I've been rocking the Kensington Orbit wired for years now and I've yet to find a better trackball.

Reasons:

  • works for both hands
  • scroll ring
  • big ball
  • wired
  • works reliably

I use the trackball with my left hand and a mouse with my right.

It seems like such a cheaply made product, but it just works so very, very well.

My wrist was never an issue for me, I always had problems with my shoulder using a mouse. Switching to trackballs solved this completely.

Oh, yeah. Trackballs are the best.
