Our Verdict
Logitech MX Master 3
Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball
The Logitech MX Master 3 is a better office mouse than the Kensington Orbit Fusion Wireless Trackball. Both mice are wireless, right-handed mice, but the Logitech is a more conventional optical sensor mouse, while the Kensington is a stationary trackball model. The Logitech is significantly lighter and feels much better built. It also has a separate scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling and two additional buttons. Performance-wise, it has lower click latency, a wider CPI range, and you can adjust the set CPI by increments of 50, while you can only choose between three presets on the Kensington. On the other hand, the Kensington has more side buttons.
