All-day comfort and scrolling come together in the orbit trackball with scroll Ring. The award-winning scroll Ring allows you to spin through web pages and long documents without the need for clicking. It offers better ergonomics, with less wrist and hand movement that will ease The pain of repetitive-stress injuries. KensingtonWorks software gives you the opportunity to assign specific functions to your 2 buttons and create a truly customized productivity experience. Optical tracking provides smooth and accurate cursor control, and a detachable wrist rest offers terrific ergonomic support when you're hard at work.

RTINGS

If you're looking for a trackball you can carry with you when you're on the go, we recommend the Kensington Orbit Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring. It has a true ambidextrous design with a center-mounted trackball, a ring-style scroll wheel, and two main buttons that serve as left- and right-click buttons on either side. There's also an included palm that you can detach, making it much more compact.

While this mouse isn't exactly as easy to stow away as a more conventional travel mouse, its relatively small, streamlined shape makes it a much more portable option than competing trackball models. You can connect this mouse wirelessly with its USB receiver or via Bluetooth. It uses two AA batteries for power, and there's a storage space for the USB receiver when it's not in use, so you don't accidentally lose it in transit.

Unfortunately, this mouse doesn't support multi-device pairing, and the somewhat unconventional ring-style scroll wheel may take a little getting used to if you aren't already familiar with them. Also, like most trackball options, this mouse has a very low, fixed polling rate and poor click latency, so you're better off looking to other models if you're planning on grabbing this to game on the go. Overall, this is an affordable wireless travel option for anyone looking for a no-fuss trackball for the road.

Wirecutter

If you’re not sure whether you like trackballs, the Orbit, with a scroll ring and two buttons, represents a good starting point.

We recommend the Kensington Orbit Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring as a budget option. It has a truly ambidextrous design with a center-mounted, finger-operated trackball. It also has a ring-style scroll wheel and two main buttons that serve as left- and right-click buttons on either side. There's an included palm rest that you can detach, making it much more compact. Overall, it feels very well-built and connects wirelessly with its USB receiver. It uses two AA batteries for power.

Unfortunately, this mouse doesn't have as many programmable inputs as the ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK. Additionally, the somewhat unconventional ring-style scroll wheel may take a little getting used to if you aren't already familiar with it. Also, like most trackball options, this mouse has a very low, fixed polling rate and a low maximum CPI setting, which means it isn't suitable for gaming or if you have a very high-resolution display. That said, it's an affordable wireless option for anyone looking for a no-fuss trackball for work or everyday browsing.

 NONE.  I repeat NONE!!  The NEW wireless has super TINY roller bearings!!  However I had to switch to WIRELESS because I ran out of ports on my new M-1 iMac using Monterey OS.  SO here we are folks - a manufacturer who for whatever reason will not re-design to fix the problem.  Using Apple’s Magic Mouse physically hurts

  I don’t think you folks want to have me keep returning until a specific brand works. That would be 100% absurd.  BTW I have ditched their own Kensington Works software and am using “SteerMouse” software which eliminates a lot of minor glitches, a whole bunch as a matter of fact.  But, having to turn upside down problem remains

 I assure you I am a computer programmer by trade, so I am very capable. But Kensington is not!!  I could return it to you because I have until May 25 to do that … but I don’t want to because I physically like the Kensington. I just like the way it feels in my hand. It’s that simple

May 7, 2022  This is long, but worth every syllable … don’t give up until you get to the end of this email!  My Kensington Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring - ordered from Amazon on 4/26/2022  I have been working with the Kensington Company Tech Support for 2 weeks.  A miserable 2 weeks because they have refused to solve the problem. I assure you I am a computer programmer by trade, so I am very capable. But Kensington is not!!  I could return it to you because I have until May 25 to do that … but I don’t want to because I physically like the Kensington

  Switching to another brand, eg Logitech, is iffy because the same problems may exist.  Among all your customer reviews, there is not 1 stand-out with 99% 5 stars - not 1.  I don’t think you folks want to have me keep returning until a specific brand works. That would be 100% absurd

3.5 Stars for Serious OH OH for Kensington wireless Trackball

  I will be looking to replace with either the Kensington Expert or the Logitech Cordless Trackball.

