Editorial Reviews :
Unlike the mechanical-trackball 'mice of yore' that skip, stick, and need to be cleaned, the Microsoft D68-00007 TrackBall Explorer introduces an entirely new trackball featuring optical sensor technology. Reading through dirt, dust, and fingerprints, the optical sensor tracks the movement of the ball 1,500 times per second, giving you smooth, precise control. The Trackball Explorer comes with two additional buttons located on the side of the device--for a total of five buttons--for moving forward and back quickly in your browser, or you can program them. It also features a wheel for efficient scrolling and zooming and is ergonomically designed to support the natural position of your hand as you use your index finger to control the trackball.
Buyer Reviews :
As an avid computer user, gamer, and professional Web Programmer, I spend a LOT of time on my computer. Over time, I've resorted to Trackballs because of the strain a regular mouse puts on the wrist. I had purchased and fallen in love with my logitech optical trackball, and thought that was the end of it.
However, recently I started working in 'Maya', a 3d graphics rendering program that REQUIRES a 3 button mouse. I was distraught because I loved my optical trackball so much, but it only had two buttons. All the other 3+ button trackballs I could find were not optical, which I had tried before. non-optical mice have a tendancy to force the cursor into perfectly horizontal or vertical motions, and makes fine motion graphics impossible.
As for optical trackballs with more than 3 buttons, most place the ball under the thumb, which is beyond akward to use. So after much searching both online and in stores, I found this mouse.
The price tag made me a little weary at first...not what I'm used to dishing out for something as simple as a mouse. But I decided it was worth giving at least a TRY. so I bought it and took it home.
My machine running XP recognized it without problem, though the extra buttons didn't work right until I installed the software that came with it... To try and do multiple buttons with just the thumb proved impossible.
Overall, I'm glad I took a chance on this mouse, and I'm looking to soon purchase a second one for my work machine. I would highly reccomend this mouse to anyone that needs the multiple buttons on an optical trackball. If you don't, while it is nice, there are less expensive options.
