Kensington Expert Trackball Mouse (K64325), Black Silver, 5"W x 5-3/4"D x 2-1/2"H

Great mouse, especially for my applications (sound engineer and producer). It's no wonder this is the industry standard mouse in so many studios.

Came on time, it was as they described it. However it’s not comfortable at all. Got pain in my wrist.

My opinion is that it would be nice to have a combination of both a traditional mouse and also this one, but i'm more than happy with learning how to use this one like a pro over a period of time. Takes about 10 mins to get the initial hang of it, but after that it's more a matter of fine tuning how you work with it best! (I have the settings so that the cursor moves VERY quickly so it requires a little bit more finesse) but it's just a matter of personal taste. I find it super comfortable to use, and when i have some spare cash, i will buy another one for my other pc. I chose this wired version because i was sick of inconsistencies with my wireless mouse (dropouts occasionally) which is a pain in the ass if you do a lot of dragging and dropping. I've set the top left button to be a 'drag' button... which means you can click it once on the window of choice to move and you won't have to hold it for the duration.... just move it to where you are happy with and single click again to drop it. I recommend this bad boy to people that do a lot of editing. I bought it for music production and i wish i had one earlier, as i didn't realise how much i was fighting with my previous mouse to achieve the same thing in whatever period of time.

This product has found its home in almost every professional recording studio in the world. It is extremely dextrous and such a comfort to the wrist. Long hours at the studio don't seem so long anymore! The only issue I have noticed is with the scroll wheel not performing smoothly, but it still works. The trackball is weighted and has sufficient momentum to sen e cursor flying to the other end of the wide screen display. Integrates very well with Pro Tools, and general workflow. I am yet to try out the customisable top keys to instantiate macros. Very satisfied with the product finish and quality.

Ganska stor, stadig, och exakt. Vilsam att arbeta med. Rekommenderas:)

Fantastic, really help with my tennis elbow.

AMENDED - I GOT THE RIGHT SOFTWARE, SET IT UP, REBOOTED AND IT STILL WORKS - OH FRABJOUS DAY... BUT YOU HAVE TO RUN IT MANUALLY AT STARTUP - ROYAL PITA! Generally I only use the lower buttons, uppers are set at double click & back, so used to control click / open from Mac Contextual Menu. MAYBE it's just me, but for an optical device it can stick after cleaning; polish the ball carefully afterwards. I LOVE Kensington products. BUT since the end of software on a disk, it's tricksy. I downloaded & installed the software for my all in one printer no problems, but this! I made one last try as I was getting sick of only 2 functional buttons. IT HELPS IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER POINTING DEVICE AS A BACKUP!!!!!!! I have a cheap wired trackpad, PITA to use but works. 1: goto KENSINGTON site. 2: find EXACT picture of device, select. 3: scroll down to downloads, you want KENSINGTONWORKS - NOT TrackballWorks - check INSTALLATION NOTES that it has the driver for the EXACT device. 4: download, launch from start menu. 5: play with the settings - there are TONS of them, keep fine tuning until it's right for you. 6: if you're still not happy you are a bigger PITA than me - well done you! I have rechecked EVERY setting I can find - Oh how I miss Apple Macs (but TOO expensive and poncy these days) - as far as I can tell, my system is STILL recognising it only as a "Kensington Expert Mouse". BUT the software works now so who cares if the PC calls my Trackball "Felicity Bumsquash". Trackball Works DID NOT detect my trackball, Kensingtonworks does; also does not crash the computer like TW. I know, i'm demanding. WHY Kensington do not just ship with the software on a USB stick is beyond me. Or even a DVD - it costs around £30 to buy a DVD-RW drive AND you can play CDs and DVDs AND burn CDs & DVDs! Showing my age I suppose. I remember my first home computer - Sinclair QL128 (Kb) with MICRO drives on a portable telly! Hours of fun waiting for programs to load; then crash ... repeat until the drive cartridges broke - happy days! Then Atari ST 520, 2, 4 with Disk drives and WINCHESTER drives as an expensive optional extra... PC, Macs, Android and back to PC. ANYTHING but Uni mainframe terminals! ALSO, I recommend >>>Kensington Mouse Mat with Wrist Support - Ergonomic Duo Gel mouse mat, compatible with laser and optical mice for comfort when at computer, laptop, office, PC, gaming - Red/Black (62402).<<< WITH an extra mouse mat wrist rest if you lean your elbows over the table, not freeishly hovering. Essentially you need around 4 inches of support to use this device, go by the supplied one as a guide - but it hurts (me anyway) to use it. Not that colour particularly, but it has plenty of space for the device and, for me sits above another mouse mat wrist rest so is MEGA comfortable. The one supplied just does not cut it. All in all I am satisfied NOW that I spent £80 for a trackball. I had a non optical one on Macs, wasn't around when I had my previous PC; now there's no mucking around with alcohol, Q Tips and tweezers trying to clean the rollers. Minivac and a screwriver if it got too bad. Just wipe the ball and innersocket. They are different, expensive, but so much easier and actually reduce wrist stress especially combined with an ergonomic keyboard. GREAT for arthritis / rheumatism / nerve damage (i'm dyspraxic, nature of the beast). Oh and finally I found the scroll wheel - it's a flipping dial - it's a ring surrounding the ball - PITA to avoid pressing a button! slight ridging so easy to find by touch and use. BUT you CAN adjust it in the Kensingtonworks settings too!!!!!!! Yes I do love playing around with settings, 50 something going on 5 with technology.
