| | ActiveWin: Microsoft TrackBall Explorer - Review |
| | The TrackBall concept basis is to provide users with a fixed pointing device that they don’t need to move so they can save space on their desk. | | | IntelliEye replaces the moving parts inside the trackball with a tiny optical sensor that will analyse the nice ball movements so you won’t need to move the device: it's a stationary pointing device. | | | The completely digital design of Microsoft IntelliEye means the trackball will remain as responsive and accurate as it was the day it was purchased. |

| | With a trackball, your arm never moves, so as long as you sit with a good posture there are less health risks associated with using a computer. | | | For the same reason, trackballs haven’t been very popular on the desktop either, and the dominance of the mouse will dissuade most people from even considering using a trackball. | | | However, with the newer version of the Trackball Optical I received, a sticker on the box proudly proclaims it to have “Improved optical technology! |

| | Mice tend to dominate when it comes to controlling your computer's cursor, but one device that shouldn't be overlooked is the trackball. | | | While existing mechanical trackballs have many moving parts to break and wear out, IntelliEye optical technology has one sensor and none of the traditional moving parts, so it won't wear out or degrade over time. | | | They've been around for years, but recently have had a new lease of life thanks to various improvements being made This model is no exception, with Microsoft having crammed all the latest technology possible into the Trackball Optical. |

The Logitech device was several years old and had been used a lot, so I thought it might well need replacement. | | | Over a period of several weeks I noticed the trackball was getting balkier, making it harder and harder to drag the cursor into position. |
