Our Verdict

Kensington SlimBlade Trackball

ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK

The ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK is a better stationary trackball mouse than the Kensington SlimBlade Trackball. The ELECOM connects wirelessly with a USB receiver and feels sturdier. It has a thumb and pinky rest and an integrated cushion on the palm area. It also has three CPI presets, six additional buttons, and a conventional scroll wheel with L/R tilt inputs. On the other hand, the Kensington connects with a braided USB cable has a free-scrolling scroll ring.
