Kensington Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring

Comments about Kensington Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring:

I switched to using my mouse left handed to save my overworked right hand. When someone loaned me a track ball to try, I liked the reduced wrist motion and unlimited motion (you don't run off the pad and have to "oar" over to keep going). I was addicted to the scroll function, hard to find in left handed devices. This device has ambidextrous buttons and scroll. I have used it for over a week now, and learning has been quick. I don't feel as precise in fine pointer placement, but I am getting faster and more confident. The scroll ring does not seem to be very sensitive in that it takes a lot of movement before it jumps to the next "click". At this time I think I will keep using it and prefer it over a normal mouse.

i lve the stationary mouse, but the scroll ring is not great. It doesn't roll the page smoothly, but the stationary part is great.

I am really enjoying this mouse. I am finding that the right and left click buttons fit my smallish hands. I also find the scroll ring easy to use. I am right handed, but use my mouse with my left hand so I can still write notes while mousing, but I can switch to the right if I need to. Great mouse, I would buy another and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

This is the first 5 star review I have given because it is better than what I expected. very comfortable design and the scroll ring is great!

I've always preferred trackballs to regular mice. I miss the 'chord' function of my older Orbit, but I got used the the scroll wheel quickly. I also like that it is an optical mouse, I expect it to last much longer than the older Orbit models I used.

It's a Kensington. Always lives up to expectations.

This trackball is "ok". Has the basics if you want to use it in place of a general day to day mouse. I bought it for the use of Auto CAD and found it's not really good for that. In Auto CAD there's a lot of need to push the scroll wheel down and this ball does not have a 3rd button to do that.

My other issue I have with it is the little wrist rest that comes with it. It's molded out of a firm vinyl plastic material and does not secure very well at all. It kind of hooks into a groove underneath the base itself but it never stays in place.

Very satisfied with this purchase. The ball is large and comfortably operated with the palm. Scroll ring is also intuitive, and responsive, if a bit slow (haven't checked mouse settings yet - I assume this is a modifiable setting).

I have also used the Logitech trackman pro, which is moved with the thumb, and locks one into right handed usage. I definitely feel the Kensington is more ergonomically friendly. Carpal tunnel concerns dissapear with this trackball. Like the wrist rest as well.
