5.0 out of 5 stars Definite keeper!
I've had the trackball for about a month now. I bought it to replace the wireless Mighty Mouse that came with my Mac 'cause it ate batteries like no tomorrow. VERY, VERY pleased with the trackball. It took me about a week to figure out how to comfortably use it as I had exclusively using a Wacom tablet in place of the mouse, before deciding to get some sort of mouse.The software: To start off, for those reading reviews of those complaining about the program, you CAN plug and play it. You don't actually need the program for the trackball to work. The mouse adjustments that you can make in the System Preferences will still work for the trackball. However, in order to access the additional features, you will need to download the software. It's a very easy process, just go to the website, download and install it (the instructions come in the packet). The icon will show up in your System Preferences window under the Other header. I don't know where it appears for Windows as I've only transferred the trackball between our Macs. In the trackball program, you can adjust the usual features (scroll speed, click speed, etc) and also the left/right combo click which you can set to do stuff like go back or forward. The program also allows you to choose which direction to have the scroll ring turn to go up or down. The default is set to clockwise for scrolling down.The buttons: overall, they're pretty standard in function. However, I do find that sometimes in certain programs like a Flash game, it won't always want to click on the first try, so I wouldn't recommend this for gaming purposes for games where you do need an immediate response. All other uses, I haven't really noticed any problems. I love the option of being able to set the dual click to do something :) As a first time trackball user, something else I also had to remember to do was take my fingers off the ball before clicking as I often catch myself nudging the ball when I click and then missing the spot I wanted to click. Same goes for the scroll wheel. I seem to subconsciously fiddle with that too.Trackball: No issues with it at all. It took some getting used to with adjusting from a mouse or my tablet and I found myself trying to click on the ball itself a number of times. *lol* But no fault of the device.The scroll ring: So far, I haven't experienced any of the major problems that have been complained about so far. Up till about a week ago, I hadn't gotten around to looking into the trackball's software and once I did, it made a huge world of difference with how smoothly the ring scrolled. It felt a little slow, previously to the point where it sort of staggered sometimes. I love how I can now just give the ring a quick flick with a finger and I'll be back at the top of a web page. I've actually caught myself trying to do that with a scroll wheel on a mouse at work and wondering why it just inched up instead of flying up where I wanted it! Keeping in mind of the complaints though, I have been careful with the wheel and trying not to use it when I don't feel I really need to, as not to potentially abuse it to death as I really like it. So if I'm scrolling to skim an article or search it for something, I'll use the scroll bar on the browser, which with the trackball is pretty effortless.Extras: It includes a wrist rest that you can attach to the end of the base. I didn't bother with it as my desk has a built in one.Size of whole unit: it's a decent size for me. My hand length is about 7 inches and the size of the unit allows me to perch my fingertips on the ball and comfortably roll forward to the middle joint of my fingers if I want to do one long continuous drag. I've play tested some older trackballs in stores many years ago when the majority seemed to be a lot larger, so this works fairly well.Advice: if you find yourself needing to clean your trackball, don't use Clorox wipes. It leaves a sticky residues that slows down the ball's spin. I just pulled out the ball and washed it with hand soap and water, wiped out the dust in the holder, dried off everything and stuck it back in.User troubleshooting: If you find that your hand is more tired using the trackball than a regular mouse, try adjusting your chair height. This can make a very big difference. If you have an arm rest on your chair, take advantage of it and adjust your chair height to make the rest level with your trackball.
5.0 out of 5 stars I've been using Kensington Orbit track balls for decades
The best review I can give is my repeated purchase of these. My first purchase of a Kensington Orbit was for an Apple Power PC with their cutting edge and proprietary USB precursor bus. Yes, I am that old. A wired variety is just fine for me, but when I am traveling, a wireless device is better.I love the scroll ring. Using it feels natural, and it never gets in the way when I'm not using it.When you lift your hand from a standard mouse, there tends to be movement of the cursor. When you lift your finger from a track ball, the cursor stays in place. It also takes up very little desk space. I could sit on my bed in a hotel room with the trackball mouse on the mattress and use it very easily. A standard mouse would have challenges in that scenario, partly because it would continue to move around (and move the computer cursor) with every crease, fold and movement of the sheets.This device doesn't overcomplicate things. I have seen others that move the trackball to the left side to be used only by a thumb, have three or more buttons with scroll wheels sticking out of the top or out from the sides. The Orbit is ambidextrous and its operation is clean and intuitive. You don't need an instruction manual. Plug it in and it works.My only complaint is there is no travel case for this device. I haven't found a third party one either. There are travel cases for other Kensington trackball models, but not this one. The trackball can pop out with a little pressure when inverted. This is good so you can occasionally clean up the fuzz and grime that collects over time. Over many years I never had one fail due to dirt build up, but it is good to do for your own piece of mind. This also means the trackball might come loose in baggage. Imagine the nightmare of it rolling around in an airplane cabin because it came apart in your bag! Luckily I have a fabric pouch to carry it in. It is not a custom case intended to keep everything in place, but if anything pops off it will stay contained in the pouch.
