Excellent Smooth Ball, But That's It
By Eric M Reeves
I've recently made the decision to begin using a trackball at work, mostly due to comfort reasons. I'm very attracted to the idea of not having to move my whole forearm around just to move the mouse pointer. I have evaluated 3 trackballs so far, one of them being the Kensington Expert Mouse Pro (the other 2 being the Microsoft Trackball Explorer and the Kensington TurboRing). The winner was the TurboRing in my book, but here are my thoughts on the Expert Mouse Pro.
The ball is excellent. It is by far the smoothest, nicest feeling ball out of any of the trackballs I've tried. My big complaint is that it is not NEARLY as comfortable as the TurboRing, and that the scroll wheel is in the worst location I could possibly dream of for it. If the scroll wheel were located directly to the right (and left, to keep it symmetric) of the track ball, then it would be a MUCH nicer device. But the way it is currently laid out, you've got to lift your hand and reach above the ball to hit it, which is rather ridiculous. If Kensington would put the metal rollers from the Expert Mouse Pro in to the TurboRing, it would be hands-down the ultimate trackball IMO. But for my purposes, the TurboRing still won strictly because of it's extremely logical layout, and superior ergonomics. It's definitely the most comfortable pointing device I've ever used.

Great trackball for the computer
By David T. Wang
I know many people prefer either a mouse or a trackball. Sometimes both. This review is mainly helpful for those accustomed to the trackball especially the older Expert Mouse Trackball (K64215).
I recently bought this trackball for use on my G4 Macintosh at work. Since the trackball is USB-ready, there is no need for an adapter. The Expert Mouse Pro is just a larger version of the older model with many, newly added features.
The six buttons at the top act as shortcuts linking you to files, applications, and/or websites. This is extremely handy. Adding and editing these features is easily done through the control panel for the Expert Mouse Pro. The location of the buttons is a bit awkward because you have to move your hand up from your working position to push the buttons. The scroll knob is handy for moving up and down the window. My only problem with the scrollling knob is that the trackball just below it makes it hard for you to access it since it elevates your hand a bit too high.
The trackball, itself, glides without any problems. It's smooth and responsive. The color of the device (grey) may not be to some people's liking. The large size and shape of the Expert Mouse Pro may not appeal to those who like small, more aerodynamical input devices.
Overall, this is a wonderful device that is not without its own minor flaws. But if you are willing to overlook those details, the Expert Mouse Pro is a great input device for your computer.

Extremely functional
By Nelson Cheng
While I don't use any of the buttons except for the bottom two (which are the typical right/left buttons on a mouse), I find this mouse to be extremely useful. First, it's a trackball mouse. I personally find regular mice to be hard on my wrists (and somewhat annoying over time as the mouse become less sensitive.) Second, this mouse can be adjusted so that it is not only extremely sensitive, but also useable. Although every mouse can be set so the cursor flies across the screen, this mouse can be finely set so that you not only have an extremely fast mouse, but also one that is manageable in terms of stopping the cursor. All in all, I find this to be the most functional mouse (in terms of speed and positioning of the cursor) that I have ever used. The biggest downside is that it is quite large.
