Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality


Full disclosure: the product does what it says on the tin and is well built.


It was easy to setup and works wonderful


The buttons are too soft, lots of miss-fires.


Got tired of the switches constantly wearing out and having to replace the mouse.

Price


A 1mm shim solves this but for such a pricey device, this is not a reasonable solution.


Overall, if you’re thinking of getting a trackball mouse, spend the money on this one and don’t look back.


The wireless model solves that, albeit at the cost of having to be recharged.

Shipping


It took about a week to get adjusted to.

Packaging/appearance


The video shows the product being unpacked.

Competitiveness


I have not tested with multiple computers; other devices seem to have a switch for this that slimblade does not have.


Nevertheless, i prefer pressing them compared to the expert's.


I thought slimblade would be the next best thing, but it's actually better.

    The thumb roller was bothering me a bit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i hesitated giving the kensington a try


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is essentially a wireless version of the venerable slimblade


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It has the same dimensions but actually looks a little nicer as the ring aronud the ball is now the same color as the device and that superfluous rubber thing on the edge is gone


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It also works the same but doesnt have the wire tethering you to the computer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wanted to try this because my current wired models cable isnt long enough to go to the back of my floorstanding pc it just barely makes it limiting where i can place the trackball


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The wireless model solves that albeit at the cost of having to be recharged


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    And thats because you can do the maximum amount of computer work with the least amount of movement with a trackball mouse like this
