Compact ambidextrous design ; Wired and wireless support ; Twist-to-scroll ; Dual optical sensors ; Great battery life

Large click panels can be tough to press ; Low-profile base offers little thumb or wrist support

The updated wireless version of Kensington's SlimBlade trackball still looks great and takes little desk space, but it's no more comfortable to use than the original.

Kensington reputation

Very disappointing. If you are buying the SlimBlade because it has software to support the "media mode" and "document viewing mode", you'll be sorely disappointed. Just got off the line with Technical Support. It was only after 10 minutes on the phone...

Attractive, and well made (braided usb cable) counterpart of the K64325.

- Track ball too small - no scroll ring - awkward buttons.

Seems to be an improved version of the Expert mouse. There is a hole in the bottom of the ball-cradle that allows dust and other unmentionables from blocking the laser. The buttons are stiff (slightly too stiff right now but I expect that to change)...

Very nice replacement for the Kensington Expert. Smooth operation, refined design and low profile. This is a classy looking trackball. Nibs that the ball glides on are well designed and do not appear to trap as much dirt as the Expert. Quiet (er)...

While this is a really nice trackball I'm going to ding it a star for price in combination with the following two issues - the cord is about 1ft shorter than it should be and the button clicks could be slightly quieter. Perhaps in a couple of years...
