Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical - Review

Product Review: Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball (K75326WW), Black, 3" x 4" x 6.1"

As someone who spends a lot of time in front of a computer, I know how important it is to have the right equipment that can help avoid wrist and arm strain, which can ultimately lead to debilitating injuries. That's why I was excited to try out the Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball (K75326WW), which promises to promote comfortable use during extended periods of use. After using it for a few weeks, here's my assessment of the product:

Design:

The Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball is ergonomically designed by an ergonomist to provide all-day comfort through a 60° tilt and natural handshake position to improve wrist and forearm position. The natural handshake positioning means that the hand rests on the mouse at an angle, rather than flat on the desk as with traditional mice, which helps to reduce wrist strain.

Ease of Use:

One of my concerns before using a trackball mouse was its complexity and learning curve, but I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to use the Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball. It uses the same left click, right click, and scroll wheel operation as a traditional mouse while providing the advantages of a trackball with a simple roll of the thumb. The thumb-operated trackball allows for precise cursor control and minimal strain on the fingers.

Precision & Speed:

The Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball has a high-quality optical tracking sensor, a 34mm thumb-operated trackball, and a triple DPI switch that provides smooth cursor control, optimal precision, and easy cursor speed transitions. These features allow you to customize the cursor's sensitivity to ensure perfect accuracy. The cursor moves smoothly and quickly, and the sensor picks up movement with precision.

Wireless Connectivity:

The Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball offers flexible wireless connection options, enabling you to connect the mouse to up to three different devices. One of the devices can be connected via the 2.4GHz nano dongle that stows inside the trackball body. The other two devices can be connected via Bluetooth so you can switch between multiple devices with ease.

Customization:

With the KensingtonWorks software, you can customize nine programmable buttons to tackle common tasks with one touch. You can customize the pointer and scrolling options as per your convenience. For those who prefer plug-and-play settings, you can start using the mouse immediately without any need for customizations. However, in my experience, I found the software to be intuitive and easy to navigate, making customization a breeze.

Customer Reviews:

The Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball has a 3.9 out of 5-star rating based on 1241 reviews. A majority of the customers who rated it highly praise the ergonomic design, ease of use, and customization options. Some users mentioned that it took them a while to adjust to the trackball and hand positioning, but, in their experience, it was well worth the effort.

In conclusion, the Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball (K75326WW) is an excellent product for anyone who spends significant time in front of a computer. It has an ergonomic design that promotes a natural hand and wrist position to avoid strain and fatigue, making it more pleasant to use for extended periods. It provides accurate cursor control and speed that can be customized to your liking. Its wireless connectivity feature makes it easy to switch between devices, and the KensingtonWorks software allows for easy customization for ultimate convenience. While it may take some time to adapt to the trackball design, the benefits ultimately outweigh the transition, making this an excellent investment for anyone looking for ergonomic and efficient mice.
