Best Buy has the same mouse on sale for the same price, but only 2 of the 4 color options (blue/black, blue/white). You can get a 20% off coupon if you have tech to recycle and bring the price down $8 to make it $32.
Community Reviews
Logitech's Ergo M575S is a comfortable thumb trackball that shines for long sessions, couch use, and setups where you do not want to move a mouse around. The ball feel gets praise for precise control, the battery life is described as very good, and the switches are easy to replace when they wear out. The main caveat is Logitech's familiar left click and double click failure over time, and the flat shape may need a riser for better angle. It is a solid, low maintenance trackball if you want ergonomic control without the full MX Ergo feature set.
Long-term use reports show the trackball mouse can keep working for many years before any failure occurs.
The left-click switch can be repaired by replacing the micro switch, which can extend the mouse's usable life.
The trackball style can feel natural for thumb input after acclimation, with reports of avoiding thumb stress.
Trackball control can feel more precise for long sessions, with less frequent trackball cleaning reported.
The left click can start failing or double-clicking after roughly one to two years of use.
The mouse can feel too flat for some setups, and a riser or 3D-printed stand may be needed.
Some users report that the trackball transition from a regular mouse can feel overly spinny and inaccurate at first.
The M575S can lack features compared with MX Ergo models, including on-the-fly DPI adjustment and a vertical stand.

I wonder if people who don't have problems don't use it excessively in, say, a heavy CAD environment where RSI originally develops--or are just under 30 where it literally doesn't matter because you can use anything.
If you want a trackball I think a fingerball is infinitely better. Like the Kensington Expert (though I wouldn't use it in the intended orientation with that terrible wrist rest).
Never once had a RSI injury with my thumb. But first 4 months in college, developed wrist issues from mice and that's when/why I switched over.
EDIT: Logitech M570 was the model that I was referring to. Have 6 of those in my Amazon order history and I'm pretty sure I bought some of them from other retailers as well. I'd guess I went through 10 or so of them (I'm pretty sure a few still work, but most do not because of the clicker issue).
$40 at staples, $40 at logitech.com, $40 at Best Buy, $40 at Microcenter, $40 at walmart.com. Not really much of a deal. Just normal-ish sale.
I actually bought one at Dell.com for the full $50, just to use up Dell rewards... in case anyone is in a similar situation. Harder and harder to find any decent prices to buy smaller items on Dell. (Currently $45 at dell in black or off-white with ... (giggle)... blue balls.)
But this particuar mouse here isnt made as good as the older wired ones, the left click start to double click after a couple years and you gotta replace it. About 3 years ago i sspent the extra money on the 90.00 rechargeable version and havnt had any problems as of yet.

The one with the red ball was the TrackMan Marble (or some variant of it). Most people don't realize that was at least the third major revision of the TrackMan line. The original had a grey ball and was an ergonomic nightmare. It was basically a rectangle with a ball on one side. The second version had a blue ball and looked like a snail.
