Kensington Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you like trackballs, the Kensington Orbit with the scroll ring is a solid “stop fighting your desk” option. The big win in day-to-day work is control: you don’t have to lift your arm or drag a mouse across the surface, so it’s usually kinder on repetitive strain and easier when you’re in a tight workspace, on video calls, or bouncing between apps. The scroll ring is genuinely useful too—fast navigation without the finger gymnastics you get on cheaper trackballs that only feel accurate when you’re trying really hard.

That said, it’s not for everyone. Trackballs have a learning curve, and if your workflow is lots of precision clicking and dragging in short bursts, a good mouse may still feel quicker and more natural. For £47.70 ex-VAT, I’d say it’s good value for teams who want reliability and comfort over raw speed—think office power users, finance/admin teams on spreadsheets, or anyone who’s already using a trackball but wants a better experience. If you’re buying for someone who currently hates trackballs, don’t force it—this won’t magically convert them, and you’ll just end up with an underused accessory.
