#KENSINGTONWORKS LINUX UPDATE#

Be sure to update your KensingtonWorks if you have an older version installed, so that the Orbit Fusion shows up. The speed of the scrolling can be set in the latest Kensington Works software. It does make some noise, but hey, if you want a completely silent scrolling, there’s the CST2545 (currently named the X-keys L-Trac), which has a super smooth and silent scroll wheel. The scrolling is smooth like the Expert or Orbit With Scroll Ring, and it doesn’t ‘click’. The ring has a rubber outer ring with deep grooves for perfect grip and easy control. The Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball has a large scroll ring and 6 customizable buttons It feels smooth and is very easy to move with the ring finger. I’m a big fan of a scroll ring compared to the small scroll wheels, so I’m very happy with this feature and it doesn’t disappoint. The ring is quite big and high, and on an angle.

It’s not a very original or unique color combination – remember the old blue and silver Turbo Ring, or the current basic Orbit model, or last year’s white Kensington Orbit (how cool was THAT color combo!). The device has a 40mm ball, in the color red, a popular color combination, similar to the wireless Expert, SlimBlade, small Orbit and the latest Elecom trackballs. I use the middle bottom part of my fingers to move the ball I can work with this Orbit Fusion quite well, although I do find it easier to move the ball with the middle of my fingers, not my finger tips. I prefer the bigger devices as I have large hands. This is a finger operated trackball, and I do love those, more than the thumb-operated trackballs (that is a personal preference), and I quickly found my way with this trackball.
