Manufacturer description

The Logitech MX Ergo Plus is a wireless thumb trackball for people who want an alternative to a mouse or touchpad. Logitech says it causes 20% less muscle strain than a regular mouse. The Plus version adds an extra 10-degree wedge to the adjustable hinge, so you can tilt it to 0, 20 or 30 degrees. You move the cursor with your thumb, so your arm stays still.

The scroll wheel also tilts for horizontal scrolling and clicks…
