Our Verdict
GLORIOUS Model D
Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball
The GLORIOUS Model D is an excellent wired gaming mouse, while the Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball is a good stationary trackball mouse designed with office work in mind. The GLORIOUS is much lighter and has significantly lower click latency, a higher maximum polling rate, and a wider CPI range, making it a much better choice for gaming. On the other hand, the Kensington connects wirelessly with its USB receiver and has both a thumb and pinky rest. It also has three additional side buttons and a free-scrolling scroll ring around the trackball instead of a more conventional scroll wheel.
