Review: Takes some getting used to, but now I love it - I've been using this for three years and it works great. I use a laptop and work remotely, so I literally tote it around and take it out almost everyday. I use the trackball because I hate trackpads, even the Macbook Pro pad. A mouse is fine, but it doesn't work on an uneven surface. Durability: The only durability issue I've had is with the little rubber feet on the bottom. I re-glued them (E6000 Premium adhesive works) about two years in. Otherwise, it never acts up. I also keep mine in a general purpose case, so it isn't rattling around in my bag. Mouse Movement: Ball movement is smooth. I think it's much smoother than the Logitech M570 that I used before. It is important to keep it clean. Snacking on slightly greasy food with my right (mouse) hand will cause it to feel janky. Wiping clean usually solves the problem. The ball pops out easily for cleaning, and the little contact points will get gunked up, so I clean those regularly too. The scroll wheel works fine too. It felt a little "loose" at first, but I don't notice it anymore, and I use it constantly. Accuracy: A trackball isn't quite as accurate as a mouse, but I haven't used a mouse in so long that I don't really notice it. I found a "speed" setting on my computer that lets me move quickly across the screen but let's me land with some precision. I doubt I would use this for precision gaming or graphic design, but I can fit the cursor between two characters with no trouble. Weight: The Orbit weighs 187 grams with a battery, so it feels light but not cheap. More importantly, the ball itself has a decent heft. I would rather it was a little heavier and had a little more inertia (like a Missile Command trackball), but it's fine. Fit: When I first got this, I thought it was way worse than my M570. The M570 is very natural, scrolling with your thumb and clicking (and using the scroll wheel) with the index and middle finger. The way I use the Orbit, I scroll with my index and middle finger, left click with my thumb, use the scroll wheel and right click with my ring finger on my right hand. This felt really unnatural, almost painful, at first. I was writing quite a bit in SQL and using Excel, so quickly navigating was important to me. So I stuck my Orbit in a drawer for a few months and basically thought it was a failure. But I pulled it out a few months later when I was without a trackball, and after a few weeks, it felt totally natural. Now it's all I use. I think a weird trick that helps is that I roll it with my fingers and then barely lift them off the ball when I go to click. Clicking with my thumb while my fingers touch the ball almost always wiggles things around too much. Connectivity: I use my Orbit with my Macbook Pro and just pair via the built in bluetooth. Before that, I used it with a Windows notebook for a few months without trouble. I never really have to fuss with it. I switch it on and it works right away. Battery Life: I use this pretty intensely everyday, but I probably only change the batteries a few times a year. I don't keep track, but I'm pretty sure it's at least three months in between changes. And I don't have to repair or fuss with it after battery changes. In summary, I this is my main input device and I'm very happy with it. It does everything I want and causes very few problems.
Review: Goodbye Marble Mouse, hello Orbit - I have been a trackball user forever. So many advantages over the regular mouse, the primary one being, if you’re doing really fine work on a graphic, it’s pretty much impossible to click the left (or right) button without moving the mouse a tiny bit. Trackballs don’t have this issue. Simply lift your hand off the ball and the cursor ain’t goin’ nowhere. So I’ve used a Marble Mouse (which is not a mouse, it’s a trackball) for a really long time. In fact I have several of them because,… in case. It has what I look for: + finger driven—not thumb driven. My thumb just doesn’t have the fine motor control + ambidextrous. I don’t use it with my left hand. But I could. + comfortable. A place to rest the rest of my hand while my fingers are working the ball. + big ball. Preferably golf ball size or bigger. I tried the tiny ball versions and I found them most frustrating. So if the Marble Mouse is so great (which it is), why am I changing? One word: wireless. For some reason the Marble Mouse does not come in a wireless version (either BT or dongle). Wire to USB-A only. I researched if there was a way to convert a wired trackball to a wireless one and, well, there is. But it’s way too complicated. So I looked for a wireless equivalent and came up with this Orbit. It is great. Good sized ball, comfortable, smooth scrolling, responsive. It even has a scroll ring (the Marble Mouse has up and down scroll buttons). The scroll ring is better. Also comes with the Kensington mouse control software (though your Windows Control Panel/Mouse does most of the same functionality). This is a really good pointing device and I suspect my collection of Marble Mice will now, after a storied career, be retired with honor.

