Top quality trackball
The Kensington Expert Pro (Mouse) Trackball (model #K64325) is well designed, well made and offers the features needed for a high productivity workstation system. The sensitivity to trackball motion is at a level well suited to general workstation pointing needs. The ball glides easily in its socket and can be tipped out for cleaning out the inevitable dust accumulation. The four buttons provide more that what is needed for the expected multi-but... Show More

Flexible Comfortable Mouse
I bought this mouse to alleviate wrist/hand pain I have been experiencing for the past year doing computer work. I work with AutoCAD software daily, and finding a mouse that provides easy access to most common functions in a comfortable form is difficult. This mouse features a large trackball (size of a plum) that is easy to manipulate with either a couple fingers, a thumb, or even the entire palm, and the motion is quite natural. The best part a...

At Last, the Trackball for Me
I've never liked mice. While first shopping for trackballs, I decided that one with the largest ball I could find would be best for me. But trackballs weren't very popular at the time, and the Logitech Marble Mouse was the best choice I could find. It's still sold as the Trackman Marble and B&H stocks it; I've never had any complaints about mine, but now that a better selection is available and it's finally time for a change, the Kensington Exper...

Rolling Back to the Future with Expert Mouse
In a touch screen digital world, switching from Logitech MX Master mouse to Kensington Expert felt like going Back to the Future. I gave myself 7 days to work only on Kensington Expert Mouse. The tactile feedback of a large ball turned out to be extremely satisfying experience. The feature I've used the most on MX Mater, and I thought I would not have on Expert Mouse was a thumb-wheel function, which was setup to switch between the 3 virtual desk... Show More

Must Have for Digital Audio
You will forget about your mouse and even your touchscreen. Not that those aren't great technologies, they just require you perform the strenuous, repetitive and ultimately torturous gymnastics that your back, shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist and fingers need to through manipulating mice and touchscreens, (which can lead to serious pain and worse) in audio and video apps. Well, that's all history using the Expert Mouse trackball to move through audio ... Show More

Doesn't work for me ergonomically
I have used track balls for as long as they've been available. I bought this unit when it was on sale because it received 4 star reviews, and I'm starting a major graphics project and thought a new device might bring a new perspective to the work. The Logitech's that I've used for years place the ball to be operated with the thumb, and your index and middle fingers naturally land on the two buttons, with a wheel in between ... the only tiny movem...

Large Ball but not the best in general..
I use trackballs for years and tried many models but the thumb control trackball is not my favour because my thumb will get tired easily. I skid to say the advantages of trackball over mouse here. I am using Kensington Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring and supposed to upgrade to Expert Pro, but love the Orbit more. The big advantage of Expert Pro is the large trackball. It makes the moving is much precise. In order not to move the fingers many tim... Show More

Good, though software is a drawback
It's only been a week or so using the Expert Pro, and I don't think that's enough time to see if my RSI symptoms return. However, since switching from the Apple Magic Mouse and basic MS mouse I've found: Positives: -I like that I'm encouraged to keep my wrist steady with the Expert Pro, whereas on a regular mouse I tend to pivot from the wrist (read: bad) -I like the use of 4+2 programmable buttons, which keeps me bouncing less between keyboard a...

No More Desk Real Estate
Largest ball on the block. Massive ball allows for more detailed pointer movement, as well as having a larger mass for moving across the screen quicker. I have owned three of these, and usually purchase them through a competitor. This item was on Deal Zone, and was almost 50% the price they offer. I couldn't pass it up. Problems: The only reason I have three of them is because of the quality (or lack of) when it comes to the scroll ring. Cleaning... Show More

Decent, but not the best. Kensington Support is the worst.
I've been using a Microsoft Trackball Explorer for several years, and I wanted to try something new. To me the Microsoft Trackball Explorer is unparalleled in it accuracy. It was my hope that the Expert would be at least as good. While it does have a decent feel to it (and I do like the larger ball), the Expert cannot or will not play well with Adobe Photoshop. Specifically, the Expert (when using the Photoshop's Selection Tool) does not or canno... Show More

