Why Kensington Trackballs? Simple.

With more than 35 years of experience, and as a global leader in desktop productivity solutions, Kensington is the Professionals' Choice for trackball solutions.

Kensington trackballs are great for people who are trying to keep their elbow or shoulder in a stationary position, or who tend to reach too far to get to their mouse. And for those suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, or other repetitive stress injuries associated with mousing, a trackball could help. Customizable keys make repetitive tasks such as copy and pasting a breeze.

Trackball or Mouse?

No one can answer that question except you. At the end of the day, what matters most is comfort. If you're uncomfortable using a mouse, a trackball might be perfect for you. Here are some other great reasons why people love trackballs:

COMPACT

Trackballs are good for places with limited space as the ball will always rotate within the small socket

ERGONOMIC

Trackballs require less elbow and wrist movements which helps alleviate pain

SPEED

More travel distance per unit of trackball move. With a trackball, your cursor can move farther

ACCURACY

Direct control allows for greater precision, which is less likely to be moved by accident

A Trackball Mouse is an input device similar to a traditional mouse. Differently, the cursor is moved by the trackball using fingers or a thumb.
