Hard Travel Case for Kensington Expert Wireless/Wired Trackball Mouse K72359WW / K64325

There is a small learning curve when you first install this trackball in place of your mouse. But it really is many times better than any other pointing device. This avoids all sorts of problems later with carpal tunnel or tendonitis. It is not just comfortable but fun and therapeutic. This should be the top rated pointing device of all time.

I have a history of RSI issues, largely from overuse of electronics. Years ago, I discovered trackballs, and they certainly do help (if just because using them uses different muscles than mice and touch screens), and the Kensington Expert Mouse is the trackball I find myself returning to. Before the pandemic, I was in an office where my desk had a key, so I kept a trackball in my desk and would get it out when I arrived at work. When the pandemic started, I worked from home and could use an Expert Mouse without any problem. But now that I’m back in the office part time and the building doesn’t have sufficient locker space, I have to transport my Expert Mouse back and forth and needed a protective case.I bought this case, and it’s a great hard case for the Expert Mouse. It is specifically made for the Expert Mouse, so you definitely get a great fit. My one long term concern is cable stress on my wired model, which wouldn’t be an issue at all with the Wireless Expert Mouse. I worry a little about the stress I’m putting on the cable near the base of it. It makes me wish Kensington had an Expert Mouse Pro similar to the Slimblade Pro that has a detachable cable and can operate wirelessly or via cable.

I commute 3 days a week and needed a case to carry my trackball back and forth. This case works great, fits perfectly, just what I needed.

Although this case is pricey, it’s well made and a perfect fit for the trackball and the wrist rest attachment. If you ever carry the trackball anywhere, you risk the ball falling out (they are not locked in – big complaint!). Kensington will not sell a replacement ball if you damage yours by dropping it. You will have to buy a whole new unit, or live with a skipping unit which will eventually break. If you do precise work, that could make it very frustrating to do your work. Be forewarned!!! Take the ball out carefully before replacing a battery.

I was worried if a Slimblade Pro would fit in this case and it perfectly does. The ball is kept in place and ample room if you want to store cable and adapter.
