Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Keris Wireless

Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball

The ASUS ROG Keris Wireless is a great wireless gaming mouse, while the Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball is a good stationary trackball mouse designed for office work. The ASUS is hugely more lightweight and feels much sturdier. It also has much lower click latency and a higher performance sensor. On the other hand, the Kensington has a more ergonomic shape with a thumb and pinky rest. It also has three additional side buttons and a scroll ring around the trackball instead of a more conventional scroll wheel.
