Review: Microsoft Trackball Explorer

 

It's not a mouse! Kai Chandler reviews Microsoft's latest mouse alternative.

Smooth action of optical ball. Five year warranty

Right handed use only

It's difficult to recommend a trackball over a mouse or vice versa as it's really down to personal preference, but whatever type of device you choose, there's no doubt that the IntelliEye sensor technology has something to offer. Although quite pricey...

Great scroll wheel track ball!

 

I got this track ball after years of using the standard mouse. The first thing I noticed was the thumb buttons felt a tad loose, not as solid clicks as my Explorer mouse. This wasn't a huge problem, and the finger buttons were much better. After...

I had to have one once I put my hand on one.

 

I saw this on a laptop that belonged to a friend who had severe RSI damage to her hands. I've had CP surgery awhile back so this trackball mouse looked like it might fit the bill. The first time I put my hand on it, I was sold. It just fit like a...

good on my hand

 

I love this device, I have a repetitive stress injury on my pointer finger(too many years of mousing) and the device allows me to use my thumb to left and right click. The programable buttons are awsome too!

The Best

 

By far, this is the best pointing device I've ever used. Extremely accurate for online gaming, office software, you name it. Ergonomics are the strong suit for this trackball...hand sits very naturally, and clicking with the thumb feels more natural...

WARNING! *** Poor quality gamming mouse! ***

 

Microsoft has done it again! They built a revolutionary 5-button trackball with a half-backed design and shoddy craftsmenship. The thumb buttons are flimsy and if you press too hard the mouse wheel button clicks down at the same time. We gamers are not...

Great Trackball

 

Love this trackball, smooth and fits the hand so naturally. I have pretty big hands and everything fits well. Can really spin around playing quake or precisely choose verts in 3d apps. Had a Logitech t-ball but after a while the ridge started hurting...

Microsoft Trackball Explorer D68-00007 2-Tone 5 Buttons 1x Wheel + 1x TrackBall USB or PS/2 TrackBall TrackBall

 

this is one of the best trackballs i have had (my kenxxxton served me well for 9 years, R.I.P.) this one takes a while to get used to because of the way u have to hold it (kind of sideways), but it fits my hand perfectly. the extra buttons area great...

Good, but not great

 

I've had this trackball for a couple years now. The tracking is excellent. The ergonomics are good. The buttons are placed well. For general desktop use, this is a fine trackball. However, if you use it in a dusty environment (own a pet, or get lots of...

Microsoft Trackball Explorer D68-00007 2-Tone 5 Buttons 1x Wheel + 1x TrackBall USB or PS/2 TrackBall TrackBall

 

This is a good trackball. The extra buttons (mainly used for "back" and "forward" in a web browser) are nice, and the feel is good. However, my hand slips off of it a bit, and gamers, be aware that it is difficult to depress both left and right buttons...
