Blackberry was getting difficult to use the track ball, so I cleaned it per instructions i found on the web. However, it would be no time and it would drag again. Saw this at a cheap price, so what the heck. Super fast shipping. Great instructions and even comes with a tool to help you get the ring off to remove the trackball. Highly recommend if you have any difficulty with the track ball.

This product is working great. It came fast and was sealed in a sturdy package. Could not ask for better service. Thanks

I ordered this trackball on a Saturday and received it in the mail on Monday. Popped the new one into my wife's blackberry and it works great. I chose this middle priced trackball because there were enough negative reviews on the cheaper ones to convince me I might get a bad one. These might all be from the same manufacturer for all I know, but I'm happy with this one. I'm not sure what the magnetic scroll refers to, must be how it works. The pictures on the back are a little hard to decipher if you haven't taken the trackball out and tried cleaning it a few times, those could be clearer.

The product was just as described and everything advertised was included in the package. It was of good quality and very easy to install, My phone now works and I am very happy.

The ball was good, but the ring was a piece of junk. It wasn't even on for a full week and the ring literally fell off. My honest reaction to this was, really?
Apparently there was something wrong with one of the prongs and it broke with regular use. I'm not sending it back because it's too much of a bother, and the ball works so I ended up recovering a ring off of a friend's old blackberry.
The "ring removal device" is just a mini screwdriver that anyone who works with computers would have. For that matter, you could just use a nail file, or your nail to pry the ring off - this is truly just a gimmick and something that will end up in the junk drawer.
Overall, I'm very disappointed in this product.

Replaced my old trackball on my blackberry pearl and now it feels like a brand new phone again. easy to replaced w/ the bonus tool !

Im really happy with these purchase the trackball works like new and its very easy to install. I definitely recommend these product.

This trackball works exactly like the the original one. I bought a cheaper one before, and had to replace it within a month. I would highly recommend this product.

Product was just as described and shipped promptly. What a relief to know that we didn't have to buy another phone just for this part.

I didn't pay much for this trackball so I'm not too disappointed but it isn't as good as it should be. Initially, the motion is silky smooth. Unfortunately, within minutes of use I noticed that it occasionally seems to get caught up and stops scrolling. It also feels like I really have to mash down on it too to engage the button. Admittedly, the whole blackberry trackball design is weak so there may not be much a manufacturer can do with it. I will say my original track ball lasted over a year with no problems versus this one only lasting a few minutes. I still am using it but I saved my old one just in case.
