Upgrade from M570 Trackball
on September 18, 2020
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
tl;dr - consider buying if, 1) you're familiar w/using a trackball, 2) you want a trackball that controls two computers, 3) you want an 20º angle (or 30º with the base that comes Best Buy version), and/or 4) precision mode is desired. If not, the M570 is a better value.
I've used trackballs since corded Trackman Wheel (early 2000s), then upgraded to wireless M570 five years ago. Decided to try the Ergo because I had some Best Buy points and $10 off Best Buy birthday credit.
I like that the Ergo can control two computers. I'm neutral on the different angles, and haven't really used the precision control

Performs well for typing
on August 28, 2020
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't use it for gaming but liked it for the price ($40 off on sale), switches (green - clicky but I work at home), volume/mute button (great when answering phone calls) with the backlighting as a perk (I use solid white - boring but I like it).
Know that the keyboard cable is VERY thick and not easily inserted in cable management slots (channels) - I skipped this. You'll need an extra USB port if you want to use the pass-through port (not USB-3)

Solid keyboard to get when on sale
on June 19, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
summary - d*mmit Jim, I'm a typist, not a gamer
Picked up this highly rated keyboard (multiple websites) for $130 because I was curious what a top-of-the-line mechanical keyboard was like. I have a reverse learning curve (Microsoft ergo keyboard 4000 are my go-to) and other than constantly hitting the Cap Locks key when I want to Tab, this has been a terrific purchase.

USB hub capabilities make it stand out
on April 10, 2020
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Plenty of hard drives out there but none without hub/charging capabilities. Can both daisy-chain and charge - from the Seagate website: each USB Type A port outputs up to 1.5 Amps / 5 volts, so enough to charge many devices (phones and tablets). Worth it when on sale ($150ish or lower)

Good drive (on sale) but doesn't work w/TCL TV
on January 31, 2020
Posted by: PeteR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this as an external drive for vids & music for a TCL - 43" Class - LED - 5 Series TV. Unfortunately, the USB port doesn't provided enough power for it to work. Had to buy a USB-2 powered hub and even then, reading the drive is hit or miss. The drive itself is a champ though.

Good protection but also bulk

Picked this up to protect a 7th gen iPad purchase. Big difference from the Apple iPad cover on an iPad Air 2 both in protection and added weight/bulk. Still, a good cover to consider

Follow-up: quick silver (switches)
August 31, 2020
If you feel the need for speed, this keyboard is for you as the silver switches live up to their name (speed) as they are currently the fastest. Great for gaming but for takes a bit of getting used to for typing. I type faster but also make more errors as it's a bit unforgiving. Still happy with the purchase and am slowly getting better

Trackballs are interchangeable

The blood red one from my Trackman Wheel fits perfectly in the Ergo. Also, Papermate Stick pens are the right size to pop out the ball if you want to clean the sensors

Had potential to be very good. Solidly built, good response to controls. However, no direct method to program it into AiMesh system. This is a huge negative for me.
