About this deal

Easily adjust the cursor speed to fit your needs by selecting the appropriate DPI level (400/400-800/800-1500) – lower DPI for precision editing and higher DPI for word processing or casual browsing. Easily adjust the cursor speed to fit your needs by selecting the appropriate DPI level (400/400-800/800-1500)–lower DPI for precision editing and higher DPI for word processing or casual browsing. However, they tend to be suited for right-handed users. Left-handed ones are available, but they can be harder to find!

Easily adjust the cursor speed to fit your needs by selecting the appropriate DPI level (400/400-800/800-1500)–lower DPI for precision editing and higher DPI for word processing or casual browsing This option is also an excellent choice for both gaming and work. You can use the mouse across two computers for seamless navigation when using Logitech’s flow feature. This allows you to copy and paste images, text, and files from one screen or computer to another. You have the choice between a wired and wireless mouse with the Kensignton Expert. You can connect your mouse with Bluetooth to save a USB port or use the nano receiver for fantastic connectivity. 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. You can use ELECOM’s mouse weird or wirelessly. It takes 1 AA battery and has a great battery life, saving you from continually charging it and for those using it with a USB connection, there is a space within the mouse to safely store the receiver when not in use.All-day comfort is provided through a sculpted mouse-like design to improve palm, wrist, forearm and shoulder position with less hand movement. I prefer the bigger devices as I have large hands. I can work with this Orbit Fusion quite well, although I do find it easier to move the ball with the middle of my fingers, not my finger tips. It’s more than likely that you have a personal preference when choosing an input device for your computer. These habits form over years of use and once you are comfortable, very little will sway you to try a new product. For decades, the humble mouse and keyboard seemed to reign supreme, with little changes to the designs since the first models. The only thing I really don't like about the Orbit Wireless is the same thing I don't like on the regular Orbit. The included wrist rest is a nice touch and it's useful, but it's also not very good. Personally, I prefer not using it anyway, as the position of my hand feels better, but the point is more that it's just not very good. It sort of clips to the lower portion of the Orbit Wireless except it doesn't really. Insert the AA battery in the Fusion Orbit, insert the USB 2.4GHz nano receiver in your computer, with or without the USB-A adapter, and turn on the Fusion Orbit with the button at the bottom.

It just sort of sits there, it comes away far too easily, and it'll move about more than you'd want a wrist rest to. It's a shame because it is comfortable, but it's just so frustrating to actually try to live with. If you have large hands, and are willing to spend a more, I would look at the Kensington Expert / Kensington Expert Wireless (a classic), or the CST (my current personal favorite, but expensive and not many buttons). Wireless connection from a 2.4GHz nano receiver with a USB-A to USB-C adapter included making it perfect for any type of PC or device with a specific port configuration. Holding the Orbit Fusion, it feels nice and solid. Nothing too spectacular, but it’s well made, nice matte plastic, with some sharper edges and smooth palm shape.

Say Hello to the Kensington Orbit® Fusion™ Wireless Trackball

The size and shape is comparable to the latest popular Elecom models, especially the DEFT PRO. Slightly bigger than a computer mouse, but much smaller than the large Kensington Expert or SlimBlade, CST or Elecom HUGE. The mouse features a rechargeable battery that has an insane life! Expect up to 70 days of battery life on just one single charge which is great for those who will take the mouse to work, school, or travel with it, and running out of battery will be the last thing on your mind! It takes AA batteries too, which are widely available and affordable to replace. While the mouse is fantastic for gaming, it has limited compatibility. You will need Windows 7, 8.1, RT8.1, and ten or later. It is worth noting that the horizontal scrolling function will not work with Windows RT8.1.In terms of Mac, OS 10.13 or later will be required for the mouse to work. While this is not as much compatibility as other mice on the list, there is still a good range that most gamers will be using. The Kensington Orbit Fusion (left) is a direct competitor for the Elecom DEFT PRO (right), but its scroll ring sets it apart.

Kensington is in denial, they have been for 15 years at least. I wish it were otherwise– I like their products…I just don’t trust them. New to the Orbit Wireless over the regular Orbit is an integrated DPI switch (four stages from 400-1600 DPI) on the bottom, right next to the switch to go between 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth. You also find the battery door underneath because the Orbit Wireless takes regular old AA batteries. I don't mind this, though some might because as a parent I have an endless supply of AAs ready to pop in at short notice. But you're not likely to be swapping them very often, anyway. All-day comfort is provided through a sculpted mouse-like design to improve palm, wrist, forearm and shoulder position with less hand movement

A great mid-range trackball without the cable.

A detachable wrist rest delivers soft cushioning to support the hand and wrist in ergonomic comfort for pain-free productivity during extended periods of activity on the computer. The size of the ball is 40mm, a good, medium sized ball. I’m happy it’s not smaller. For me, it could even have been a bit bigger like the 44mm Elecom DEFT PRO ball, but it’s not a dealbreaker.

Compare the ball size of the Kensington Pro Fit Ergo (left), Kensington Orbit Fusion (middle) and the Kensington Expert Wireless (right) Compare size of the Kensington Orbit with Scroll Ring (grey and white version (top), Kensington Pro Ergo (left), Kensington Orbit Fusion (middle) and the Kensington Expert Wireless (right). Underneath it has great anti-slip rubber strips, a hole to punch out the ball, the battery compartment, ON/OFF button and a place to store the USB 2.4GHz nano receiver when you’re traveling. The first time I bought a replacement, but when it happened again, I called Kensington to ask about this problem and alert them to the fact that there was a problem. They denied that there was a problem and told me point blank that I was the first and only one to have complained.

Kensington's new Orbit Fusion trackball mouse is a new look at a rather mature pointing tool.

That alone is enough to make it worth buying because, like its wired sibling, it's extremely comfortable to use, good value and the scroll ring is a thing of genius.
