I've been rocking the Kensington Orbit wired for years now and I've yet to find a better trackball.

Reasons:

  • works for both hands
  • scroll ring
  • big ball
  • wired
  • works reliably

I use the trackball with my left hand and a mouse with my right.

It seems like such a cheaply made product, but it just works so very, very well.

I'm glad this thing works for you but my wrist hurts just looking at it. I'll stick with my old redball Logitech.

My wrist was never an issue for me, I always had problems with my shoulder using a mouse. Switching to trackballs solved this completely.

Oh, yeah. Trackballs are the best.
