About this product

    Great trackball that is easy on the wrist.

    Initially the buttons were a little rough and sounded like flexing an empty aluminum can and feeling like a double click. But, after using is a few weeks and breaking it in, all is well. I here and feel a single click as expected. This is the third copy of the SlimBlade I've had over quite a few years and I really like the smooth action of the large ball and the lower profile which helps me keep my wrist straight and reduces wrist and arm strain. Although I am very satisfied with he SlimBlade, the software conflicted with my Mac mini M1 with Big Sur. Fortunately, the SlimBlade can be adjusted with the Mouse setting for pointer speed and acceleration, just not assigning buttons, etc.

    Its ok

    It works for what is intended but does not feel to sturdy. Almost to lightweight for my need it feels cheap for the price.

    Worthy successor

    I'm a lifelong trackball user, and have spent the last 10 years or so using the Kensington Trackball Pro and was a big fan of the large ball, rollers and the many configurable buttons. The software was the downfall, as it was outdated and had compatibility with my work machine. The new slimblade trackball is a fantastic replacement. I was worried that it wouldn't be smooth based on some reviews. I don't find that to to be the case even if it isn't on rollers. The ball is silky smooth, buttons are responsive, and the scrolling feature of the ball is very intuitive and works well. I have hesitated to download and install the software to get more out of the top two buttons... The previous experience with the Kensington software has me gun shy and honestly, I don't need them nearly as much. My top two buttons were configured for scrolling previously and it's been replaced. Highly recommended, though a little pricey for a 'pointing device'.

    Great product, super smooth and precise

    This was a replacement for a 12 year old version of the same model. The old trackball had become quirky, it was not smooth any more. The new trackball is incredibly smooth and precise.

    Instant setup - works great

    I bought this to use with my MacBook Pro because I was using a program for which the trackpad was not practical. I don’t like moving a mouse around, so a trackball is the logical solution. This one is well designed and works great.

Kensington - Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring, Wired USB-A, 40mm Ball, Detachable Wrist Rest - K75327WW - Wired - Space Gray

The Kensington Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring is a wired stationary pointing device for desk users who want to move the cursor from one spot instead of sweeping a mouse across a pad. A 40 mm space gray ball sits at the center of the housing and is driven with the fingertips, so the wrist and forearm stay still and no clear tracking surface is needed beside the keyboard. Wrapped around the ball is the scroll ring, a rotating collar that scrolls long documents, spreadsheets, and web pages in either direction with one finger and offers smoother, more gradual control than a stepped wheel. Two buttons flank the ball, and both can be reassigned through the free KensingtonWorks utility so frequent commands sit under the fingers already resting on the device. The shell is symmetrical, giving left and right hand users identical reach to the ball and the same button geometry, and a detachable wrist rest clips to the front edge to lift and cushion the heel of the hand for longer sessions. Optical tracking handles cursor movement without a mechanical roller, and the ball lifts free for periodic cleaning. Connection is plug and play over USB-A with no driver download, and the assembly measures 8.7 by 6 by 1.8 inches or 221 by 152.4 by 45.7 mm with the wrist rest attached. Because the housing stays in one place, the trackball suits narrow desks, height-adjustable desks, and shared benches where there is no clear room to sweep a mouse. Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS are supported, and the trackball is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

Questions & Answers

  • Can the ball be removed for cleaning

    You can, the ball just lays in place

    Answered by Jake
  • Does this have a scroller?

    You can scroll by twisting the trackball, but I've found it cumbersome and never use the feature.
