What I miss in the TrackballWorks configuration utility is the ability to configure different functions for the buttons based on what application has the focus. Large 55mm trackball lets you scroll up and down web pages and documents with quick precision via a simple twist.

First of all it takes a bit more effort of the fingers to scroll this way, compared to a scrollwheel or scrollring, because you have to use two fingers moving in opposite direction, or use one finger to hold the axis and the other to turn it.

I’m still undecided on whether I prefer the Slimblade over the Logitech M570, but I’m attempting to give it a fair try. On the left side of the Kensington SlimBlade Pro Trackball, we find the sliding button that selects the connection mode. I bought "Kensington Slimblade Pro" 5 weeks back and decided to post some feedback, hopefully what I have faced and how I fixed it will help someone else. connection versus the Bluetooth is that you will need to use one USB port on your computer for the USB Dongle receiver. I tried to google it and all I get is new and regular mainstream models… I would really like to make my office co-workers stare at my desktop every time they pass 😀 I’m a Sci-Fi fan, and this look the most affordable solution to make myself stand out of the ordinary!

During the scrolling the trackball locks down all other movement, and trackball doesn’t jump between scrolling and moving the cursor. The Kensington SlimBlade feels very comfortable to use, and its ambidextrous design means it's suitable for both left- and right-handed users. Thanks to Kensington for sending me this Kensington SlimBlade Pro Trackball in advance so I was able to use it for a few months before the launch on 29 November 2022. The SlimBlade Keyboard and Numpad are not sold anymore by Kensington, but the Wired original SlimBlade still has those features. The USB-C to USB-A charging cable itself is a very nice, nylon braided cable, just like the original SlimBlade.

Turn it to the right to scroll down, and turn it to the left to scroll up (although you can change this in the TrackballWorks settings if you like).
