Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball Mouse 64327 Review


I ordered the Kensington "roller ball" mouse because I had used it extensively at my job. I wanted the same comfort and convenience at home. I enjoy the product and it has saved my elbow, lower right arm, and even shoulder from pain due to having to move the standard mouse around and the darn scroll 'thingy' in the middle of it which caused me pain. I would recommend it for anyone having problems using a regular mouse. If you need to do a lot of "mousing" and extensive typing, you may wish to consider having a roller ball type mouse for each hand so you can switch off and give your dominant hand a rest. It does take some getting used to, but after you have mastered it, you will feel like you are being more productive and with less stress and pain. I like the fact that this type of roller ball mouse isn't too elevated and your hand isn't perched up too high where your wrist is bent up too high either.

The only problem you might have is if you have severe trouble moving your thumb and/or fingers because they do the "walking and working" for you instead of your arm and elbow. So, keep your old mouse if you have thumb surgery, but otherwise give this mouse a try!

Buy it here now!
