My current trackball has lost its smoothness and feels “sticky” no matter how well, or often I clean it.

So, I’m looking for a trackball (thumb controlled) with the following features:

  • Bluetooth wireless with support for at least two connections (for laptop and PC media station).
  • Uses AA or AAA batteries.
  • Uses bearings.
  • Set at a tilt/ergo angle.
  • Repairability is also important, but not a total dealbreaker if the mouse is high-enough quality.

So far, most that I’ve found will lack one of those features, but I’d really like to have all of them, if possible.

    I’ve not seen one that meets all of those. Best one I’ve ever used is the Logictech MX Ergo

    • Wireless with multi-device support
    • Internal rechargeable battery
    • Plastic roller style bearings
    • Tiltable
    • Not repairable, and the mouse button click sensors fail at a fairly high rate. I blow threw one of these about once every 18-24 months. I know you can repair this, but I’m not willing to dust off my soldering skills after decades of disuse.
