-Trackbar is sticky and requires too much friction to go left and right
-Scroll wheel sticks and can only do half a rotation before I have to unstick it by banging on the wheel
-Trackbar not rubberized like the RollerMouse
-Lacks friction adjustment
-Software utilized to reprogram the extra buttons do not work
-It's too wide if you don't use the palm rest.
-The button locations are awkward (they should have a button group after the trackbar so the index fingers can use them)
-Pressing on the trackbar does not signal a Left Click like it does on the RollerMouse Pro.
Overall, it's not worth the 75 bucks spent on this unit, if anything, its build quality is worse than the freebie Dell Mice that they hand out with every new computer.
It would be better if the unit was lower and were able to slide underneath the keyboard.I use the new slim Apple Keyboard for Macs (the new one), and if it came from the space bar out diagonally right at a 30 degree angle from the keyboard, it would work so much better.
But unfortunately, the palm rests are not removable and the unit was built to be big and bulky.If anything it's not as ergonomic as it was originally purported to be because the hand's positioning is still the same as using a regular mouse.With you requiring to lift your hand and have your wrist at a strange angle to work.

Product Description:
Ergonomics is the study of effective designing things for human comfort and use. Ergonomics, itself, seems to have become a clich , diluted from overuse by designers and manufacturers.

Many mouse manufacturers add the word "ergonomic" when describing the mouse design. Sometimes the mere act of continually reaching for and the frequent use of a mouse might not be ergonomic.
The Trackbar Emotion 2009 is a centered pointing device that eliminates the need to reach for your mouse. Reaching for a mouse repeatedly throughout the day, or holding the arm in a reaching posture for long durations while doing mouse intensive tasks is considered a probable cause of arm, shoulder and neck pain that may result as discomfort for many computer users.
The 2009 version has a rubberized clickable roll. It was chosen by the attendees and awardedBest Product" at the 2007 National Ergonomics Conference. The Trackbar Emotion is plug-n-play, and will work in both PC and Mac environments without additional software. Automatic voice recognition systems are built into Trackbar Emotion, which works with computers using either Microsoft VISTA or Apple Mac OS X Leopard. Consult your computer software manual or the manufacturer for further instructions how to activate this software. Microsoft XP has this software, without charge, on their website. You may download and install this on your XP system and enjoy this voice feature.
Place the Trackbar at the front of the keyboard (closest to you). Its central position and intuitive sensors and controls let you move around with both precision and comfort. It even supports your wrist and fore-arm to reduce possible support injury.
So who says you have to hold and maneuver your traditional mouse? The Trackb
