Has some problems

Using this mouse with a Mac PowerBook G4, system OS X 10.4.11. have used it for a few months now.

The slim design makes it easy to pack in a laptop case. For use, it might be better if the front were higher, and the, um, posterior were lower. I'm male, medium size hands, glove size 10 or sometimes 9. The mouse fits me so-so, not great.

The trackball is too loose and touchy. The mouse does switch back and forth easily between mouse and trackball modes, after a person figures out how. (A simple double click of the inner button around the trackball.) The so-called documentation is worthless; Kensington killed a tree for nothing, to print their sorry excuse for documentation.

It tracks very well. It pairs easily with the Mac. It goes to sleep too easily, but that does help battery life. Battery life is excellent.

The double click is sometimes erratic, unless it's just my particular mouse. Testing the double click speed in System Preferences doesn't work at all - the double click doesn't show in the test area. A software problem between the puter and mouse. However, the change of setting does work.

I intend to keep using this mouse, but wouldn't buy it again unless Kensington can show they've improved it.

Works well, Not sure about the hand feel

I am using the SlimBlade with a MacBook pro and have been very happy with it. The first thing you need to know is that the documentation that comes with it is worthless, but you can download excellent documentation from the Kensington website (weird when you think about it, no?) Getting it to talk to the MacBook via bluetooth was very easy. I have used the SlimBlade in both mouse and trackball mode and it has done well in both. You do need to spend some time adjusting the sensitivity to your personal preferences, because of the small size of the ball it can take some tweaking and getting used to. Also, the hand feel can take some getting used to; the SlimBlade is fairly flat and wide (hence the name.) At first I found it clumsy but I have adapted and now find it comfortable.

Wow What a Mouse!

This mouse is the best ever. My husband and I each bought one and we are completely satisfied with them. The Kensington Slimblade Trackball Mouse fits in the hand very well, changes easily from normal to trackball mode, and works from farther away than I can read the words on the screen. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Pitch your Mighty Mouse and grab this.

After going through two of Apple's so-called "mighty" mice Apple Bluetooth Wireless Mighty Mouse each with chronically malfunctioning scrolling beads, I decided to pitch them in favor of a more durable alternative. I had a couple of criteria. First, it had to be Bluetooth wireless -- not one of those ridiculous proprietary wireless protocols from Microsoft Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 -Slate or Logitech Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks that oblige you to use up one of your USB ports on an adapter. If your computer has built in Bluetooth (like all Macs today), don't go there. Second, it had to be well-built and ergonomically friend.

The Kensington SlimBlade more than fit the bill. It is a solid piece of craftmanship, with a large, more fluid ball than the Might Mouse. It plays quickly and nicely Mac OS X, and is in obtrusive on the desktop. It tracks with precision and two AA batteries have been in mine for almost two months without being replaced.

Highly recommended.
