Verdict

The Logitech MX Ergo is an advanced wireless trackball mouse featuring a unique adjustable hinge that allows users to tilt the device between 0° and 20° to reduce muscular strain by up to 20%. It is equipped with a 500mAh rechargeable Li-Po battery providing up to 4 months of use, and a precision mode button that toggles between high-speed and high-accuracy tracking (DPI range 512–2048). Connectivity options include both Bluetooth and a Unifying USB receiver, supporting a multi-computer workflow through Logitech Flow across 8 buttons, 6 of which are customizable. Main pros include its exceptional ergonomic comfort, high build quality, and long-lasting battery life. Notable cons include its exclusively right-handed design, a steep learning curve for those new to trackballs, and a bulky, heavy frame that is unsuitable for travel or high-speed gaming.

What customers dislike about Logitech MX Ergo?

  • Uses an outdated Micro-USB charging port instead of the modern USB-C standard (on the original model)
  • Frequent reports of 'double-clicking' issues or switch failures after 2-3 years of heavy use
  • Exclusively right-handed design with no left-handed version available
  • Requires regular maintenance as the trackball sensor cavity accumulates dust and skin oils quickly
  • Significant learning curve for users transitioning from a standard mouse to thumb-based trackball control
  • Relatively high price point compared to other ergonomic trackballs like the Logitech M575
  • Heavy and bulky design makes it less suitable for travel compared to more portable options