Nice Trackball
I purchased the Expert Mouse to replace my old Kensington TurboMouse 3.0. The TurboMouse used mechanical tracking and was worn out after more than two decades of use. I had previously purchased a Kensington Orbit Trackball and was unhappy with it due to the small trackball and the position in which it forced me to hold my hand due to the supposedly ergonomic (not in my opinion) shape of the device. The Expert Mouse is wonderful to use. Just like ... Show More

The Best Gets Better
I've used the Expert Mouse Pro in all our studios for years. I literally couldn't design or edit audio and film without it. Having used every input device imaginable I still don't understand why the trackball is such a minority product. Mice are deficient in so many ways to a trackball- and this trackball is even better than before. The new optical tracking is far beyond the previous Expert Pros in glide and feel and control. I was actually conce... Show More

Best Pointing Device I've Used
This is the third Kensington trackball I've owned over the last 13 or so years. The first was the old ADB Turbo Mouse 4 and the second was this exact same trackball. Both the Turbo Mouse and my first Expert Mouse died from trouble with the junction between the cord and trackball body. That being said, I am a little rough with my pointing devices, and it's no wonder that the wires would eventually pull from the body enough to cause the internal co... Show More

Why Would Anyone Use a Mouse?
I have a couple of these. My first computer was a Mac PowerBook with a trackball, and over the 20 years since then I have never learned to feel comfortable with a mouse. A trackball is so much more comfortable because you move only your fingers, not your hand. I've tried several different trackballs, and this one is the best, hands down. With the wrist rest extension, it feels completely natural under my hand. Moving the cursor around with the ba... Show More

So smooth, it's almosttherapeutic.
I have this on my workstation next to my Wacom Intuos. I use the wacom for Premiere/After Effects/Photoshop, and the trackball for internet browsing and general computer use. For this purpose is really amazing. My favorite feature is the big scroll wheel, that makes document/web browsing so easy. Also, the software lets you set application specific profiles that come really handy. For example: On Adobe Premiere, I set it up so the top left button... Show More

Well, not this newest mouse. It just continues the benefits I enjoyed with my previous - identical - Trackball - for 14 years - prior to it finally giving up the ghost with a left button failure. :-( Was I ever happy to know Kensington still has them!! However, it was that mouse, and this new one, which continue to make my use of the computer possible. My father managed to "pass down" some nervous shaking in my thumbs that makes the use of a co...

What happened to these ??
I bought my first Expert mouse 6 years ago and couldn't work without it since. I do lots of audio and video editing. The ball however got a chip in it and it became madening to use. Kensington does not offer a replacement ball (they want to sell a new unit of course). So, I bought a new one. What I received was nothing like the previous one, looked exactly the same but the plastic was thinner and cheesy and it makes a ton of noise. The whole thin... Show More

Conventional mouses (mice?) are *
My first computer, in the mid-'90s, was a Mac PowerBook with a trackball, and I have been a trackball guy ever since; a conventional mouse, with all the motion it requires, seems * to me. I can't imagine anyone using a mouse once they've tried a trackball.I use this with my iMac. This latest Kensington is a little big and not quite as comfortable as the original Turbomouse, but it's OK in that respect, and the 4 buttons are great. I always use on... Show More

The best mice I've used.
I have been using Kensington Expert Mice for almost 30 years, ever since I saw a graphics illustrator using one where I worked. Over the years I have been very impressed with the the quality and intuitive feel. The ball is about the same size as a billiard ball and is very easy on my arthritis. when my little finger started acting up, I just reprogrammed the right click to a different button.

Complete garbage

OK but watch for W7 issues
Works well, took a while to break in the trackball. I propped the wrist rest on a thin book to get a good angle. Works well in CAD. The scroll ring is cheap feeling, but works well (this was no surprise from other reviews). The software (trackball works) is OK, but does not have alot of programmability. Accelleration does not include detailed control. The software worked fine on one windows 7 64 bit machine, but on a windows 7 64 bit laptop it cr... Show More

Bigger ball and scroll wheel equals more control with less effort
After having used all the Logitechs and even the Kensington orbit plus scroll wheel, this is the easiest to use and easiest to control out the box. The infinity scroll wheel lets you scroll down or through Long docs by spinning it with one finger without having to let go of the ball with the other fingers. Scroll is smooth but texturey, not unpleasant at all! The idea is to let more of your hand and fingers control the motions with minimal ... Show More
