Most of them have names that are not recognizable and their prices reflect the quality of the product. This can be a buyer beware market as it is cutting edge technology that lends itself well to the laptop community that is currently growing much faster than the desktop community.

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.

This mouse is incredibly thin and can fit where most track mice can’t. If you’ve ever tried to use your laptop computer on an airplane with the fold down table, you can understand your limitations. A regular mouse isn’t even an option unless you can talk the person next to you into dropping down their table too. You may even have to do that with a regular sized trackball mouse, but not with the SlimBlade. This mouse can fit into the tightest of spots. It is precise in its movement and intuitive in its scrolling functions.

With its Bluetooth wireless technology, you leave your USB ports open to any other devices you may want to connect. You also have the benefit of not having a wire to worry about controlling.

This mouse is powered by two double A batteries that can have up to six months of working life. The mouse has the capability of telling you when the batteries are running low via a little indicator light. You never have to worry about turning off your mouse because when your computer goes into its sleep mode, your mouse follows suit.
