Trackball Mouse Hurts Wrist

I am so grateful to have found the Kensington Trackball. I bought it to replace two Logitech trackballs that I had previously owned (the M570 and the Ergo M575). I had to go online to find the Kensington because all of our local stores only carry Logitech. The Kensington is brilliant. Once you learn how to customize the trackball using Kensington's software, it's easy to find the most comfortable angle for your wrist. The Kensington is solid and heavy, which I like. It stays in place on your desktop. The USB dongle connects the mouse without disruption. And I like the scroll wheel. The Kensington itself is more intuitive to use than you would think, and (hopefully) it will last a long time. It comes with a manufacturer 3-year warranty, which is the longest manufacturer warranty that I have seen on trackball mice of any brand. This mouse is definitely worth the price. I take online classes and write computer programs, so this trackball mouse helps a lot with relieving wrist and forearm pain. It's worth the investment. It takes a few days to get used to it, but once you do, it's doubtful that you will go back to other mice, trackpads, and such.

I'm a trackball convert. I was having a lot of wrist pain using my trackpad or mouse. The trackball is very ergonomic for me -- very comfortable and very intuitive. I really like the scrolling ring.

I like Trackball mice; I don't have to slide my hand and the mouse all over. It's healthier for my wrist. Usually, I've had wireless Trackball mice but have become disillusioned with them. I get tired of changing and buying batteries for them. This mouse works great; it's response, easy to program, and having a cord is NOT a problem.

I was getting some carpal tunnel in my wrist from my regular mouse so I decided to try this trackball. I love it. I still use my mouse with my right hand and this with my left. I'm now ambidextrous now.

I like trackball mice because there's less stress on my arm and wrist moving the mouse around on the desk surface. This is my second Kensington Trackball mouse; I have the larger wireless version in my office. I use this smaller, more mobile Orbit when I am working elsewhere in the house or traveling. It's much more compact and travels well. There was no set-up or driver download involved with my MacBook Pro. Ready to go at once.

Bought this to relieve wrist pain caused by mouse use. Was hard to learn to use the mouse on my non dominant hand. Much easier to train myself to use this trackball on the non dominant hand instead. Works great out of the box. Shipping was fast and the team packed the item very securely with bubble wrap. My only complaint, as others have mentioned, is that the angle of the trackball is at an incline which can cause wrist pain after extended use. The angle should be at a decline instead. There are solutions for this (3D printed stands) and the newer trackball model is more neutral. I bought this model anyway because I prefer wired peripherals.

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.

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.)

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.

Works great for me. Very good trackball mouse.