## Features

- Dual wireless connectivity offers the flexibility of 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth LE, with 128-bit AES government-grade encryption security
- The scroll ring lets you spin the dial to move up and down web pages or documents with complete ease. And the 40mm ball’s hard surface is specially designed as a perfect sphere for precise tracking and control
- Four DPI settings let you easily adjust the cursor speed to fit your needs by selecting the appropriate level (400, 800, 1,200, or 1,600) — lower DPI for precision editing, and higher DPI for word processing or casual browsing
- Ambidextrous design works equally well for right-handed and left-handed users. Trackball reduces wrist and hand movement to ease repetitive-stress injuries
- Free *KensingtonKonnect downloadable software provides a personalized experience, giving you the ability to assign a variety of functions (including shortcuts) to the buttons, and adjust cursor and scrolling speed. *Windows ARM-based computers are currently not supported. Please check back for future updates on compatibility

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beats the mouse but has a couple of quirks
*by K***R on September 24, 2022*

I bought this trackball at the end of April, '22, so am coming up on 5 months of use and feel I can now give it a proper review. I had limited space to manipulate a mouse which required me to move the cursor a bit, pick up and return the mouse to the starting point, and incrementally moving it again until I got the cursor where I wanted it. A real pain. The trackball has solved that problem completely. 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. I found this trackball easy to use and adapted to it within just a couple of days, now being able to trackball like a pro. I use my second and middle fingers to manipulate the ball, my ring finger to rotate the scrolling ring, and my little finger and thumb respectively to hit the left and right function buttons (I am a southpaw). Using my little finger took a bit of getting used to but now I am quite adept with it. I really like that the scrolling ring used with the CTRL key changes from a scrolling to a zoom function. The software is very versatile and allows me to configure the scrolling speed with an inertia mode function. Using inertia mode is handy because I can scroll slowly in a controlled fashion and then just spin the scrolling ring if I want to rapidly skip to something further up or down. Similarly, the pointer speed and acceleration can be set. However, I have both set to fairly slow because otherwise the pointer speed becomes blinding and is almost uncontrollable. The software also permits configuring the function buttons and reversing the action of the scrolling ring. The composite settings can be saved to and restored from a file. The settings make this a great trackball for use with either hand. I have only had to remove the ball and clean it and the socket a couple of times, when the operation started to become jittery or skip. It is as simple as pushing the ball out of the socket from the rear, then wiping away any dust or debris from both with a soft cloth, and clicking the ball back into the socket. One quirk that is annoying is that at times, the left button is not responsive. It will work fine for weeks and then start working intermittently, then start working normally again. This doesn't happen often but when it does, it is frustrating. The second complaint is that the trackball is just not as precise as a mouse for cursor placement (such as while editing a document). So I keep the mouse handy and still occasionally use it for this purpose. Interestingly enough, the trackball and the mouse work simultaneously and seamlessly and I have gotten quite good at two-handed operation. I understand that reduced precision is a characteristic of trackballs in general so this is only a small negative to me. The DPI switch on the bottom of the trackball housing is a push button, and the DPI is set by repeatedly pushing the button. Unfortunately this is trial and error because there is no way to see what the setting actually is, as would be the case with a position switch. The trackball also has an on/off switch on the bottom. But this is unnecessary for normal use because it turns off automatically if the trackball isn't being used and turns back on when one of the function buttons is clicked. Overall, I really like this trackball. and highly recommend it. There is room for improvement but for the price it is really loaded with features and has really worked well for me.
