Question 1

Do you have to put too much force on the left button while dragging? Do you have to put your hand in a awkward position to do it?

Accepted Answer

Hi,  It's more in the pressure it takes to click the button (switch), Most of my mouses and trackballs have hair pin buttons meaning it doesn't take much pressure or finger muscles to click.  This one is pronounced, it takes more pressure which over the period of time this adds up.  I would send it back if it wasn't more trouble than it was worth to do so.   I got it so I could train my left hand to use it.   It sits in the closet now.

Question 2

How do the buttons feel when clicked? Are they too stiff? Do your thumb gets tired after a long period of use?

Accepted Answer

I was previously using a Logitech Marble Mouse trackball which has a much lighter click action than this unit. The overly heavy button springs are my only complaint with the Kensington.  My thumb has gotten stronger in the time I have been using it, but long periods of game play do make it quite sore. In conclusion, I like the Logitech for game play and the Kensington for web browsing.  Older users will have more trouble adjusting than younger ones.

Question 3

Does it have a scroll click (middle click)?

Accepted Answer

With 💩KensingtonWorks 3.1.2 for Windows 10, in Firefox, "Middle Click" does not work for ...
- "Right Mouse Button" with "Alt", "Shift", "Ctrl";
- "Left Mouse Button" with "Alt", "Shift";
- Assigning both button being clicked to be recognized as "Middle Click" is a game of chance.

"Ctrl" + "Left Mouse Button" works as "Middle Click" without help "KensingtonWorks" software

Question 4

How long is the cord on the Kensington Orbit Trackball?

Accepted Answer

I did not measure it, but my guess is that it is around four feet long. I got the trackball for health reasons (wrist, carpal tunnel issues). So I had never even taken the plastic twist off the trackball until you asked the question.
