Crispy has been, random and capriciously, locking up.
Which is a bummer because I like my old Lenovo.
But a lightbulb went on...
A few days ago, Harvey's laptop crashed hard when her Logitech trackball decided to up and die.
Crispy uses the same model trackball, and it always locked up when I was using it. Mostly while scrolling.
Last night, before I started up my sleep movies, I removed the receiver from the USB port and ran it from the trackpad.
I even did my morning surfing with a movie still playing, something that previously caused the locking up.
So far so good!
Of course, this is being typed out on DerpyPuter...
Unrelated, or maybe related...
I am a big fan of trackballs.
The old, wired, Logitech Trackman Wheel was an outstanding mouse. Rugged and durable.
Logitech stopped making wired trackballs in this format, so we migrated to the similar but wireless M570 and M575.
Looking at my order history at Amazon, I am wondering why I've been so loyal. We have three machines using these mice and I've ordered 7 since 2017. Harvey has ordered three.
FuzzyGeff recommended a different model, Elecom EX-G that's been what I've been using on DerpyPuter. Durability test in progress.
