In a blast from the past, Logitech releases a new trackball
arstechnica.comWhy do they keep making wireless trackballs? The whole point of a trackball is that it doesn't move, so a cable is a lot less hassle than it is with a mouse. I really don't want to worry about charging or changing batteries on my trackball.

Much more convenient to use with laptops, or with setups where wires are inconvenient for reasons other than mobility while in use (e.g., any situation where you would use a wireless keyboard, which is also usually stationary when in use.)
I wonder what the breakdown is then between wired and wireless keyboards? I have to think the wired ones are far more popular.
I've had a wired Logitech trackball for many years, and I worry that on the day it breaks I won't be able to replace it.
Loving the M570, this one seems interesting. Good to see new trackball products.
