Compatible with Windows and macOS, the Pro Fit Ergo TB450 and
TB550 Trackballs combine the feel of a wireless mouse with the
convenience and accuracy of an advanced trackball. The ergonomic
design was derived from a clay sculpture to perfectly fit the
contour and natural angle of the human hand, placing the hand in a
natural vertical position to improve wrist and forearm alignment
for all-day comfort and optimal function.
The Pro Fit Ergo TB450 Trackball (K72194WW; $49.99 MSRP)
features five programmable buttons, and provides the familiar left
click, right click, and scroll wheel of a traditional mouse to ease
the transition to the trackball. The energy-efficient wireless
trackball provides long battery life of up to 18 months using
2.4GHz or up to 15 months when using Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE)
connectivity.
The Pro Fit Ergo TB550 Trackball (K72196WW; $69.99 MSRP) offers
seven programmable buttons and adds an enhanced, customizable 4D
scroll wheel that provides intuitive four-direction scrolling;
scroll left, right, up, and down, to provide a comfortable user
experience. The rechargeable battery provides up to four months of
battery life with a single charge.
Benefits and features of the Pro Fit Ergo Trackballs
include:
- Precise, Accurate Cursor Control – The high-quality
tracking sensor, 34mm thumb-operated trackball, and multiple DPI
switch (400, 800, 1200, 1600 dpi), combine to provide smooth cursor
control, optimal precision, and easy cursor speed transitions to
maximize productivity.
- Flexible Wireless Connection – The Pro Fit Ergo
Trackball is capable of connecting to up to three devices via the
2.4GHz or Bluetooth®, and allows users to easily switch between
devices with the push of a button. Government-grade 128-bit AES
encryption provides enhanced security to stop hackers from
monitoring wireless connections and obtaining sensitive
information.
- Customization – Both trackballs can be used as
plug-and-play devices, or can be used with the feature-rich
KensingtonWorks™ software for professional customization and
superior productivity. KensingtonWorks enables users to customize
the functions of each of the trackball buttons, and adjust the
pointer speed and acceleration.
- Easy to Clean – Both models feature a unique design that
incorporates a built-in, patented, trackball ejection button to
effortlessly remove the trackball for cleaning.
- Sustainable Manufacturing Process – To reduce the impact
of plastic on the global environment, the trackballs are made with
GRS-certified 70% post-consumer recycled ABS, and at least 50% of
the overall plastic used is recycled plastic.
“While the ergonomic and space-saving benefits of using
trackballs are well-documented, the unique form factors and
comparatively higher price points of trackballs, can be
intimidating for users who are accustomed to using a traditional
computer mouse,” explained Lisa Schuiteboer-Shuler, Global
Marketing, Manager, Product Marketing at Kensington. “These new
trackballs provide users with an affordable solution that features
a familiar mouse-like look and feel to enable a seamless migration
for experiencing the many benefits of trackball technology.”
