Our Verdict

Logitech MX ERGO

Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball

The Logitech MX ERGO and the Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball are wireless trackball mice with similar shapes. They're both intended for office and productivity work, but the Logitech has better performance overall. The Logitech feels much better built and has a more consistent sensor. You can also adjust the set CPI by steps of 100 within a narrow range, while the Kensington only has three CPI presets. On the other hand, the Kensington has more side buttons and a top-mounted trackball, which may be more comfortable for some.
