Advantages: just so easy to uise Disadvantages: take a litle getting used to
I have been using a track ball mouse for a number of years now i think it must be at least five.Find it very easy to use for working on my projects hobby restoration of old photos.
For this type of work you need a good deal of control if you are to make a decent job restoring the photos, using photoshop i blow my image up to very large size then work at 1 or 2 pixels to get the effect that i am looking for with out the control of this track ball i would find it almost imposible to do the work, i know there are pen pads around i have one but cannot get on with it.
Doing my other computer work is so easy just a little bit of finger movement will put the mouse where i need it.
i also play games with it not the all singing danceing games that need a control pad of there own but the games that came with the laptop, again great ...

Not Kensington's finest!
Pros: The trackball runs smooth if operating normally. The looks and feel are good (except the scroll ring).

So I used my old trackball and just replaced the cup (w/ the red supports (3)) and all was well. Now my scroll ring is acting finicky. It wont detect movement, or it will and ...
Advantages: good range Disadvantages: a little big for a laptop
Kensington Ci70LE Wireless Mouse
In terms of design the mouse and its colours and pattern feature on top of it make it look very cool, however it appears to be an odd shape and a little bit big. Perhaps if you have huge hands then this might just be the perfect mouse for you but I myself prefer smaller more compact mouse's as opposed to big clumsy ones.
It is however quite a nice red colour which is a colour you don't really see much in mouse's so if you have a laptop that is partially this colour or a pc that's this colour then perhaps this would suit it. The receiver is also in this red colour too which is nice to see as it matches quite well. I'm not sure it's a colour I like that much however it does make a change to the boring silver or black mouse and it does funk up your desktop a little.
The wireless signal can reach ...
