I’ve been rocking the Kensington Orbit wired for years now and I’ve yet to find a better trackball.

Reasons:

  • works for both hands
  • scroll ring
  • big ball
  • wired
  • works reliably

I use the trackball with my left hand and a mouse with my right.

It seems like such a cheaply made product, but it just works so very, very well.

    I’m not sure how old this community is, but I just started seeing it today. I feel like it, and this post in particular, were made for me. I’ve never enjoyed anything but the Orbit.

        I’m grateful for its existence. Lemmy is the only place I’ve found anything but derision for trackballs.

        I mean, they ship with the detachable wrist rest in my experience, so regardless of how one feels about the wrist rest I think you’re good. Unless you meant a separate one, which is almost as achievable.
