Better than I expected!

I was in need of a trackball mouse because of lower arm pain due to a death grip I was using on the regular mouse. Since using the new Kensington, I have noticed a significant decrease in the pain. The trackball is super easy to operate. It may take a little getting used to, but not enough to have that be the reason for not getting one. The ball moves very smoothly and the ring for scrolling up and down may be a little stiff at first, but that definitely goes away with use. The Kensington proved to be better than I expected! So glad I got one!

GREAT PRODUCT!

I really love this mouse. I cannot use the regular type because of an injury to my hand. This is just so great because everything you need is right there. They even let you scroll by just moving the circle that is around the ball. It is just so great not to have to move the mouse everywhere to get it to work. I have tried other types like this but they always had some problem so far this one is perfect.My grandchildren love it too even though they are able to use any type mouse. They were afraid I might not get another one when I gave my old computer away that had the older version of this mouse.They are so happy with this one now because of the improvements. It is well worth the money.

Design of the 64213 was better, but this one is ok

I've been using the 64213 for seven years now (since 7/31/01, price paid $99, it's great and well worth it), and wanted to get one of these as a gift for a friend.

They no longer make the 64213, which rolled on stainless steel rollers.

I was skeptical about the 64325, because it was different (optical). I thought that it would have a different feel (I was right).

Overall, I would recommend it, though, instead of a regular mouse, for comfort, to prevent against carpal tunnel, and clutching, and for ease of navigation through virtual worlds like Second Life.

**********************************************************

Differences I've noticed:

1.) The stainless steel rollers in the 64213 gave you more of a tactile connection between where you were rolling, and what the mouse was doing on the screen. You don't have that so much with this optical trackball. Also, the 64325 requires a lighter touch, which may actually prove to be good over time. I won't be able to say, though, because I'm giving it to someone as a gift (it's good).

2.) The length of this mouse is shorter. I can understand that about the front, since there are no quick launch buttons (I never used these on a regular basis), but I liked the extended length in the front of the 64213 better, because I have a large hand. This is not a big deal.

3.) The 64325 seems to be angled down a little bit more in front. I like the angle of the 64213 better. This is not a big deal.

4.) The scroll 'ring' works ok, although I've read otherwise in other reviews. I never regularly used the scroll 'wheel' in the 64213.

Reason: I set my buttons as follows . . .

bottom left: left-click
top left: drag
top right: right-click
bottom right: double click

If I'm viewing a web page (which is when I might use the scroll 'ring') . . . I don't use the scroll 'ring' or 'wheel' . . . instead, I use the vertical slider in the browser, on the right, my top left mouse button (drag), and the trackball itself as the scroll 'ring' or 'wheel' . . . in my opinion, the scroll 'ring' or 'wheel' is redundant.

**********************************************************

Other comments:

1.) I tried the included palm pad support that you can attach. It didn't work for me, because my hand is large, and you have to position your hand relative to how it attaches. When I went to left-click on the bottom left button with my thumb, when my thumb came off of the button, I would hear a spring sound that you shouldn't hear. I overcame this by clicking a little bit further down on the button, while using a detached palm pad support that I got somewhere else (see pic).

2.) It takes a couple of hours for it to be 'broken in,' for smooth trackball movement.

3.) Use the 'Acceleration' and 'Fine Tuning' settings to get it just the way you want.

4.) It will bring my computer out of Standby when connected as PS/2, but not as USB (same with the 64213 - even when I verified that I had that option checked in properties).

5.) They added rubberized feet to it, which is nice. I did this with the 64213 (it didn't have them).

Great Device

This product has worked far better than expected. Some have complained about problems using the scrolling wheel. I had no such problems. I think the secret is that you don't have to make one full rotation on the wheel with you finger but several very small strokes will do the job just fine. I hope this is helpful information.

The best trackball ever made has just gotten better. Designed for PCs and Mac's, the new Expert Mouse employsKensington's Diamond Eye optical technology for smooth, precise cursor movement. Surrounding the ball, Kensington has a brand new implementation of its award winning Scroll Ring that puts scrolling right at your fingertips. More comfortable than ever, the Expert Mouse even comes with a soft new wrist rest-right in the box! You get all of these great new features along with the same, large ball, exceptional control, and ease-of-use that has set the industry standard for more than 15 years.
