trackball won't open files

Technically this doesn't qualify as a question, but I guess you're basically asking how to resolve this issue you're having. Although I didn't notice that issue with mine, I did notice a huge lack of precision with this product. I also noticed it wasn't optical, but used old-school X and Y rollers to move the cursor, which eventually get dirty causing a loss of precision. Since I had purchased it with gaming in mind, and couldn't tolerate this precision issue, I junked it and went with a competing product. Because this issue took a while to reveal itself, by the time I realized it wasn't going to work, it was too late to send it back for a refund.

What are the dimensions of the mouse, HxWxL

3x6.5x7 Great item....when the first one wore out we got another !!

Is it possible to purchase replaceable balls?

I have never tried that. We have purchased 3 or 4 throughout the years but the unit can definitely withstand a beating!! we now use a touch screen PC.

Got trackball today-works fine on pc but on mac pro can't open directories or files by clicking or double clicking either button-why?

Hello We found a possible issue using a USB hub. We recommend connecting to the Mac directly and restarting the computer. We also recommend updating the Mac OS to a higher level such as 10.13.4 (High Serria) or Mojave 10.14

Great for ASD kiddo

We bought this for my son with fine motor problems because he is doing online schooling now instead of brick and mortar. This has been so great for him. Drag and drop has always been a struggle so much so that I end up having to sit and do it for him. With this mouse he can do all of his work independently. I'm so beyond impressed with the mouse, the quality and the accessibility it offers. Thank you!

Great for the elderly

My mother is 87yo and has light tremors. Using a regular optical mouse was hard to control. The trackball is much easier for her as are the large right and left mouse buttons. It's slower to use than a standard mouse but she's not fast on the computer anyway so accuracy and reduced frustration win out! Well worth it! Durability I put 4 stars. We haven't had it that long but it seems well built not cheap.

I would highly recommend this for anyone who has issues with fine motor ...

I purchased this for my 86 yr old father who suffers from essential tremor. He was struggling with a regular mouse and was ready to give up on the computer all together. We set up the BigTrack ball and it has made an incredible difference. It stays in place and allows him to move the cursor to where he needs it before pressing one of the buttons (right or left click) at the top. It eliminates the erratic movements and helped Dad regain his confidence in using the computer. I would highly recommend this for anyone who has issues with fine motor skills. My only suggestion to improve, like many other reviewers, would be to make it less childish looking.
