Description
The Logitech MX Ergo S represents the pinnacle of ergonomic input design, featuring a unique adjustable hinge that allows users to tilt the device between 0 and 20 degrees. This trackball mouse eliminates the need for repetitive arm movements, significantly reducing muscle strain in the forearm and wrist during extended work sessions. Its stationary footprint makes it an ideal choice for compact workspaces or uneven surfaces where traditional mice struggle.

Compared to traditional flat mice, the MX Ergo S reduces muscle activity by 20%, making it a superior choice for long-term musculoskeletal health. While the MX Master series focuses on traditional sliding movement, the Ergo S prioritizes a stationary footprint, making it more suitable for cluttered desks or ergonomic setups where minimizing shoulder and elbow movement is the primary goal.
Q&A:
- How do I connect the MX Ergo S to two different computers? You can pair the device via the Unifying receiver on one and Bluetooth on the other, then use the Easy-Switch button or Logitech Flow to transition between them.
- Does this trackball support fast charging? Yes, the included Micro-USB cable enables quick charging, where just one minute of power provides enough energy for a full day of typical office work.
- Can I customize the button functions? Users can download the Logitech Options software to remap all eight buttons to specific keystrokes or application-specific commands.
- Is the trackball easy to clean? The ball can be easily popped out through a hole in the bottom of the casing using a thin object for regular maintenance and dust removal.
- What is the benefit of the 20-degree tilt? The tilt allows for a more natural 'handshake' position, which reduces pressure on the median nerve and minimizes forearm pronation.
