2.0 out of 5 stars Go for the turbo mouse, November 25, 2000

By	D. AYER (boston) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you don't really care about precision don't bother reading. The Turbo Mouse, despite its name, is another kensington trackball. It's not as pretty as the orbit (just gray) but it is far superior to ANY trackball on the market and it has 4 buttons. After having to leave my old Turbo Mouse with a former employer I tried several cheaper substitutes (FYI: Macally products are nearly useless) but ended up spending the loot on the Turbo Mouse. Check it out...take apart your trackball and look at the guts. The ball rests on low friction surfaces right? Look closely now, they may try to fool you. The turbo mouse is the only trackball I've found that rolls on bearings. Smoother than a baby's...uh....frictionless surfaces. Oh... don't even get me started on optical trackballs...have you ever tried to use PhotoShop with an optical trackball? It's like painting with mud. But if you just use Word and EMail ignore me...don

4.0 out of 5 stars A Reply to the previous critic, Frances, May 4, 2000

By	Noah Sachs (Beverly, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

Do no listen to Frances. This trackball rules! He is unaware that he does not need the extra software to adjust the speed of the trackball. He simply needs to go to the control panel and adjust the mouse sensitivity as he would with any other mouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Orbit a joy to use., January 26, 2000

By	J. Mitchell (Chico CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Orbit is easy to install. Very fast and smooth operation. My five year old daughter much prefers it to a mouse for her games and such. Its clicks and speed of movement are entirely adjustable. With a half an inch of finger only movement, your cursor has moved thirteen inches across the screen. It takes two inches of wrist movement to do this with a mouse. The Orbit isn't perfect. It's actually too fast for some games where you need the drag of the mouse for control. Use both. Keep the mouse connected and plug the Orbit into a serial port. Works great!
