The Logitech M570 came today. It is quite a bit smaller and slightly higher than my old Trackman Marble. So far I am pleased. I can zip the cursor around the screen without wearing out my thumb. Sometimes with the Trackman Marble I can spin the ball and nothing much happens. Even when it's on its best behavior it takes a good while of rolling the ball to get the cursor from one side of the screen to the other.
The M570 is heavier and more stable than the Marble, and is not as apt to slide across the desk...which is why I stuck the Marble down with museum putty. The pinky rest feature of the M570 does not work for my hand, though that is no big deal.
The software for the M570 is a mixed bag (this is under Windows 7). The Logitech Unifying Software can't pair with the device yet shows the device is paired.
The Logitech Mouse and Keyboard software works better but I have not figured out what settings are best, and I have not tried configuring the buttons for WoW.
Thanks again for the suggestions.