 Unfortunately after only 8 months of regular 4-6 hour a day use the right button is becoming "spongy". When clicked it actually sounds more muddied or spongy than the left button which still sounds a little crisper. The result is having to click 2-3 times to use the right button. Not good

 A lot of people say "it is plastic on plastic" as opposed to being on some more weighted complicated wheeled track. Basically, it is EXACTLY like any standard mouse wheel. Maybe they were thinking it would be a weighted, free flicking, heavier metal contraption on rails like scroll wheels on high quality mice like my Logitech G9 I use on my work computer. No such luck

 The size is right, the price is right, the features are right. Only downside is they could easily take a great concept and trick it out to make it even better. _____________________________________________________________________________  9 month update: I use the right button a lot since I am on a pc to bring up contextual menus all the time. The right button is used almost as much as the left

Fairly good trackball, long term issues...

  They still make the perfect ergonomic solution to a trackball. It's made by Logitech. The problem with that Logitech product is that it takes extra clicks to make a scroll wheel. I prefer having the scroll wheel "at-the-ready" with this Kensington model

UPDATE:  I'm leaving my original review intact, but after using this trackball for a few months, I have decided I need to lower my rating and move on to another brand.  The reason why is because I have run into a whole host of inconsisency issues over time. I've used these track balls on three different computers, and I have run into problems with jittery cursor, laggy cursor, and spongy cursor.  The jittery cursor is extremely frustrating

  The thumb trackballs are a no go. My thumb isn't accurate enough to make any use of them, and after about an hour of frustrating attempted clicking into tiny little check boxes, I decided that wasn't going to be the answer.  I didn't understand why someone couldn't just make a trackball with a scroll wheel next to the ball. But I guess this Kensington model is the next best thin

 The problem with that Logitech product is that it takes extra clicks to make a scroll wheel. I prefer having the scroll wheel "at-the-ready" with this Kensington model.  Even though I only rated four stars, this is the best trackball on the market right now.

Almost there

 We expect never to purchase another.  The corded Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse units that we have owned have proved much more durable than the Logitech Optical Trackman cordless mouse. And, though less sculpted to the hand than its cordless sibling, the Trackman Marble is very comfortable under the hand, and all-day use of the Trackman Marble is fatigue free. However, the Logitech Trackman Marble lacks a scroll wheel (although a secondary button can be programmed to make a jury-rigged scroll wheel emulator, the arrangement is not ergonomically successful)

  We use the big Kensingtom K64325 Expert Mouse trackball every day on one of our computers. It is a superb instrument, and its big ball makes precise location of the cursor on a big monitor very easy. Our corded K64325 has a scroll ring around the trackball that took less of a learning curve to become instinctive than I had guessed it would before we started to use it. "Big" is the operative word with the Expert Mouse, however: it takes a lot of desk space

 Its scroll wheel is a bit notchy, which impairs its utility. More significantly (to us), our Optical Trackman experience has been that every unit has failed early, fatal failures, but just after the expiration of the warranty. We expect never to purchase another.  The corded Logitech Trackman Marble Mouse units that we have owned have proved much more durable than the Logitech Optical Trackman cordless mouse

 The cordless version of the Expert Mouse -- which we have not tried -- has a reputation of eating batteries like popcorn.  Which brings us to the product under review, the Kensington K72337 Orbit Scroll Ring trackball mouse. A corded mouse, the Orbit Scroll Ring combines the good qualities of the Logitech Trackman Marble and the scroll ring of the Kensington Expert Mouse in a compact package that is much more affordable than the Expert Mouse. The (blue) trackball of the Orbit Scroll Ring is the same size as the Logitech Trackman Marble's red one, and both are a size smaller than the (black) trackball of the Expert Mouse

Well designed trackball

Yes, it's a cheap mouse, and it also feels like a cheap mouse. Except that i've owned and used non-ergonomic mice at the same price point that felt higher quality so this feels like less value for my money. The buttons feel heavy which causes thumb pain for me, the scroll ring feels loose which means sometimes it doesn't actually scroll, and the wrist extension falls off whenever i move the mouse (because i do multiple activities at the same desk).  Here's my biggest issue with this design though

 The buttons feel heavy which causes thumb pain for me, the scroll ring feels loose which means sometimes it doesn't actually scroll, and the wrist extension falls off whenever i move the mouse (because i do multiple activities at the same desk).  Here's my biggest issue with this design though. The trackball itself is easy to pop out and clean, but the three tiny balls that the trackball rolls on inside that cavity are really difficult to clean. Those three tiny balls collect grime very quickly and slow down the trackball

Cheap feel, accumulates grime quickly, annoying to clean

 It helps with the solid "feel" of the unit, but makes for extra tension in the hand if you use it for gaming, like myself. The shape is also a bit flat for me. This could be that I'm coming from a molded trackball design that arched way up to keep the natural curve of my hand, but the flatter curve of this unit is taking some getting used to for me. The included wrist support seemed solid, but lifted my hand too high up to use the unit comfortably

