Trackball Mouse With Scroll

Compared to the mouse, this trackball takes some getting used to, though I'm finding the scroll ring, ball and left button intuitive, and will learn to use the right button with time. I am glad that I also ordered the mouse pad with gel wrist rest; much more comfortable than the extended tailpiece.

Love this product! Kensington's Trackball with scroll ring is the BEST. It helped heal my carpal tunnel due to the natural relaxed hand postion, and it's fantastic for the precise work I do. Toss the mouse and upgrade to a comfortable, efficient, smooth-gliding Trackball. (NOTE: unlike a mouse, there is 1 bit of maintenance to keep it going through it's full warranty period - to wipe the sensors clean where the ball sits. Super easy, to do, but FYI for Trackball newbies.) Cheers!

I have arthritis in my thumb & this trackball/mouse is fantastic.The large ball & the scroll wheel is very accommodating & easy to use.The wrist pad that is included is comfortable & attaches to the mouse so there is no slipping away.

This one was a gift. I have 2 that I use myself, for different computers. It's more comfortable for me to use than a mouse, faster to scroll, and more precise for cad work. I've run it on Win7, 10, and Linux. The white one is cute, it has a little red glow because of the sensor that you can see at night, through the space around the trackball, and the trackball itself is a little bit glittery. I just bought the different color so we could tell them apart, but she likes the white, too, so a win-win.

I used one at work and had to get one for home. It is easy to operate, trackball is very responsive and smooth. Ring around the trackball that lets you scroll up and down works great (feels cheap but works great)... I set it for small increments and it makes for a very smooth scroll. This trackball keeps you from gripping something too small for your hand... helps you be safer ergonomically. Try it, you'll love it. I use this instead of many types of mice and instead of the track pad built into my laptop.

As the headline says. I like the scroll wheel too. I use it at a workstation w/o room for a mouse.

In a touch screen digital world, switching from Logitech MX Master mouse to Kensington Expert felt like going Back to the Future. I gave myself 7 days to work only on Kensington Expert Mouse. The tactile feedback of a large ball turned out to be extremely satisfying experience. The feature I've used the most on MX Mater, and I thought I would not have on Expert Mouse was a thumb-wheel function, which was setup to switch between the 3 virtual desktop screens I have on my Mac. Quickly I've discovered that the top buttons on the Expert Mouse are perfect replacement for my MX master thumb-wheel. I've also programmed top buttons to run Expose when pressed simultaneously - the feature I used on MX Mater with a thumb button. Now the biggest issue was a middle mouse click.. but it turned out to be as simple as programming two bottom buttons acting as the one, when pressed both at the same time. The big bonus is that if one needs to use buttons to perform different actions, one can do so. Kensington software allows per application button customization. I would consider all mentioned above as pros for this product.. now few if any cons - the scroll ring needs a redesign. At first I thought that I may have a faulty item, but watching couple of videos on the internet, I've found out that that gritty feeling is due to the ring design implementation. It's true.. the grittiness fades with use, but it's still far cry from a silk-smooth operation of MX Master scroll wheels. Minor cons is a somewhat high profile of the Expert Mouse. I have a large hand, so this is no issue for me at all. I'm looking forward to get the Kensington SlimBlade, which in my mind would eliminate high profile and gritty scroll ring. Overall.. if your desk keyboard/mouse space is limited, or you want to discover what you were missing all these years, using regular mouse - trackballs are way to go. Especially if you have a full size keyboard. Excellent product - highly recommended.

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.
