Overview

The Logitech MX ERGO Plus is a high-end, 2017-model ergonomic mouse that has a trackball and scroll wheel designed for office users. This model is equipped with a tilt metal plate, tilting up to 30° to relieve stress on the wrist. Equipped with nine different buttons, this device offers unlimited customization, just like many top computer mice. It pairs via both Bluetooth and a USB receiver.

Featuring a rechargeable battery, this device is fairly portable. However, Gamers will be disappointed with its 125 Hz fixed polling rate, which may slow down response times during gameplay. Designed for right-handed users, it’s not ambidextrous. This device has a sturdy plastic body. It’s fully compatible with Windows and macOS, working with the Logitech Options software to manage settings. Read on for details about the Logitech MX ERGO Plus, and check out the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 review if you need a smaller model.

What Is Not on the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

The Logitech MX ERGO Plus is a unique trackball mouse with a stellar build quality that provides three different levels of ergonomic tilt. It’s best suited for medium and large hand sizes, but those with small hands may not be as comfortable. Thanks to the company’s proprietary Flow technology, this mouse can connect to two devices simultaneously, making it more versatile. It offers six programmable buttons, a responsive scroll wheel, and easy-to-use customization software.

The MX ERGO Plus is good for office and productivity usage with a fixed 125Hz polling rate, 2048 DPI, and 18 ms click latency. However, these same measurements make this a sub-par choice for gamers. The trackball has a learning curve, but the ergonomics and four-month battery life make this an excellent option for long-term use.

Equipped with a thumb rest, Logitech M570 may feel more comfortable to some users than the Logitech MX ERGO Plus, which instead features a trackball. It also has a wider 200 CPI to 4,000 CPI range, translating to more sensitive tracking than the Logitech MX ERGO Plus, which has a tracking range of 50 to 1,150 CPI. However, some people may prefer the pinky rest on the Logitech MX ERGO Plus. Be sure to check out our Logitech MX Master 3 review for details.

Featuring a rechargeable battery with a battery life of up to 4 months, the Logitech MX ERGO Plus has a more sustainable power system than the Logitech ERGO M575, which uses AA batteries. With six programmable buttons, it’s also easier to customize than the Logitech ERGO M575, with its three. For details, see our Logitech ERGO M575 review.

Both the Logitech MX ERGO Plus and the Kensington Pro Fit have a trackball, so they are somewhat similar. However, the Kensington Pro Fit ergonomic trackball mouse has a more vertical-mouse design, which may present a steeper learning curve than the more horizontal Logitech MX ERGO Plus ergonomic mouse. The Logitech MX ERGO Plus also has nine buttons, three more than the ones on the Kensington Pro Fit. See our Kensington ProFit Wired Optical Mouse review to learn more.

Tilting up to 30°, the Logitech MX ERGO Plus is more versatile than its predecessor, which lacks a tilting plate. It is also rechargeable, unlike the older version, which uses AA batteries. Featuring adjustable CPI, the ERGO Plus is easier to customize than M570, with its fixed CPI. Our Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball review offers details about the older model.
