Kensington Orbit Elite - trackball

The first thing to say about the Kensington Orbit Elite is that it looks more impressive than it truly is. With its futuristic aesthetics you could be forgiven for expecting it to deliver pioneering technology, but alas you would be mistaken. This basic trackball is a wonder to behold.
