Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball

Excellent
Kensington has released their second completely new trackball this year, the Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball. This is a clear competitor for the popular Elecom models. The Kensington sets itself apart with its large scroll ring, larger ball and comfortable ergonomic body shape. Wireless via a 2.4GHz USB Dongle, it also comes with USB A to USB C adapter.

Elecom DEFT PRO M-DPT1MRXBK Trackball

Excellent
The Elecom DEFT PRO is the first trackball to offer three connection types in one device: a wireless connection via Bluetooth or a wireless connection via a 2.4 GHz USB dongle, and thirdly a wired connection via a USB cable. A good update from the regular DEFT model, this is a great new option for smaller finger-operated trackballs.

Logitech MX ERGO Wireless Trackball

Outstanding Editors Choice
Great to see that Logitech still believes in trackballs! Logitech is back with this brand new and unique Logitech MX Ergo trackball: an ergonomic combination of Trackball Mouse and a Vertical Mouse. At $99 (or €109) it is not cheap, but it features wireless (Bluetooth!) connection, 8 button functions, state-of-the-art vertical tilt design that aims to relieve wrist pain, and 8 buttons. This is the ultimate thumb-operated trackball!

Elecom M-XT3DRBK Wireless Trackball

A very slick and versatile thumb-operated trackball from Japanese brand Elecom. It has a lot of buttons, 4D scrollwheel and DPI switch. I’m currently using this latest Elecom trackball and will let you know how good it is. Some users recommend to switch the Elecom ball for the blue Logitech M570 ball for more accuracy, I will test this as well. Stay tuned for the full review!

Not Rated
If you are travelling and still want that trackball comfort, maybe the Kensington Orbit Wireless Mobile is a good choice. Wireless, small and it doesn’t move (like all trackballs actually) this is a great companion for people that often set up their laptop on a small Starbucks table.

Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball

Very Good Best Seller
The Logitech M570 Wireless trackball is sexy, smooth and smart. The M570 features a wireless connection, thumb-operated scrollwheel and 5 buttons including Back/Forward. The design might be a bit small for large hands, but overall, this is a very good trackball and currently the best selling trackball.

Logitech Cordless Optical TrackMan

Very Good
The Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman is a strange beast, a one-eyed beetle from outer space that could scurry away from your desk any moment. Once you realise that it is just patiently waiting for your orders, you put your palm on the extra smooth surface (it’s really nice and soft) and discover that this serious trackball means business.

Very Good
Logitech recently replaced this Cordless Trackman Wheel with the new wireless M570, and is currently only available in eBay. The Cordless Trackman Wheel is slightly bigger than the M570 and has only two buttons.

Speedlink Aptico Wireless Trackball

Very Good
The Speedlink Aptico SL-630001-BK is a very good thumb-operated wireless trackball: similar to the best selling trackball Logitech M570 (which can be seen as one of its direct competitors) but with a better build quality, easily accessible DPI selection button, and its secret weapon, the more versatile and solid scroll ‘4D’ scroll wheel.
