Kensington Unveils Slick New Trackball Mouse

Friday April 10, 2009

Remember those giant trackball mice that resembled a cue ball on a stand? Turns out they're not so forgotten as once thought. Kensington has a new trackball mouse, called the SlimBlade, that is super sleek, featuring a glossy red trackball nestled in an extra-thin silver encasement.

For my money, it's the most attractive looking trackball I've ever seen -- though that admittedly isn't saying much when it comes to the awkward looking accessories. It comes with four buttons and a software package that lets you know on-screen what mode you're using the mouse in. Choose between media control, view control, and cursor modes.

Visit Kensington's SlimBlade trackball mouse's very own website for the full skinny on making the old new again (not to mention to take a look at the beautiful thing).
