Our Verdict

Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball

Kensington Orbit Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring

The Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball and the Kensington Orbit Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring are two wireless trackball mice designed for office and productivity uses. They perform very similarly but have some key differences. Orbit Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring has an ambidextrous shape with a detachable wrist rest, and it's Bluetooth compatible. On the other hand, the Orbit Fusion has an ergonomic right-handed shape and has more buttons and programmable inputs.
