Question 1

Is the track ball the same size as on the Slim Blade Trackball i.e., size of a pool ball? Also does do you scroll by rotating the ball and is there a right click to access drop down menus? I am using a Mac.

Accepted Answer

No, the ball is smaller. I actually like it better as it fits the hand and fingers very nicely. you can run the ball with your index finger alone if you want. Intuitive design. I've had the 4-button track ball & this one is better. It's 2 button and Right click is there and performs just like you would expect it to with the drop down menu's. Just like any other mouse would. It has touch pads to the right & left of the ball that work as your scroll ring. Also very nice. you run your finger around the outside of the ball on the 2 touch pads and it performs just as if it was a scroll ring. You don't rotate the ball. Again very intuitive.

Question 2

Short on ports, is this wireless trackball compatible with a wireless keyboard device?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure as it does have it's own RF receiver and I only use it on my laptops. It could work with a keyboard that is RF capable and if they use the same frequency USB receiver.

Question 3

Is this item compatible with the Mac Yosemite OS?

Accepted Answer

Hi Elise, device works great on a PC, no idea on the Mac, can't see why Kensington would release a product that is PC exclusive. You might check the Kensington site with the model number. Good luck!
