Product Information

However, you can re-program all buttons using the companion software and assign them to various functions like media controls or mice and keyboard functions. True to its name, the SlimBlade Pro is thinner and more compact than most desktop trackballs, particularly for one with a large 55mm ball. KensingtonWorks allows you to customize your Kensington trackball device: set the direction of scrolling, and the speed of the cursor and assign functions to buttons. Jump forward to the 21 st century and I found myself looking into trackballs again for my home office. Since you use the same ball to control the scrolling and moving the pointer, this is almost inevitable.

Though KensingtonWorks' simplicity makes things easier for office workers who don't care about precise customization, the baseline standards for mouse software are simply higher than this in 2023. Twisting the trackball clock-wise allows you to scroll down, while twisting it counter clock-wise lets you scroll up.Free downloadable KensingtonWorks™ software provides an easy-to-configure personalized experience, giving users the ability to assign a wide variety of program functions to 8 sets of programmable buttons with KensingtonWorks™ installed. Kensington promises 4 months of battery life with a single charge via the USB port, but I have not been able to test the total battery life yet. These are strong improvements, but revisiting the SlimBlade design after many years reveals a few flaws that the update doesn't address. Please allow 2 working days for a response as some item's enquiries with international suppliers may be required. After trying the different connection settings of the SlimBlade Pro trackball, I found that the SlimBlade DPI settings acted differently depending on the connection setting.

The ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK is a better stationary trackball mouse than the Kensington SlimBlade Trackball. Set your preferred functions or keyboard shortcuts for each trackball button or combination of buttons, adjust the pointer speed and acceleration and do so much more. That gives you eight inputs to which you can assign media controls, keyboard shortcuts, and other functions. If you press near the bottom, where you need the most force, you can feel the plastic bend a bit under your finger.
