I really, really wanted to like this "mouse" [Posted on 2008-06-25]
After several weeks of using the trackball, I am having to send it back for a refund. I tried really, really hard to like this "mouse", but the buttons just are not in great positions for easy use. I tried mapping them differently with the software, but that didn't help.
Also, since I use this mainly in graphic design related work, I do a lot of click/dragging. So, I tried getting used to using a button to "drag", but this just wasn't for me. In the end, the only setup that worked halfway decently was to map the right button for right click and the bottom left for left click. This setup made me use my thumb which is where most of my cramping happens in the first place. So that didn't work either. I, of course, tried using the top buttons for left/right clicking, but the top left button just wasn't easily reachable for me for some reason.
So with much sadness I have to say this "mouse" is not for me. It may work just fine for some or most who use it, but you won't know till you give it a try.
Expert Mouse [Posted on 2008-06-30]
Tech support said it would only work as two button mouse with Intel based Mac. We downloaded 3.0 from Kensington and using keyboard commands programmed all four buttons. Best mouse/trackball we ever used.
Better than I expected! [Posted on 2008-07-08]
I was in need of a trackball mouse because of lower arm pain due to a death grip I was using on the regular mouse. Since using the new Kensington, I have noticed a significant decrease in the pain. The trackball is super easy to operate. It may take a little getting used to, but not enough to have that be the reason for not getting one. The ball moves very smoothly and the ring for scrolling up and down may be a little stiff at first, but that definitely goes away with use. The Kensington proved to be better than I expected! So glad I got one!
Poor Ring Tracking [Posted on 2008-07-08]
I have been using Kensington Trackballs all my life. But I was very disappointed with the tracking ring on this one. While all the other features are terrific (regular mouse tracking is great), this is no longer good enough when comparing to other devices like Apple's Wireless Mighty Mouse.
I also found that the elevation of the Expert Trackball was higher and at a different angle than previous trackballs, making my wrist tired very quickly.
Overall, I don't recommend this. The one I purchased I have already given away.
GREAT PRODUCT! [Posted on 2008-07-12]
I really love this mouse. I cannot use the regular type because of an injury to my hand. This is just so great because everything you need is right there. They even let you scroll by just moving the circle that is around the ball. It is just so great not to have to move the mouse everywhere to get it to work. I have tried other types like this but they always had some problem so far this one is perfect.My grandchildren love it too even though they are able to use any type mouse. They were afraid I might not get another one when I gave my old computer away that had the older version of this mouse.They are so happy with this one now because of the improvements. It is well worth the money.
