Hi, I'm currently using an old Logitech M570 at work and I'm looking to buy a trackball for my home pc as well. I have a Logitech G502 at home and will likely be alternating between those two.

I'm pretty happy with the overall feel of the M750 so I was thinking about the Logitech Ergo M575 or 575S. The MX Ergo S also looks good with the ability to tilt, but it's too expensive imo. I would like it to stay under 50 €.

One thing that concerns me is the durability of the mouse switches. I already had to replace my G502 once because of Logitech's dreaded double click problem and I'm starting to get the same symptoms on the M570. Is this something I still sould be concerned about?

Which other manufacturers or models would you recommend?

I switched from a Logitech m570 to an elecom track ball that is now gone. But replaced by the ek-g https://elecomusa.com/products/m-xt2urbk-g

Edit: I said etekcity when I meant elecom

Cannot vouch for that specific Logitech model or that etekcity because I haven't used them, but I can vouch for the elecom one. So far the only problem I've had so far was caused by me not removing the ball and cleaning out the dust and stuff.
