 A fantastic product Aug 11, 2008
I purchased this trackball after months of contemplation between this trackball and the more expensive version, and even buying and then returning 2 types of logitech track balls. After reading many reviews, and from the advice of my doctor i did buy this trackball. I have had no problems with sticking, a rough moving ball, there is no blank spot on the pattern of my ball, and i think the buttons are in the perfect place for use.
I have the equivalent of golfers and tennis elbow in both arms as a result of over-mouse usage (i use pretty much the mouse in autocad/autodesk map all day long and I use both or either hand(s) with the mouse). My GP was telling me it was carpel tunnel, and nudging me towards the way of the wrist surgery, but he was wrong, and my problem was inflamed trigger points around my elbow. Let's thank my chiropractor for a real diagnosis, yes they are also real doctors.
The Kensington trackball is less stressful on my arms and hands than a traditional mouse, and also gives me another alternative to 'mix up' the repetitive motions. It hasn't solved my problems, but it sure has helped.
Great size for PC Aug 03, 2008
This is a perfect sized trackball. Easy to use-- pre figured for Windows XP but easy to change configuration. Studied other trackballs and like this the best.
Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball mouse 64327 great for the price!
Kensington Makes good products. Jul 14, 2008
I own a trackball Expert mouse, and bought the Orbital trackball mouse for my portable. Both are excellent, the trackball has worked for many years, and once, when it failed, was replaced for free by Kensington.
I am very please with the way the product works and Kensington's service.

 Better than most, ball optical pattern needs improvement Jul 04, 2008
I am an experienced Kennsington trackball user and find that their products have matured nicely over time. They now have a hole in the bottom so that dust and hair will fall out onto the desk instead of accumulate in a wad that causes malfunction. This model is a bit on the small side and the buttons as well could be a little bigger, but the size is usable. The action and heft of the ball are just right, very smooth and feather touch.
But the biggest (very big) complaint is the stalling, reported in previous reviews. It is not dirt--It's the patterning on the trackball. The swirls are broken by a solid area and the optical sensor has difficulty in picking up movement in that area. Every time it stalls, I look at the ball and note that this area is over the sensor. This is a big deal and very annoying in normal operation. There needs to be a recall and redesign.
Best trackball at low price Jun 16, 2008
This is one of the best trackball I've used. Being a graphic designer I've always been using trackballs, they are very convenient in using on your desk specially when you have your desk well cluttered with other items. In addition you can use a trackball on any surface, you don't have to worry about finding an even flat space to move your mouse. Comparing to various trackballs available in the market, this Orbit from Kensington is the best one at very low price and it's cosmetic outlook is also well impressive as its very precise optical tracking ability. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a trackball at low price.
