However, once the scroll ring, buttons and the ball all have nicely worn down and are smooth in operation now, this wireless trackball is a joy to use. I usually avoid using product-specific software, but in this case there is a lot to gain and I would recommend using KensingtonWorks to fine tune the trackball.Ĭoming off my Orbit, I was initially disappointed with this wireless trackball in the first month.

The top ones are harder to reach and I have mapped to middle click and the browser back operations.Īll the button mappings, scroll ring speed, cursor speed, application-specific settings and other configuration can be managed by installing the KensingtonWorks software from the product website. The bottom ones are easiest ones to smash and those are what I use as right and left mouse buttons. In this trackball, the buttons are above and below your wrist when using the ball and these are not ideal positions. In the Orbit the right and left buttons are just perfect on the side and large - super easy to smash with any part of the wrist. The buttons on this trackball were what took the most effort to get used to. Thankfully, in a couple of months it got nicely worn down and is super smooth now. The scroll ring is literally a plastic ring and was surprisingly stiff and bumpy to rotate in the beginning.

Another plus is that the trackball can be plopped right next to the keyboard and there is no movement, so it occupies less desk space. Needless to mention that the feel of rotating a ball using several fingers feels just great. All of that just disappeared by switching to a trackball.

But a few years ago I also discovered that my right shoulder would cramp or ache after moving the mouse on a desk surface all day. Initially, it was the influence and cool factor of being in a graphics lab during my Ph.D. where few of my colleagues also used trackballs. I have been using trackballs instead of mice for several years now, both at work and at home.
