Kensington Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring

 

If you're tired of mouse-related wrist injuries but don't like trackballs because of the lack of a scroll wheel, then the Orbit Trackball makes a lot of sense at a surprisingly acceptable price.

Integrated scroll wheel works really well ; Includes wrist rest ; Ball can be juggled around for inspiration

Wrist rest may over-extend fingers ; Scroll wheel feels a little loose ; Still tethered by a cable

Trackballs remain a niche product, partly due to the different set of mousing skills they supply, partly due to the price premium that most trackballs command and partly due to the lack of feature parity with even the cheapest mice. The Kensington...

KENSINGTON K72337EU Orbit Laser Trackball

 

Much easier to control the cursor than a normal mouse and if used in conjunction with a laptop touchpad then even more versatile.

Not many, or any. Curiously, in a working office environment with a desktop set up a normal mouse seems better. Difficult to explain why though.

Great if you sufer from RSI! No more aches and pains now...

Scroll wheel a bit stiff at first, but has now loosened with a little use.

fits in small space no need to move a mouse, faster more accurate movement, very fast scrolling. I think this would be good for games. Only use my first 2 fingers and thumb.I Love it

can give you pins n needles due to your hand resting on surface. I find it hard to use a normal mouse, likewise my friends find this one hard to master. need to remove fluff, dust etc from the ball housing but this is only once a week and takes seconds...

Due to problems relating to arthritis I have developed difficulty using my right forefinger which proved problematic using a conventional mouse. The trackball has helped with this as I use my thumb for left clicking and index finger for right clicking....

Good value for money.

At times overly sensitive - screen moves up and down without touching the rollerball.

KENSINGTON K72337EU Orbit Laser Trackball

 

Trackball moves smoothly, quite comfortable to use, no compatibility probs with Win 10 as some people said they had.

This is a pretty decent trackball but it is sold on its good ergonomics. I think they could be better though. I am a right handed user about 6'2" (188cm) I reckon my hands are about average size for my height (glove size 9.0) The right button that I...
