Pros: easy to install, can be programmed with shortcuts with the two extra buttons Cons: makes a woman's hand tired; much better options available
The techie geeks who designed the already outdated Kensington TurboBall knew their buyers well: men who love new gadgets to play with. They certainly didn’t have women or responsible shoppers needing a quality product in mind. Foolish me listened to my...
Pros: Smooth movement. Many configuration options. Has a scroll wheel. Cons: Inconvenient to clean if you let it get dirty.
I have used the Kensington Turboball for over 4 years, since the demise of my previous favorite model, the "Mouse Systems Trackball II". I have one for my home PC and recently obtained another for my office PC, after comparing with the 7 or 8 other ...
Pros: Great ergonomics, lots of customizable buttons to make it "your own", Kensington reliability. Cons: Extremely frequent cleaning, some cheap internal parts.
I switched to the TurboBall about 2 years ago, after using the Kensington Orbit for almost 2 years prior to that. I liked the Orbit, I LOVED the TurboBall -- at first. I'll get to the problems later, for now I'll concentrate on the highlights. The ...
Pros: Feel and Ease of use Cons: Pricey and ball slips when you have the slightest bit of moisture
I had never used a track ball on the job till I started working for the company I work for now. I am currently the system administrator for a small software applications service company in Louisiana and there are a few track ball people here.
Pros: easy to install Cons: skips, ball is large and traps dirt
Being a "power user" at work and at home, and with visions of my crippled right hand twenty years from now, I decided that I needed a different mouse. I thought that this would be the one. It looked large enough for my hand and I thought it would...
Pros: Driver software is pretty good (somehow its still on my hardrive too ; ) Cons: VERY HARD TO INSTALL, difficult to keep in clean working condition
I have been using the Logitech Mouseball for over a year and have been very impressed. The Logitech mouse uses optics to determine the movement of the ball, so there is NO cleaning, NO breaking in, and most importantly I have experienced absolutely NO...
Pros: great for the first two hours Cons: It skips, it gets stuck, it WILL frustrate
I've been using Kensington's TurboMouse at home for years, and I love it. So when my employer offered to replace the nasty and RSI-causing "hockey puck" mouse that came with my G4 I requested what looked like a new-and-improved TurboMouse, the...
Pros: Well built, reliable. Also more comfortable, and uses less desk space vs. mouse. Cons: Pricey
My wrists take a lot of wear in an average day. If I'm not sleeping, chances are I'm typing on the computer, playing video games, driving, or playing guitar. My standard mouse was just killing my wrist with extended use, so I went out to Comp USA and...
Pros: Comfortable to rest your hand on. Cons: Impossible to keep clean. Borderline junk?
I've tried to use one of these Kensington TurboBalls for the last nine months. Finally I got tired of all its faults and went back to the stupid round mouse which Apple shipped with my Mac G4-- let me tell you, it's an improvement over the Kensington...
Pros: Durable, excellent control, great software, great technical support. Cons: Susceptible to dog hair. Must be cleaned from time to time.
The product has worked perfectly for years of hard daily use. When it finally bit the dust at nearly the five-year point (I think I zapped it with static electricity), Kensington replaced it with a new one, no questions asked. Kensington's technical...
Pros: Cool looking, compatible with Linux Cons: Short product life, too big, large ball == less fine pointer control
I replaced my Kensington Turboball with a new trackball today, so I wanted to give a postmortem report. In the year or so that I had this thing, it probably worked correctly for less than half the time. As other reviewers have mentioned, the Turboball...
Pros: less hand movement, programmable, pricing Cons: poor movement
as a designer i need a mouse that provides precision and limited moving of my (carpal tunnel syndrome & tendonitis anyone?). moving across two 21" monitors take a lot of desktop real estate with a standard mouse.
Pros: Very comfortable design, i guess, scroll wheel ain't bad Cons: quality sucks
It's not like I'm saying Kensington is a bad manufacturer, but dis thing sucks. What got me into trying was the sweet design i noticed in the stoer: the thing is shaped real well, fits snuggly to either hand, the scroll wheel can be accessed just my...
