Gateway Computer Black Screen Blinking Cursor

I'm at the computer 12 hours/day and I find a trackball much better than a mouse for my hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. My Logitech Trackball developed floating cursor and I couldn't cure it. I looked at lots of recommendations from friends and relatives, but no one mentioned the Kensington SlimBlade Trackball. I found it on my own, and it is perfect for me. The large ball makes for easy cursor precision. Its simple clean design is very appealing to me. It's the easiest least stressful pointing device I've ever used. (I started out with a CPM machine so some of you will have an idea of how many pointing devices I may have used over the years.)

The cursor on my old wireless mouse was jumping around the screen after I purchased my new laptop, but this one with Bluetooth is working like a charm. It's smooth and there is no interference with the Logitech keyboard receiver (for an external monitor) and other items that are plugged into a multiport hub. This MX Anywhere Mouse is easy to charge, even while using it, as the port is at the front rather than on the bottom of the mouse, and the charging cable connects directly to my new MacBook Pro M1 laptop.

The big ball makes it easy both to control it with accuracy and to spin it to move the cursor fast around the screen. The ring is a great help for scrolling. The 4 buttons allow several combinations to program commands. Very comfortable to use with the wrist rest.

Having the LCD screen makes the charger a much better tool than the standard blinking light setup on original unit. Ability to charge 2 batteries at once a bonus as well.

With the latest firmware update, thing are running smoothly so far. Included firmware was quite old. Blinking screen, cycling reconnection, and so on. The firmware seems to have fixed all this. Always stressful to update a device that has connection hickups over this same connection. I purchased that for a egpu and I still didn't test it yet. As long a the main functions of the device work pretty well, it deserves a 5 stars.

I could not get a strong signal TV was blinking.
