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.

After decades as a Logitech person, I finally bought a Kensington wireless last week. It's taken a couple of days of adjustment but I'm happy with it now. It matches the aesthetic of my ThinkPad and works well enough. I've also never used a scroll wheel, so that's been really fun to figure out.
