Manufacturer description

The Logitech MX ERGO Advanced Wireless Trackball (Renewed) is built for anyone who wants an alternative to a conventional mouse without giving up cursor accuracy. Logitech rates the MX ERGO at 20% less muscular strain than a regular computer mouse, and the design that gets it there is the adjustable hinge: you can tilt the trackball base from 0 to 20 degrees to find a wrist angle that suits your desk height and posture, then leave it there. The sculpted shell supports your whole palm and fingers, with soft rubber across the top for grip through long sessions. Tracking comes from Logitech's…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the MX ERGO actually reduce wrist and hand strain?

Logitech states the MX ERGO requires 20% less muscular strain than a regular computer mouse, largely because your hand stays still and your thumb moves the ball. The adjustable hinge also lets you set a 0 to 20 degree tilt to find a more natural hand position. It is a comfort design claim from the manufacturer, not a medical device.

What does Renewed mean for this trackball?

Renewed units are inspected and refurbished rather than sold as new, and this listing is branded Amazon Renewed. Expect possible light cosmetic wear. Check the product listing for the current return window and warranty terms, since those are set by the refurbisher and not by Logitech.

Will it work with my Mac?

Yes. Logitech lists macOS X 10.12 or later for both connection methods, and Windows 7, 8, or 10 and later on the PC side. Bluetooth pairing needs macOS X 10.12 or later or Windows 8 or later; otherwise use an available USB port with the receiver.

Can I use it with two computers at once?

Yes. The MX ERGO supports Logitech Flow, which lets you control multiple computers and move the cursor between them. Both machines need to meet the listed Windows or macOS requirements and be on the same network for Flow to hand off.

Is the tracking accurate enough for detailed work like photo editing?

It uses Logitech's advanced optical tracking and adds a dedicated precision mode button that instantly switches between fast cursor speed and high precision tracking, so you can slow the pointer for pixel-level selections and then speed it back up.
