Pros & Cons
Pros
The orbit is ambidextrous and its operation is clean and intuitive. It is a game changer because it has alleviated so much pain in my wrist from using a regular mouse for years. When suffering mouse thumb this trackball provides a comfortable alternat... Read More
Orbit scroll ring feels smoother than on the expert. Use it 3 or 4 days a week, which by the way massively reduces strain/rsi.
Cons
While asleep, both the trackball and the scroll ring are not unresponsive.
This software version is compatible with ventura and earlier versions of mac os, but not sonoma. It's now january, 2024 and these hardware and software issues have not been fixed.
It has a great scroll wheel, but now it won't even make a good doorstop. This thing feels like it was the first try by kensington to make a trackball but failed miserably.
Highlights

Has all the needed functionality and the ball tracks very well.

Without that ball bearing, the mouse movement would skip drag like sneakers on a basketball court.
Price
It works well for the price i paid.
Good for the price - without paying close to a hundred dollars for the really ergonomic ones.
Shipping
I didn't realize this one i received had been returned when ordering, but saw the sticker on delivery.
Competitiveness
I own multiple trackballs from kensington, elcomm, and logitech.
I got this to replace a previous version of what looks like the same thing from the same brand.
While that may sound basic, i had to return another brand where the trackball resisted moving up and down.
