Kensington Orbit Black Scroll Ring USB Wired TrackBall Mouse

Pros: It is an ok trackball. I wanted to get back into trackball mouse for gaming. This is not what it is for. Its smooth and works like it supposed to but was hoping a bit more. I would recommend for web browsing and data scrolling. The ring works great for that.

Cons: Just simple, price

Other Thoughts: It came with extra wrist pad for comfort. I found a great mouse for gaming and its the Shogun Bros. Ballista MK-I 82 Wired Pro 8200 dpi Commander Series

Pros: Very stable base. mouse pointer moves with just a light touch from the finger. No wrist movement needed. Includes scroll wheel in perfect location, around the trackball. Very accurate for artwork. The "clicking" sound is not as loud as other mice, which allows me to do my work without waking up my wife. It also as a "soft" feel to it beneath my palm. The buttons are of a pliable plastic - a high quality feel to the overall construction.

Cons: Only one color option, black. I wanted a white trackball to go with my white keyboard and white laptop on my white desk. The kensington trackball mice of the past were light grey, a better color.

Other Thoughts: I use out my mice rather quickly, but I believe this one will last longer.

Pros: -Very beneficial in standing computer station environment, reduction in the movement required to interact with the computer over a mouse.
-Scroll function is extremely easy to use, you can hold shift to scroll the horizontal bar if you need to
-Once you have built up some muscle memory, you have far more control in tight areas. this is because you can do clicks without any motion of the ball, and small motions are also very easy, so this equipment is better than a mouse if you have deal with multiple points of focus that are close to each other in your software

Cons: Learning curve for muscle memory. For right handed use the left click happens with your thumb. The first time you put your hand on this, you can barely click because of old muscle memory, causes you to bump the ball while trying to click. It was similar but less severe for me for left clicking with ring/pinky that typically have done no clicking for me in the past

Other Thoughts: I needed a pointing device to address hand pain in my standing PC setup. This brought more benefits as well as I haven't had any more pain

Pros: Very easy to learn. Smooth operation. Easy to keep clean. Pricing was very reasonable. Doesn't require a lot of deask room for usage. Scroll ring is super easy to manuver.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: If you purchase this be aware that it will make your hand/thumb sore for a few days until you get the hang of it. Also, the palm rest isn't attached. If you scoot the mouse around, it will come unattached. (It's slightly finicky when reattaching)

Pros: Trackball motion is nice. The provided wrist rest gives a very nice feel.

Cons: Scroll wheel broke after about a year.

Other Thoughts: It's too bad there aren't more options for trackballs. When it works, ergonomically, it feels very good. But I would expect to get more than a year out of a $40 mouse.

Pros: Nice shape, and the scroll ring is a nice touch.

Cons: I haven't even been using it for a week and it's begun to malfunction. The buttons won't accept a normal press, they have to be pressed very hard. The screen scrolls randomly when the left button is pressed.

Other Thoughts: The entire purchase experience with this trackball was unpleasant. UPS tried to deliver it to my apartment complex during lunch on Friday. Of course the office was closed, so they held on to it until the next Tuesday. Now the equipment is failing after less than 1 week of use? Nope. They got my money this time but Kensington never will again.

Pros: The trackball is very accurate, great for gaming. I LOVE the scroll ring! Nice overall build and comfortable to use.

Cons: The buttons feel a tad loose when clicking, but no real issue they work AOK.

Other Thoughts: If you like trackballs and what one for games also, this is a winner!

Pros: -great for gaming
-very accurate tracking
-smooth feeling
-SCROLL RING!!!

This is by far the best trackball I have ever used. I absolutely love the scroll ring for it, it's a great alternative to a scroll wheel.

Cons: There is only a few things that i wish were different about this mouse. First, the button clicks feel cheap, and require more pressure than I would like. Second, I wish the buttons were a little bit closer together. I have big hands, and I even find the button placement too wide, let alone a person with small hands. And finally, I wish there were more buttons on this mouse. I play a lot of Runescape, and with the new Evolution of Combat update, it would help to have a few extra buttons for macros. These aren't really cons, just a few personal gripes, which isn't enough to dock an egg. The Trackball itself is amazing

Other Thoughts: My system specs:
-Thermaltake level 10 snow edition case
-Intel i7 3770k
-H100 water cooling system
-Sabertooth mobo
-EVGA gtx 670 (ftw edition and signature edition)'s in SLI
-vertex 4 SSD
-WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD
-Kensington Orbit w/ Scroll Ring
-Black Widow mechanical keyboard

Pros: The control on this trackball is fast and accurate, making it a good choice for gaming.

Cons: The cable to the USB connector is cheaply crafted, causing it to wear rapidly. Mine started to break after about 8 months and I had to replace the unit.

Other Thoughts: If you want a good cheap trackball this is a good option. Just be careful not to let anything touch the cable and perhaps make sure you have a backup for when this one fails.

Pros: This trackball replaces a well loved, yet sadly departed Trackman Wheel. The Kensington was instantly recognized by KDE 4.8. All device features work flawlessly. The device is nearly perfect.

Cons: The only con? Vertical scroll is awesome. I just there was additional capability for horizontal scroll. That would be perfection.

Other Thoughts: High build quality. Comfortable for all day, high impact usage. Makes being a sysdamn pleasurable.
