Logitech M570 Review
Logitech M570 is a heavy ergonomic mouse.
It has a good quality responsive trackball that would help you to do your work efficiently. This mouse is currently discontinued by the manufacturer.
Now, in terms of OS compatibility, it works ok with Linux, Windows, Mac OS, iPad OS, and Chrome OS.
However, you only get additional functionality with software on Windows and Mac OS.
So, if you are a Linux User, you will be getting only its basic functionality without much customization options.
Pros
Here are some of the great things that I liked about the M570:
- The sculpted shape supports your hand, and your fingers can move freely, even after hours of work.
- Logitech Unifying receiver—The tiny, wireless receiver that stays in your laptop.
- Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity gives you a reliable connection up to 30 feet away with virtually no delays or dropouts.
- Work and play in comfort, with a large, comfortable palm rest and soft-touch finish.
Cons
- The M570 does not support left-handed usage
- Only Basic use Support with Linux/Chrome OS/iPad OS.
Overall, in terms of usability, it is a good product for work.
- Stop chasing a mouse around. Your trackball stays...
- You can go for up to 18 months without changing...
- You get precise cursor control wherever you want...

Logitech M575 Review
Logitech M575 came out as a refreshed version, and many features are better. Also, the support of the latest Logitech Software, Logitech Options, improves these mouse buttons with a ton of customization.
Even being a trackball mouse, you get away with customizing your mouse buttons, and DPI using the Logitech Options software, which is great to have.
The best thing is, with M575, you only rotate your thumb and get all the control of your mouse cursor pointer.
Also, the rear hump on M575 is larger than the M570’s. This makes holding the M575 ERGO more comfortable.
That’s amazing to have, especially if someone works for long hours.
As you read in the case of M570, the Linux OS had only the basic support, the same is true here too.
Here is the OS support: You will get basic functionality in all of Linux OS, Windows OS, Mac OS, and Chrome OS.
But, if you want to use the advanced customization using its software you would need to use either of Windows OS or Mac OS.
Pros
These are some of the great features which I liked about the M575:
- A responsive trackball that tracks accurately and quickly, with fast, smooth cursor control.
- Plug-and-forget Nano-receiver that stays in your laptop, so there’s no clutter on your desk.
- Works on any PC with a USB port—no driver software to install.
- The ambidextrous design gives you the most natural, comfortable feel for either hand.
Cons
Here is a downside which I feel:
- This design is made for right-handed usage. So, if you are a left-handed user, then this mouse is not for you.
- Only Basic use Support with Linux/Chrome OS/iPad OS.
Initially, you may have a learning curve to get accustomed to Trackball, but you will be able to learn it very quickly.
Overall, if I consider all aspects, the M575 is an excellent Ergonomic Trackball mouse.

Design
People are curious to learn about the M570 and M575 because everyone will find their designs unusual.
In terms of design, both look completely different compared to the other optical mice available on the market.
The trackball design not only gives it a distinctive appearance but also offers an ergonomic shape that perfectly fits your hand, enhancing your mouse’s usability.
If I compare the design of the M570 to the M575, I find the M575’s design to be an upgrade over the M570.
I especially like the White color with a blue trackball. It looks amazing.
You need to note that both the Logitech M570 and M575 mice are specially designed for right-handed users and not for left-handed people.
Performance
The performance is a word that would be a fast being lazy.
Guess what?
Initially, it was a bit difficult to get used to the trackball mouse design as we normally use an optical mouse with a very different design.
I felt it would feel easier to use with practice, and then it would be great to measure its performance.
If you use the Logitech M575 or M570, you will feel that performance is like a breeze.
Your tasks would be easier and faster to perform even without moving your mouse by rotating the trackball.
If you do regular work with the Logitech M570 and M575, that would be excellent with the help of trackball.
You can also play games with these mice.
Comfort
The Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball is a good mouse for most people, but if you have a larger hand or want a more comfortable mouse, the M575 Trackball is a better choice.
The M575 has a larger ball and a wider, more comfortable shape.
It also has a convenient on/off switch, but it doesn’t come with an extra Logitech Unifying receiver.
Which is better Between M570 and M575?
The Logitech M575 is an improved version of its predecessor, the M570.
I like ergonomic mice a lot. M575 is a clear winner.
M575 would be a great companion for your work as it will help you be more productive even when not moving your mouse.
You will like the performance, clicking accuracy, and battery life of this mouse.
You will feel very relaxed using this mouse.
Also, if you already have an M570 mouse, the M575 is worth upgrading.
