What Else to Consider
At $95.00, the Kensington Expert Wireless Trackball Mouse sits well above the $54.12 category average. 40 options are cheaper and 6 are more expensive.
The category leader is the Logitech Ergo M575 Trackball for Business ($44.99, 4.6★, 13,843 reviews). It's $50.01 more expensive than the top pick despite ranking lower, which is a hard combination to justify unless a specific feature swings the decision.
Cheaper alternatives worth a look:
- Logitech Ergo M575 Trackball for Business - $44.99, 4.6★ (13,843 reviews) · Better on both axes
- Logitech M575 Wireless Trackball Mouse - $40.49, 4.6★ (6,783 reviews) · Better on both axes

If rating alone is your filter, the highest-rated option in this category is the Logitech MX Ergo S Wireless Trackball (Renewed) at 5.0★. If pure price is the filter, the cheapest is the J-Tech Digital Wireless Trackball Mouse at $19.99.
Who Should Get This
Maybe. Middle-of-the-pack on rating and price, no standout strengths. If a specific feature matches your need (look at the spec list), it's reasonable. Otherwise the top picks are safer bets.
The Verdict
7.4/10
Below-average rating in a category with several stronger options. Hard to recommend over higher-ranked alternatives unless a specific feature seals it.
