The Kensington SlimBlade Bluetooth Trackball Mouse is at the top of this group, it is wireless, battery driven by two AA batteries with up to a six month life span and the ability to warn you when the batteries are low. This mouse is responsive and easy to handle. You never have to worry about turning it off, as it goes to sleep when your computer does.

The SCT Micro Trac 600 has three programmable buttons located on the top. The miniature track ball is centrally located. This trackball is a good replacement for your touchpad and uses the PS/2 port or serial interface port on your computer.

A new and interesting contestant in the mini trackball field is the finger mouse. This mouse literally fits over your index finger, the track ball is controlled by your thumb, as are the two buttons, the enter button is a trigger button located inside the finger hole, triggered by your index finger. This would work great in a situation like being in a plane or other tight quarters. It is currently corded so that would be a feature to look forward to.

Logitech has long been a leader in the field of computer mice. They have been in this market since the beginning with the ever simple roller ball mouse corded to the computer. They are still well embedded in the market with their current crop of mice. These range anywhere from a simple mouse of low cost all the way up to cutting edge track and optical mice when precision, durability and comfort are important. Logitech has been in the business a long time and you can be assured they will be around in the future.

Microsoft also has a large part of the mouse market, they have a wide range of mice from the simple, inexpensive track mouse all the way up to their premier optical track mouse that scans at a blazing 1500 scans per second. Comfort is always built into their upper end trackball mouse, as is speed, accuracy, durability and compatibility. You can’t go wrong choosing a trackball mouse by Microsoft.
