Why to Buy?
I need a second mouse to travel with.
My touchpad is so difficult to use.
My mouse broke.
I want to get a mouse that’s better than the one that shipped with my system.
Legacy Expert Mice had created a following for Kensington trackballsThe Expert 7 is currently Kensington’s top-selling input sku *
We took the trackball concept and went a few steps further– It’s all in the ball
• Cursor control• Scoll control – now integrated into the ball, thanks to state-of-the-art twin laser
sensors– Control
• Media mode controls Microsoft Media Center and i-tunes• Pan/zoom mode controls web browsers, productivity software, photo-editing software
and viewers, such as Internet Explorer, Office, Photoshop and Acrobat (list of supported applications in Appendix)
– Comfort• The comfort that made the trackball famous, now ennhanced: slim design eliminates
need for wrist rest– Slimblade design
• Saves desktop space, looks great in any environmentApril 19, 2023
