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.

  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...

 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

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

Acceptable Performance

Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring

 I like the Orbit's scroll ring, however the buttons should be closer to the ball . My fingers would miss the button sometimes. The body is a little too wide or flat for my hands if it was narrower like the T-BC21 in width than it would be perfect placement for my fingers.

Nice but would like some changes.

  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

  My keyboard and the trackball are on a forward tilting platform. Even so, the design of the trackball resulted ergonomically in my hand being cocked upward forming a V with my arm and bending my wrist at an unnatural angle. So I had to buy a wrist support pad to elevate my wrist and align my hand and arm properly. I can now use the trackball with much less discomfort than I experienced with the mouse, but prolonged use still causes me to have some pain across the back of my hand

Beats the mouse but has a couple of quirks

 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
