Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Was using a standard USB trackball on my MacBook Pro while working at my desk, but it wasn't very portable. Most wireless trackballs out there were all pretty bulky. Finally broke down and got the Apple bluetooth wireless mouse, but could never get used to the strange right-click and the squeeze side-buttons.
Saw the Kensington bluetooth combo trackball mouse. Absolute dead-on fit for what I needed. Paired easily with Mac OS-X Leopard. No extra software needed. The trackball and mouse-click action is smooth but you may want to change the mouse tracking to slow it down a bit. You double-click the flush top button and it switches from laser-tracking mouse to regular trackball. Very clever. The trackball is a bit small and pretty sensitive so probably not for painting free-hand use. But the small size keeps the overall bulk down. Also nice that it uses two AA batteries--easy to replace on the road.
In mouse-mode, trackball acts like a scroll-wheel (except you can also track side-to-side). The only improvement that comes to mind is some sort of indicator so you can tell if you've left it in mouse or trackball mode. However, I suspect most people will pick one mode and stick with it.
So far, very happy with it.
