I was not familiar with Kensington products earlier, so when I read about the new trackball mouse from Kensington, I was not sure whether to buy it or not. I have seen a few people using USB trackball before but I never liked the way it looks. Frankly speaking, they were not at all portable and quite bulky. I was not comfortable with side squeeze facilities of Bluetooth mouse. Therefore, I actually had no option but to try this new SlimBlade trackball Kensington mouse. I cannot say I am very happy with the result. I thought that it is good, but there are some faults, which can definitely be fixed. Unless the company do something about the faults, this mouse can never become popular among the people.

Kensington SlimBlade Trackball Mouse with Bluetooth Wireless

Kensington trackball was simply what I was looking for so long. It really fits all my requirements. Even a child can pair it with Mac. Yes, this is very easy to pair with your Mac. It works great, absolutely no problems of moving or pointing. If you feel that the laser mouse is working very fast, and you need to sow it down, simply double click on the flush top button. It will change immediately into a simple trackball mouse. Is not it amazing? That is why; I am telling you that it has some rich features, which can easily impress even critical customers like me.

Now the problems I have faced, and surely, everyone using this is facing the dirt inside the trackball. I even have talked to the service centre, and they said only replacement can fix this problem. I found that very impractical, because this is not possible to replace my mouse every time I face that problem. There is simply no ways to clean the trackball so that it can work properly. Another way is there, but that is too pricy for anybody. The process will include some complex stages like opening the mouse and then cleaning the trackball using small size torx driver. These are not easy to find in the market, and even after cleaning, the mouse does not work properly. However, hopefully, the company will upgrade it soon, and if you can maintain the trackball clean then you can surely opt for this one.
