I just know I have not had this problem with the various Apply mice I have had. It may also be that I am still using MS Word 2003 but the latest version is detested by most of my friends who write a lot so I would rather not go there.As I said I am not a technical user any more. I simply need an ergonomic mouse that will work.
Because of that dual function, you have more 'real estate' for your fingers to grab on to, and that allows for more precision and control.Let me say a word about the scrolling. I watched the Kensington promotional videos and thought it was a gimmick that couldn't possibly work well in real life. I was wrong in my judgement. I can go from scrolling all over the page to twisting the ball back and forth to scroll without a single hiccup. Not one.
Many of us track-ballers still miss the larger trackball. Kensington shouls listen to the users before cutting over to the hip design look. The Slimblade is a solid choice and does the job. It looks hip and might get some of you over users a date or time away from the screen - 'cause it is HIP.TR
I read all of the reviews of this product before buying this product. I didn't think that the fact that the buttons weren't programmable would be an issue, because I do word-processing, Photoshop, and Powerpoint, and I never play video games. I bought it because I was having problems with my wrist and I thought the low, sloped design would eliminate the need to arch my hand to reach the bottons. It didn't work out that way. The ball is very large, heavy, and high.
I am not so much an expert user as an intense user. I write most of the day.I bought this mouse because of developing health issues. Along with the keyboard and height adjustable desk all my health issues went away. Ergonomically speaking I love this mouse.My issue is scrolling (Mac OS 10.6, MS Word 2003). It does not scroll the window on many/most of my programs. Word is the worst because it scrolls only sometimes.
ExpertMouse cords are longer.All in all a very nice product, ergonomically the best I've seen and used and I believe I will keep it, I really like it. The new driver is very encouraging and perhaps Kensington will decide to give us button chording as well as support for older trackballs after release. The driver is fairly stable and has few minor issues.
Been using Kensington Trackballs since they started selling them.In fact, I have a strong dislike of conventional mice.In the past I too suffered thru their &#34;not ready for prime time release,&#34; software.This unit would be great paired with their &#34;MouseWorks&#34; software. Unfortunately, the software supplied detracts from this amazingly great trackball.
Despite the companies claim that OS X is supported, this is not the case. The most important left click button will allow you to place the cursor in a spot but not double click to select a word. Thus, it completely disobeys the standard and expected behavior for a mouse. Also, the software in OS X does not allow double clicking to open certain icons. Some icons work, others don't, producing erratic and unpredictable mouse behavior. Tech Support has no idea about the problemThe website contains software drivers.
This assessment is based on the latest release dated 6/2/2011 versioned 1.04. The software creates an icon in the notification window that just randomly disappears. You can tell when it happens because the mouse will jerk, bringing up the Windows hourglass for a second (just during any random movement). When the icon goes away, it's impossible to start the application back up (the icon comes back and goes away a split-second later).
Answer: I'm still in the process of evaluating this, but so far I'm not entirely pleased. I actually am giving this a chance dispite the lack of programmable buttons. I just find that a very silly thing to do, its something almost every mouse out there comes with. For $130 I should be able to decide what my buttons do. Every person I told how much this cost and how I had no customizability were astonished. My old Logitech Cordless Trackman (a 4 year old design at least) cost half as much and had much more customizability.The main issue I'm having with that is no back button on the mouse.Worse though, is I cannot set my vertical axis. Everyone positions their hands on mice differently and moves their fingers to direct the ball differently. For this mouse I can't set what is Up/Down for me so I have to learn how to use this. It's frustrating.This is not my first trackball, I'll take back everything if after time i adjust, or if Kensington adjusts their stance and decides to widen their market.Mostly I don't understand the idea of deliberately deciding to remove features. It's like selling a car with pre-set radio stations and fixed position seats: "Based on our research, the average person is 5'10" and listens to the Beatles, so the car has been pre-set with these people in mind".I probably sound a bit passionate, but I was really looking forward to this, even convinced myself that the button customization was a non-issue, it was the axis adjustment that pushed me over the edge. This is a beautiful, well made device, that exudes quality, has 4 easy to use buttons, fits my hand fantastically. It just seems that the hardware guys knocked this one out of the park, and the software guys just phoned it in.
