Kensington SlimBlade Trackball Mouse (K72327U), USB

Recommend for people who know how to use this track ball

Took me a while to decide to opt for such a different style of mouse but it’s made a big difference not only to my personal comfort when working for long hours, but also to my work flow, and was surprisingly easy to get used to.

Although I returned it.. But it's very good if someone has no issue with size...

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

After many positive reviews, I decided to try the SlimBlade, despite a few of the negative comments regarding the buttons. Please note, the comments on how mediocre this trackball is ARE the accurate reviews. While the device is nice enough, especially the ball itself, I don't think it's worth the high price being charged. The unit itself is rather lightweight and doesn't sit as solidly on the desk as one would expect from a premium piece of equipment. The mouse buttons are cheap plastic, weak, flimsy, tabs and switches that vary between, "did it actually press?" or "am I gonna break it if I press a little harder?" I really like the weight of the trackball, and the scrolling feature (rotating the ball itself) seems to be a love/hate thing...I'm one who loves it. There is so much about the mouse that I want to like and the trackball, scrolling and unit height are those things. That being said, the premium price you pay for the unit, versus the actually quality of the unit that you get are too divergent IMO. Considering replacing this unit for the expert, but that seems to have its issues as well. The quest for a good trackball continues...

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

Fits the hand well. Easy to set up. I have been using a well known marble mouse for years, but it appears to be obsolete now. Any on the secondary market are horrendously overpriced, so finding this as a replacement is great.

I've been using Kensington mice ever since their early entrance into the market. They never failed me then and they are still #1. This track ball is "wireless". I had a wired Kensington mouse, but got fed up with the wire getting in my way at a very busy work station. It is battery driven and you will know when it's drained by the fact that the mouse pointer becomes lazy and won't go as fast as it should or you have trouble putting the pointer on any specific place on your screen. As far as I'm concerned, you'd be tragically missing out on possibly the best mouse ever made. And I stand behind it!

Desde que lo uso ya no se me cansa la muñeca, a pesar de que lo utilizo unas seis horas al día. He ganado en productividad porque, gracias a su gran bola, puedo situar el cursor exactamente donde quiero a gran velocidad. Los cuatro pulsadores de que dispone son grandes, sensibles y cómodos para usar. Aunque puede configurarse para que la pulsación conjunta de dos botones adyacentes sea equivalente a otro botón, esto no me resulta práctico porque es difícil hacer la pulsación simultánea.

I just got this trackball, first time using a trackball ever, i was delighted by how well this one works. the included wrist rest is really helpful especially for my hnda when on a hard surface, the ball rolls smoothly and with precision, the only slight thing is the scroll ring has a slight wobble to it, but it is not that bad, i am just very particular. but i do really like the scroll ring, i am able to operate the left click with my thumb and right click with my little finger. very easy to use and the optional kensingtonworks software is great, its not needed to use the trackball, but you can set so many options for the 2 programable buttons, the top 2 buttons are great, but you have to be very very precise about clicking both at once when using shortcuts, overall this was an amazing purchase, and i am impressed by the quality of kensington products

WOW now i have an issue !! ?? brought this trackball, because with my degenerative desease I was at times not able to use my mouse. I was surprised at just how far they have moved forwards, the last trackball I brought was in the 90s, So I was very surprised at its senticy of movement, which I am now trying to get used to. I now have this trakball & my mouse plugged in and switch to what ever I can use the easiest. Deffo recomend, but it is NOT a quick fix, it will take time n patience to get the trackball adjusted to your needs. Stick with it and you wont be dissappointed. I opted `for the usb version of this track ball, just becase the items i use already my battery charger is struggling to cope.