El mejir
Se acabó mi problema del túnel carpiano. Es muy cómodo y fácil de usar.Lo mejor es que tiene un switch para cambiar entre uso del receptor y hasta dos instancias de Bluetooth. Tengo una PC personal con el receptor USB y cuando tenga que usar mi laptop del trabajo, simplemente presiono el selector de Bluetooth y se conecta quitando la conexión de la PC.
MOUSE ADAPTADO
PRODUTO DE QUALIDADE, CHEGOU BEM EMBALADO E ANTES DO PRAZO
Amazing quality and perfect for my use
Needed a trackball or trackpad mouse for my racing simulator. Was annoyed at using a normal mouse as I had limited room on my keyboard stand. Looked in to trackpads but wasn't practical as I'm using a triple monitor rig and don't want to be swiping over and over to get across the screen. Decided to give this track ball a try and wow. Absolutely perfect for my use and an amazing product. Good materials, sensitive settings so you're not bothered trying to select something and having the mouse jump around, ergonomic and very comfortable to use. Love the scroll wheel, and the placement of the buttons are perfectly distanced from the ball it self. I have a moderately normal to large size hand so for me it's a perfect size. Didn't expect it to be this big of a product but then again I had no idea what to expect when purchasing and now after having it for a month, I can safely say I'm very happy with the size and the product overall. 100% would recommend to anyone and especially those with racing rigs, this is the best option you'll ever find. I do wish it was around $50, found it to be a little pricy but then again, everything nowadays is. And for the quality you receive, you're definitely not complaining about the price, just in the grand scheme of things, it would be nice if it was a bit cheaper.Overall 10/10
Dejó de funcionar con el nanoreceptor
Solo un par de días después de que cerrara la ventana de devolución, el trackball dejó de funcionar con su nanoreceptor wireless. Sí funciona con el BT pero necesito las 2 conexiones porque tengo 2 computadoras. Ahora ya no me sirve. No lo volvería a comprar.
Muy bueno pero no es para cierto tipo de trabajos.
El Trackball para labores cotidianas es destacado, preciso, se mueve como la seda, el scroll es muy bueno, pero yo encontré 2 inconvenientes.1.- Tengo una PC de la empresa que tiene restricciones de administrador y por políticas de seguridad, no te permiten instalar controladores o software ajenos a los que dichas políticas permite. Al instalarlo en esta PC no lo reconoció, esto seguramente a lo antes mencionado, y la compra fue pensada para utilizarlo exclusivamente en esta PC, ya que al ser USB debería tener una latencia muy baja comparado con el wireless.2.- Lo intenté probar en mi laptop y ahí reconocí todas sus bondades. Pero tiene un pequeño gran inconveniente. Yo ocupo demasiado seleccionar con click izquierdo y moviendo el mouse, puede ser texto, pueden ser celdas de excel, notas, etc. Es el pan de cada día en mi trabajo. Esta acción en el Trackball no es cómoda, al ser tan rápido en su respuesta, incluso bajando la configuración de velocidad, hace que cuando seleccione texto, celdas, etc, cometa muchos errores, porque en lugar de utilizar el índice como lo hacía en el mouse convencional, debo utilizar el pulgar y con el índice o dedo medio, seleccionar lo que necesito. Al ser tan sensible el Trackball la selección que se hace ya no es precisa, se mueve demasiado por que cualquier roce accidental de la pelotita ya te cambió la selección que habías hecho y tienes que hacerlo de nuevo. Esto hizo que en muy poco tiempo de probarlo me terminara doliendo casi igual la muñeca que con un mouse convencional.Esta es mi experiencia, definitivamente me lo quedaría si fuera Wireless y para mi uso personal, pero para lo que lo necesitaba, que es trabajo de oficina en casa, no es lo que estoy buscando. Iba a aventarme un "tiro" con los de sistemas para que me permitieran instalar el controlador para usarlo en la PC del trabajo, pero al tener esa mala experiencia en lo que es seleccionar con el trackball, he decidido mejor devolverlo y buscar algo que se adapte más a lo que requiero.Pienso comprar uno wireless en el futuro pero para mi laptop personal, donde esta acción de seleccionar no es para nada recurrente, es decir para cosas sencillas, para eso el trackball es perfecto, pero para mi trabajo definitivamente no.
