NOT FOR MAC OS
While this trackball might work with your Mac, be assured that the software Logitech offers to Windows users (Setpoint) for custom izing how the trackball will work, is non existent for Mac OS. Logitech is aware that this is true, but does not pre-warn potential Mac users either in its product description or on its Support page. Shame on Logitech. It has the right to ignore Mac users and not offer software which is Mac compatible, but it does not have the right to entice buyers and then say, as the Logitech support person said, "sorry, there is no Setpoint for this product for Mac". …

Great Mouse Alternative
I really like using this trackball. Its a little different and takes some getting used to for some people. But its nice to not hav e to lift the trackball as you get to the edge of the mousepad. So its great for tight quarters. Also I'm pretty sure its easier on my wrist and its try comfortable too! …

Nice for heavy web users / Learning curve
Would buy it again.
I am on the computer all the time - web browsing and online software, spreadsheets, photoshop, etc. The do wn side of that is my hand and arm take a beating. I bought this Logitech Wireless M570 mouse because a friend had it and said it reduced the strain on his arm. If I put in a lot of hours I start to feel like I am getting carpal tunnel syndrome. Since staying off the computer is not much of an option for me (it would be the equivalent of a carpenter breaking his hand or a dancer breaking a leg), I made the switch.
There is a learning curve to this mouse since you need to adjust to how it works. That adjustment happened in a day or few due to my heavy usage, with the first few hours being the most noticeable. Some people will not like the change, but I needed to do something or my arm would get worse. I think it's worth it and would make the same decision a year later to buy this mouse. My arm feels better for it.
With all this said, don't expect a complete miracle, a mouse can only do so much if your arm hurts like mine did and the worse it gets the harder it will be to reserve. …- Written by Scott R from Denver

BEST LOGITECH product.
I had the last wireless mouse they made , and I have to say this is a vast improvement over the earlier model. I plugged it in, an d it worked, instantly! to those saying this lacks a software driver , it don't need em ,it just works! logitech products don't usually need drivers to run Mac products. didn't even need to change the mouse settings. this is the most responsive mouse ,ever thanks to the super small receiver which practically hides in the port it also has a better range than my last one. if I break this one I will go out and buy another one. …