 This is not a large mouse, but it is a broad one, coming in far wider than most trackball mice I've seen before. This can be a negative, if you have very limited space (like me), but it's not SO large that it's crowding anything out. Just be warned. I was also surprised how SOLID this unit felt, it's really a well built Trackball, and gives the feeling right out of the box that it could stand up to your roughest gaming sessions

A solid, but imperfect, trackball

I purchased this because the price of a Logitech Trackball Marble Mouse was finally too high for me. Loaded easily via USB, set up was instant. Tracking is good. Problems: The first thing I noticed was that it's short (when measuring fingers toward wrist) - and the arc is pretty high, so your wrist is always bent at an uncomfortable angle

Not good for small hands, buttons hard to click

 The software isn't intrusive or awkward. The ergonomics make it easy to use for brief interactions with the computer as I work in a studio. I really like the scroll wheel. Since this device has Bluetooth AND the RF connection, I can connect it to my desktop and laptop and easily swap back and forth by just the switch on the bottom

 Unusable for me.  Logitech Ergo M575 - thumb-based trackball movement. Gave it a try and can't adjust to using my thumb for movement. Otherwise, a nice item

Finally a trackball that isn't thumb-based and actually works!  I was a user of the Logitech Trackman for years and loved it but that was discontinued and Logitech never replaced it with a finger-based trackball. So I've been trying different thumb-based trackballs ever since and only been disappointed.  This Orbit trackball is the closest to what I've been looking for. Great build quality

Closest thing to a Trackman available now

  The hand support is very comfy. The material is nice and the fact that it doesn't have a fixed coupling to the mouse allows me to place it in a misaligned position relative to the mouse, which, in my case, is handy.  Finally, the scroll wheel is awesome. Very silent, comfortable and with a high sensitivity

  Finally, the scroll wheel is awesome. Very silent, comfortable and with a high sensitivity. Overall, this feature is the best on this mouse.  Globally, it's a fine mouse

  The buttons are high quality, but they are a bit short for my hand, I need to use the mouse with an angle towards the keyboard to press the left button more easily with my thumb. If the buttons were a bit longer this wouldn't happen. The fact that this button is too short also makes it more difficult to press the left button while holding the ball.  The ball is a bit too light

Good mouse, but expected a bit more...

The Best Trackballs

bazaarvoice

AMAZON.COM 
 Unlike the mechanical-trackball "mice of yore" that skip, stick, and need to be cleaned, the Microsoft TrackBall Optical introduces an entirely new trackball featuring optical sensor technology. Reading through dirt, dust, and fingerprints, the optical sensor tracks the movement of the ball 1,500 times per second, giving you smooth, precise control. The Trackball Optical comes with two additional buttons located on the side of the device--for a total of five buttons--to quickly move forward and back in your browser, or you can program them. It also features a wheel for efficient scrolling and zooming and is ergonomically designed to support the natural position of your hand as you use your thumb to control the trackball. 

 FROM THE MANUFACTURER 
 Get on the ball at an affordable price. This high-performance trackball offers optical precision, customizable buttons, and a convenient scroll wheel for easy navigation.

 Optical technology refers to the use of an optical sensor to track mouse movement, rather than the traditional use of mechanical parts. As a result, optical mouse products work on most surfaces and offer you better durability, increased speed and accuracy, and consistent performance.

 Every Microsoft hardware product has met the company's rigorous testing requirements for unparalleled comfort and performance. Ergonomic design is important for more than productivityhow you type, point, and click can also affect your long-term health.

I have an original Microsoft Trackball Explorer, bought at Egghead Software in the 90s. It's worked great ever since then, but lately I've been having problems with the scroll wheel. Every so often the scrolling will go crazy for a few seconds, zooming down to the bottom of the page, or alternating up and down repeatedly. I really like it and I'd rather not replace it if I can manage it

.  I loved the Logitec at first, but the smaller size palm annoyed me after a few hours of play. I do prefer the larger palm grip on the Microsoft Mouse, but I must say.

When mine breaks I will miss it....

 This one has a really neat looking design. The ball instead of on the thumb is right here. You have one, two, and the scroll, three, four, and five buttons. Again these buttons are customizable, and the ball right here again which can be removed, and of course this one is optic as well, and on the bottom side again there is nothing really down here except some nice pads to really keep this firmly seated on your desktop

I've been using both of these for quite some time now, the last couple of weeks, and I do find that I prefer this one more so than this one right here. The reason being, I find this one a little hard on the center part of my arm here after some time using it
