welspo Wireless USB Handheld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser Pointer

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.

Only had this one half of one day but it's pretty cool so far. My laptops scratch-n-sniff pad was glitching out, double clicking when it wasn't supposed to or not clicking at all. Don't have room for a mouse, so I was planning on taking the laptop apart and see if I could clean the click-pads or something. THEN I remembered these "air mouse" sort of things, liked what I saw and ordered this one. The plastic is pretty cheap feeling but not terrible, there are some sharp edges I need to attend to, but no end-of-the-world type problems. The tracball IS definitely too squirrely, I fixed it by putting a bit of tape across the front so the ball has some friction to defeat and that has made it MUCH better. The laser pointer is nice but it occurred to me: what would be cool and functional is an on-board microphone since there is SO much speech to text going on these days. Liken' it so far, we'll see how it goes :-) Ok, two days later and the tracball is already failing. Turned it on and off, unplugged the stub etc. Everything else ( scroll wheel and buttons ) works but the ball goes silent. Sometimes if I smack it, it will wake up, but not so far today. Update: the tracball has locked up every day since I have had it. Two days ago it locked up and I sat it aside and struggled my way through what I was doing with the laptops touch pad. I picked the tracball up to see if it came back to life and it was HOT! I got the battery door open but the battery ribbon wouldn't pull it out so I got it out with a fingernail, that batt was RED HOT! I grabbed it with a rag and threw it out on my concrete porch. Later I put a normal rechargeable battery in it and it hasn't locked up or gotten hot ever since. So if you buy one, throw out that chinese battery and put a decent one in and hopefully avoid this drama. Hate to think what would have happened had I not rechecked the device for several hours. Included a pic of the faulty battery.

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

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.

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.

I've owned several trigger/handheld mouses before. They're the only option for me. Unfortunately there aren't many companies making them. The other one I had was comfortable to use but was extremely chincy and would break after a few weeks, It wasn't a fluke I bought three. After the third one i decided to hunt for a new design. This seemed to be the best option. Pros Use with or without wire. Charges fast, and hold a charge for hours turns of automatically after a minute, and a click revives it Cons I feel like this was designed for people with small hands. My hands are a little smaller than the average man's The mouse doesn't properly fit my hand. The curve of the body is to steep. I have to curl my palm around it in and unnatural way to access the track ball... Let me put it like this. If i hold the mouse the way my body wants to hold it then the trackball lands on my palm... The trackball is really tiny. That means you have to turn your mouse speed down about 50% to even use it. Once you begin using it you're realize you have to strain your hand in order to apply the extreme dexterity it takes to hold your hand in this unnatural position. Honestly it kind of defeats the whole purpose of a trigger mouse. I overcame this by using the middle of my thumb to move the ball. Instead of the tip like i normally do That being said I'm getting used to using it. It's better than using a touch-pad or a regular mouse. Those things are murder on my wrist.

It is ugly but it gets the job done with accuracy! I was impressed by the quality of this mouse actually. It is a bit larger than I expected but I have small hands. I like this because I do not have to rest my own on the table. It is great for variety of movement. I can stand on balance board and still use computer while balancing. Also, it can be used in both hands. I highly recommend for anyone looking for balance of movements at work. Some of the buttons I am not sure what they are for. Overall, great product and came with battery. Little USB plug thing gets magnetically attached to the unit so it kind of sticks together.

Very sensetive even after reducing sence settings. Material is weak, not durable

buy a known brand

لم يعجبني لانه لا يوجد به ليزر كما هو مذكور كما انه لا يستحق ثمنه كل الازرار تعمل بنفس الوضع انا مستاءة من المنتج

Trackball is very loose which makes it incredibly inaccurate for using this as a proper mouse and clicking/selecting objects in the computer. The simple fact of slightly moving your hand or pressing the ‘click’ button itself makes the trackball move and the pointer too (making you click on something else) Perhaps an ok product for powerpoint presentations but definitely a waste of money and completely unusable as a mouse. I’ve put a little mark on the trackball for my video so people can see how much the ball moves loosely without input, so people understand what I mean
