How do I Scroll With a Kensington Orbital Trackball?
The Kensington Orbit Trackball allows for customized cursor control and user-specified scrolling. A trackball differs from a mouse in that it requires less wrist movement and ultimately provides a more comfortable experience for the consumer. The Kensington Orbit Trackball is both PC and Mac compatible. In addition, the company provides free downloadable software for its customers which can be used to optimize the trackball functions, including setting the scrolling speed and direction.
