The angle of the unit means the wrist is flexed upward when twiddling the ball. However, the hand position when using the unit is a problem. The scroll ring is convenient and works well - a selling point. It is mechanically simple and appears robust. I opted for the Expert, based on its included wrist rest. ![]() The Kensington Expert and Slimblade models were the best options I could find.

I have never had to clean a Logitech trackman Marble ball, but this Kensington requires constant cleaning to operate smoothly. So why the 4 stars instead of 5? You have to CONSTANTLY clean the trackball ball for a smooth operation. The scroll ring acts just like a scroll wheel on a mouse and is extremely accurate. Almost all other trackballs have no ability to scroll except to move the ball along the drawbar - and most trackballs' ball is too small to be delicate enough to just move a line at a time. The scroll ring is the high point of this trackball, since it is not a mouse, there is no scrolling wheel. The 4 triggering buttons are well placed and responsive, the whole housing is quite ergonomically designed for an extraordinarily comfortable fit - regardless if you have small hands and fingers, or large paws like me. This is a LARGE trackball, which is perfect for any operation requiring detailed operation (CAD, Painting, etc.) as well as general everyday usage.
