Mouse Trackball?

[jestermgee]

Thanks for the feedback...

I just received the Kensington expert mouse today at work. I've hooked i p to the laptop as a test and it seems pretty good. Never used one before so its a bit of a change to get use to but I can instantly see that it will help address the issues of tired and cramped fingers.

The scroll wheel feels a little cheap and I am wondering just how long the small ball barings that support the ball will last but it will be a good test. Thinking it may even kick ass in games too.

Love being able to navigate around just with the movement of one finger and much easier than a track pad.

All in all i'm happy.

Congratulations!

Yes, the scroll ring has a cheap feel, but it's actually decent. It definitely stands out in contrast to the high quality of the rest of the trackball. The bearings for the ball are strong.

+1 for "MouseWorks" instead of "TrackballWorks" - more options & better configurability.

Have fun playing with the settings & tuning it to your liking.

I have my buttons set up like this:
Top Left: Drag
Top Right: Click

Bottom Left: Double-Click
Bottom Right: Right-Click

Chord Top: Spotlight
Chord Bottom: Swap Scrolling

Scrolling:
Speed: Very Slow
Direction: the settings on the right side of the ball icon

Display Horizontal Scrolling Indicator in Menu Bar: checked

Don't forget that you can customize all the settings for each application you use! The trackball can function differently for each app.

That's the one I have.

Cheers for the suggestion on the Mouseworks software. I did install the other software first and why do they even have that? Mouse works has all the extra options I wanted (per app settings etc)

I don't mind the scroll ring now, it is starting to loose the scraping feeling.

Decided to load up a FPS game on my other machine and test the mouse and get use to it. Bit of a change but after a few hours I am driving it perfectly tho the scroll ring can't be used as I keep bumping it and changing weapons. For editing stuff though it's fantastic.

A long duration test of 4 hours I had no cramps or sore fingers so it's a winner and seems very smooth all round. Great tool for anyone in the same boat.
