Digital camera reviews of Kensington Expert Mouse Optical USB Trackball for PC or Mac 64325
Digital camera Review: Almost Perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the latest of many trackballs I have used for personal and business use. The new optical tracking is a huge improvement over the old wheels that could get dirty and be a pain. The scroll wheel is also much more useful than the older versions. I'm currently using a one of the silver/blue trackballs with 5 direct launch buttons and this optical one. Love them both, but far prefer the optical.
My ONLY issue, and the reason it gets a 4, is that I wish there was an optical mouse with the direct launch buttons. They are lifesaving for the work that I do, and I'm forced to use an older mouse on that computer until there is another option (if that ever happens).

Nobody makes a better trackball than Kensington -- absolutely no one! It took them a while to get on the optical bandwagon so I had to get by with Microsoft & Logitech products until the wired optical trackball came out. The wired version is perfect except that I keep running out of cord or I'm always tipping something over. The wireless model goes through batteries every couple of days and it's response time is slower and jerkier than the wired one. Hopefully, with time they'll make a wireless one that responds like a Microsoft or Logitech while keeping that sweet Kensington "feel". When that happens I'll be the first in line to purchase oneDigital camera Review: Amazing product
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is just absolutly amazing. I have always been a fan of Kensington trackballs and have owned older version of the Expert Mouse pro. I have owner the Kensington Expert Mouse Optical for probably close to 5 years now and can't live without it. My recent purchase was for my wife who was looking for a new mouse and she's quite ahppy with it. In fact I have let people borrow this mouse at work when I go away on vacation and so far everyone who has borrowed it for just a week went out and bought one (or two) when I returned because they didn't want to be without it. The scroll wheel is such a great feature that is difficult to explain just how wonderful it is, and the Kensington Mouseworks software has some great features that can save a ton of time.
My last comment is on the company it self. I did unfortunatly have a couple problems with old Kensingotn products where they would stop tracking left or right however their warrenty service is great, little questions asked and they shipped a new device right to me, with a return label for the defective deivce.
Final Statement : Great mouse, great company, you will be quite happy if you purchase this device.
Digital camera Review: An Easy Touch
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed a trackball to work in a limited horizontal space, and was surprised at how few are still on the market, especially if you don't want to control the ball with your thumb. No model had flawless reviews. I finally chose this one and have been delighted. The ball itself is smooth, light in action, quick, and precise. The buttons are fine, the ring is ok (I can't really compare it to anything else), and it works immediately and flawlessly with Vista. The only negative is that Kensington has not invested in updating its software so that the top two buttons can be configured in Vista. So two feature buttons go to waste. For my purposes, however, this trackball is well-made, a joy to use, saves my wrist, and looks good in a solid sort of way.Digital camera Review: An excellent trackball mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
Its a large trackball, it dwarfs the other mice I have in my collection.
The ball is the smoothest feeling device I can remember ever using, the scroll ring is not as nice, but functional and very useful none the less.
All 4 buttons and scroll ring work out of the box for me on Ubuntu 8.04.
The top left acts as a universal scroll/open link in new tab and the top right acts as a go-back button in the web browser.
Very well made and a pleasure to use. Too bad it is so expensive though.
I am using this trackball with a HHKB keyboard.
In my opinion I have the finest input devices available. Expensive, yes, but you get what you pay for.
