I found that the middle setting worked best for me. Each time I press the DPI button, a small red LED on top blinks either one, two, or three times to indicate the setting that was chosen. Kensington provides no explanation of this phenomenon. Perhaps there’s something different about the way a trackball works, or perhaps its sensors are not able to measure DPI precisely. Normally when you use a DPI button on a mouse, it switches between exact values.
Kensington trackballworks 1.5 manual#
The manual is rather confusing here, as two of the three settings are not listed as a DPI value but as a range of values: One of the buttons on the left is labeled DPI, and pressing it rotates through three different settings. As I moved the trackball around, the cursor moved on my monitor. As soon as I plugged it in, it began working the Orbit is a plug-and-play gadget. The second step is to plug the wireless adapter, which is USB-A, into my computer. I flipped over the Orbit, popped in the included AA battery, and slid the little button next to it from off to on. The first step is to deal with everything underneath. Kensington could definitely make improvements here.ĭespite the manual, the Orbit is not difficult to setup. As it intermingles multiple languages and uses an excruciatingly small font, it’s not a lot of fun to read. This is where the battery goes, this button sets the DPI, and so on.
It’s merely some pictures and a few words to point out what’s where. I began by reading over the manual, which isn’t really much of a manual. As a whole, this trackball feels very solid and sturdy, like it’s built to last for a while. It’s an ergonomic design, so the entire surface is tilted somewhat to the right, which in turn rotates your wrist when using it. The majority of the Orbit is the base for resting the palm.
On the left are five buttons and on the right is another, far more than the two buttons that the old Orbit had. Surrounding the trackball is the scroll ring, a circular, cog-looking mechanism. The Orbit Fusion is entirely made of a matte black plastic except for the deep red trackball that sits up top.
