Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical - Review

Product Review: Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball-White (K75263WW)

Are you tired of wrist and arm strain from using a traditional mouse all day? Look no further than the Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball. This ergonomist-approved design promotes proper wrist, arm, and shoulder alignment to maximize comfort and minimize potential strains.

The design of the Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball is mouse-like, making for an easy transition from traditional mouse use. However, the trackball provides more accurate and smooth cursor control than a typical mouse, and allows you to easily switch between DPI settings for different cursor speed control. The result? Reduced fatigue and more precise navigation.

One feature that sets the Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball apart is its flexible wireless connection options. You can connect it to up to three computers, and switching is easy - no extra steps required. The default settings are plug-and-play, but you can download KensingtonWorks software to customize nine buttons. This allows you to quickly tackle common tasks, saving you time and increasing productivity.

The design of the Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball is both functional and clean. It features a button to eject the trackball for easy cleaning. The unique design is also easy to clean.

One of the biggest concerns with wireless devices is battery life. The Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball boasts a long battery life - up to 18 months on two AA batteries (included). The battery indicator light eliminates surprises, so you'll know when it's time to replace the batteries.

With over 62 reviews and an average rating of 3.7 out of 5 stars, it's clear that this trackball has its pros and cons. Let's take a closer look at some of the feedback from customers.

Some users rave about the ergonomic design. One reviewer states, "I love this mouse. I had been using a traditional mouse for years, and started to develop carpal tunnel syndrome. I switched to this trackball and the pain has gone away."

Another positive feature mentioned is the battery life. One customer wrote, "I've been using this mouse for six months now and haven't had to change the batteries yet. The battery indicator light is also helpful."

However, some customers mention issues with connectivity. One reviewer shares, "I had a difficult time getting the wireless connection to work consistently. I often had to restart my computer and/or the mouse to get it to connect." Another user notes similar difficulties, stating, "I love the mouse, but sometimes it stops responding. I have to turn it off and on again to get it working."

Another common complaint among reviewers is the trackball. Some customers found that it was too sensitive, making it difficult to control. Others mention that the trackball "sticks" or is difficult to clean.

In summary, if you're looking for a comfortable, ergonomic design with long battery life, the Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball may be a good fit for you. However, some users have reported issues with connectivity and trackball sensitivity. If you do decide to purchase this trackball, take advantage of the customizable buttons through KensingtonWorks software to maximize its potential.

Overall, the Kensington Pro Fit® Ergo Vertical Wireless Trackball has its ups and downs but could be a good solution for anyone who deals with wrist, arm, or shoulder strain caused by traditional mouse usage.
