Outstanding "Turbo" Mouse repacement.......2007-06-08

Smooth, slick as a wink. comfortable to use and very precise. Large enough to be comfortable with those who have big hands. Small enough that it doesn't take up the entire desk space. And thank goodness it frees one from moving the hand all over the desk and wondering why the cursor won't go any further when you get near the edge of the desk. Kensington has continued to produce exceedingly high quality peripherals!!

Best pointing device I've ever used!.......2007-06-07

I've been using Kensington's Exert Mouse trackballs on several computers for years. The optical version that I recently purchased does everything the earlier ones did and more, plus the precision of the optical technology is fantastic.

Useless in Windows Vista.......2007-06-05

Having used this trackball and its predecessors for more than 10 years, I couldn't believe that Kensington no longer supports it with software for Vista. Believe it! Tech Support quote (05 June 2007):"There will be no Kensington MouseWork software support on windows Vista and there is no way to program the extra buttons of the mouse or trackball in Windows Vista." This invalidates just about all the features of the trackball, and you get no more functionality than you do with a mouse. Beware of the advertising for this product.

Great Trackball.......2007-06-02

Years ago I had an older Kensington trackball, and am very happy with this one. I have had the track ball for a few weeks now, and haven't had any problems. A lot of the reviews that I read prior to ordering stated that the track ball itself didn't move well, and the wheel around the track ball was noisy and sticky. I didn't have any problems, and if you had used an older version of the track ball, you'll be happy with this one.

The ball movement isn't as smooth as with steel rollers, but its comfortable, and I have very precise control over the pointer. I haven't had any problems nudging the pointer, and have found the track ball to be very responsive.

If you've previously been using a mouse, the positioning of the 4 buttons might feel a little odd at first. I personally find it very easy to transition from a mouse to a track ball, but I had used an older version of this trackball years ago.

I highly recommend this trackball. I don't care for the smaller track balls, as I find them more difficult to maneuver. With a larger ball, I find it easier to move (and its fun to spin the track ball to the side to move the mouse out of the way). I normally spin the track ball to move the pointer to the side of the screen, then put my finger back down to stop the track pointer - I also use multiple monitors so I have a lot of screen to cover.

I also really like the scroll wheel around the trackball itself. I have found it very easy to scroll up and down web pages and other documents. I haven't found it to be sticky or difficult to move. It does 'click' as you move it, but it has to have some type of roller or something. Even if I press very hard on the scroll wheel, it still moves easily and I have never had it stick.

I have not installed the kensington software, and I'm using the drivers that were native in XP-Pro. I haven't felt the need to install their drivers as everything is working as I like.

Trackballs still rock.......2007-05-23

I've tried every mouse on earth and gone back to using a trackball. It's reliable and less stressful on my hands.
