description Kensington Orbit Fusion Trackball Overview
Trackballs are an excellent alternative for developers who find wrist movement painful. The Orbit Fusion allows you to move the cursor using the thumb or fingers while keeping your wrist stationary. This drastically reduces strain on the wrist and forearm. It requires practice, but the payoff in reduced physical strain during marathon coding sessions is substantial.
help Kensington Orbit Fusion Trackball FAQ
How does the Kensington Orbit Fusion Trackball move the cursor?
The Orbit Fusion uses a large trackball so the user moves the pointer with the thumb or fingers instead of sliding the whole mouse. This keeps the wrist and forearm relatively stationary on the desk.
Is the Kensington Orbit Fusion wireless?
The Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball is commonly identified by model K72363WW and connects wirelessly through its receiver. Kensington's configuration software is used to customize supported buttons and pointer behavior.
How many buttons does the Orbit Fusion Trackball have?
The Orbit Fusion is designed with 9 programmable buttons, giving it more shortcut capacity than a basic two-button mouse. Those controls can be useful for developers, editors, and users who want application-specific commands.
How long does it take to learn a trackball?
Most users need an adjustment period because cursor movement comes from rotating the ball rather than moving the device. The Orbit Fusion's 40mm ball gives precise control, but fast diagonal movements may feel unfamiliar during the first few days.
