Trackball Gaming Controller

I took my gaming to the next level with this controller and I love using it!

This is my first trackball and a lot of research went into choosing this one. I wanted a high quality device and to be able to do general pointing tasks for work as well as gaming. I looked at all the usual peripheral makers and was pretty unimpressed with the options with regard to quality, durability, serviceability, ergonomics, etc. I visited various forums to see what trackballs folks were using, how, and what the experience was for gaming. I happened upon one random comment from 11 years ago, I rock a CST myself. I'd not seen CST mentioned elsewhere...turns out it's the predecessor to the L-Trac. I found my way to X-keys and looked over the specs and it met all my requirements. The L-Trac ball is enormous and I love that about it. It feels sturdy and it is. The enclosure, rollers, ball, and cable are all very well made. While ergonomics are very individual, for me this device has been comfortable to use and I became proficient with it very quickly. Check the more in-depth reviews and videos out there to get a sense of whether it'll work for you.

I got this for a home theater/gaming room and it rocks. I would like the controller to have the tubi, netflix, peacock buttons to be costum designated like people individually could set those buttons to the services they prioritize.

This Logitech joystick/flight controller has met every expectation for my gaming experience. Starting with the price, it was extremely reasonable. It was very easy to just plug in and go with the USB cord. No need to for calibration of any kind. It is also very versatile for the different uses that various gamers may have. The packaging was very easy to open and also designed for ease of product replacement in case of need for return. The only drawback is that there were no instructions included for programming the series of buttons on the base of the joystick. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend the Logitech G Extreme 3D Pro Joystick to other gamers.

Pug it in and use an older trackball.

I have been using a trackball for more at least fifteen years (my preference). The 4-button USB Expert Pro Mouse - Trackball by Kensington is there best trackball yet.

My Kensington Orbit Trackball is exceptional. Easy to use and very conforaable to the hand. I have been using a different brand trackball for many years and was disappointed that it is no longer manufactured. Thought it was the end of the line until I used the Kensington Orbit. One feature that I like is the scroll ring. Another feature that was important to me was the position of the trackball allowing me to use my index finger instead of a thump operated track ball. I would highly recommend this to anyone who uses a trackball. Thank you, Con Levenduski

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.)

I tried several mice and trackballs including logitech M570 and the Trackball Marble. This trackball by far is the best for CAD. The ball movement is so precise, fast and smooth. The stroll ring could be better, but it's not so essential to my work. Highly recommended.

My 2nd Orbit Trackball. The first lasted MANY MANY years. Made the mistake of buying a cheaper Logitech trackball, that barely lasted ONE year. I really like the big buttons on the Orbit Trackball, & the velocity response (can move cursor both in very small increments, or sweep across the screen quickly). Because I've had a small computer desk (30 wide) for 35yrs, a trackball is necessary. My extended keyboard & trackball fit nicely. A mouse not only requires MUCH more space, I HATE constantly picking up & relocating a mouse to move around the 21 monitor: a waste of time, distracting & frustrating. I never have to look to find where my trackball is! Plug & play simplicity, & easy to clean.
