Our Verdict
ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK
Kensington Orbit Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring
The Kensington Orbit Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring and the ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK are wireless trackball mice that perform similarly. The Kensington has an additional CPI preset, Bluetooth support, and a removable wrist rest. It also has a free-spinning scroll ring, while the ELECOM has a more conventional notched scroll wheel. On the other hand, the ELECOM feels sturdier and has both a thumb and pinky rest as well as an integrated cushioned palm rest. It also has six additional buttons, lower click latency, and its scroll wheel has L/R tilt inputs for horizontal scrolling.
