About this deal

The only thing I really don't like about the Orbit Wireless is the same thing I don't like on the regular Orbit. The included wrist rest is a nice touch and it's useful, but it's also not very good. Personally, I prefer not using it anyway, as the position of my hand feels better, but the point is more that it's just not very good. It sort of clips to the lower portion of the Orbit Wireless except it doesn't really. The unique finger-operated scroll ring provides a more precise, intuitive and comfortable scrolling experience Easily adjust the cursor speed to fit your needs by selecting the appropriate DPI level (400/400-800/800-1500) – lower DPI for precision editing and higher DPI for word processing or casual browsing. Another factor to consider is the connection of your mouse. These days, most mice on the market will have a wireless option. Using a USB port or Bluetooth connection, you won’t need to worry about wires getting tangled or clogging up your desk. Holding the Orbit Fusion, it feels nice and solid. Nothing too spectacular, but it’s well made, nice matte plastic, with some sharper edges and smooth palm shape.

Compare the ball size of the Kensington Pro Fit Ergo (left), Kensington Orbit Fusion (middle) and the Kensington Expert Wireless (right) The mouse features a rechargeable battery that has an insane life! Expect up to 70 days of battery life on just one single charge which is great for those who will take the mouse to work, school, or travel with it, and running out of battery will be the last thing on your mind! It takes AA batteries too, which are widely available and affordable to replace. If you have large hands, and are willing to spend a more, I would look at the Kensington Expert / Kensington Expert Wireless (a classic), or the CST (my current personal favorite, but expensive and not many buttons). This option is also an excellent choice for both gaming and work. You can use the mouse across two computers for seamless navigation when using Logitech’s flow feature. This allows you to copy and paste images, text, and files from one screen or computer to another.Underneath it has great anti-slip rubber strips, a hole to punch out the ball, the battery compartment, ON/OFF button and a place to store the USB 2.4GHz nano receiver when you’re traveling. The size and shape is comparable to the latest popular Elecom models, especially the DEFT PRO. Slightly bigger than a computer mouse, but much smaller than the large Kensington Expert or SlimBlade, CST or Elecom HUGE.

All-day comfort is provided through a sculpted mouse-like design to improve palm, wrist, forearm and shoulder position with less hand movement One of the closest competitors actually comes from Kensington, and that's of course the regular Orbit. Aside from having a cable and no DPI switch, it's basically the exact same product but costing less. If you're on a tighter budget or aren't bothered about going wire-free, it's a solid alternative. The first time I bought a replacement, but when it happened again, I called Kensington to ask about this problem and alert them to the fact that there was a problem. They denied that there was a problem and told me point blank that I was the first and only one to have complained.You have the choice between a wired and wireless mouse with the Kensignton Expert. You can connect your mouse with Bluetooth to save a USB port or use the nano receiver for fantastic connectivity. Four DPI settings let you easily adjust the cursor speed to fit your needs by selecting the appropriate level (400, 800, 1,200 or 1,600) - lower DPI for precision editing, and higher DPI for word processing or casual browsing.

New to the Orbit Wireless over the regular Orbit is an integrated DPI switch (four stages from 400-1600 DPI) on the bottom, right next to the switch to go between 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth. You also find the battery door underneath because the Orbit Wireless takes regular old AA batteries. I don't mind this, though some might because as a parent I have an endless supply of AAs ready to pop in at short notice. But you're not likely to be swapping them very often, anyway.
