd have thought the dongle would be bulletproof since it has no moving parts, but apparently just inserting and removing it a few times over the past year put it out of commission. At this point I'm left with an expensive laser pointer, and it's frustrating to know that the mouse itself is probably fine and the only thing preventing me from using it is a bad dongle. I'm now using an old wireless Microsoft laser mouse that's still going strong after 15 years, dongle and all. Maybe I just got a bad unit and you'll be luckier than I was, but as it stands I can't recommend this mouse.

I've just started using this, so can't comment on durability or battery life. However, I can say that it is exactly what I wanted for my purpose. I have an exercise bicycle facing a large projector screen, and like to watch lectures from a local university course I'm auditing while I cycle. Perhaps in testament to the attention spans of modern students, they've broken the lectures into tiny 2-9 minute segments. This is very frustrating to stream, because I have to get off the bike, move to the next video via my mouse, and get back on. Doing that 5-10 times per workout is annoying and disruptive. This wireless mouse does the trick perfectly, and I now can switch with ease. I find the device itself quite ergonomic. It probably isn't precise enough (in my hand at least) for technical applications, but you probably wouldn't want a tiny thumb trackball for those anyway. It certainly can point and click well enough to navigate a web browser. It's also much more useful than position-aware devices which try to be clever. No calibration or setup is necessary. This literally is just a trackball mouse with a trigger button --- it has no idea where you are, and doesn't need to. On my Ubuntu (linux) system, it required no installation. I literally plugged the little usb receiver nub in, and the device worked like a charm (just make sure you flip the on switch hidden under the mouse unit). I operate it around 20 feet from the receiver nub and it works fine. There's also no need to point it at the nub. My receiver nub location is somewhat obstructed, and that isn't a problem.
