hi Dave Taylor here again and this time
0:07
I'm looking at the Kensington expert
0:09
mouse that's this guy and you're looking
0:11
at a new thing it's not a mouse it's
0:14
you're right it's trackball but whatever
0:17
you call it this is the coolest way to
0:19
interact with your computer whether
0:21
you're on a Mac or a PC now this is the
0:24
Dell XPS 13 it's PC running Windows all
0:27
that sort of stuff here's the thing is
0:29
that the Kensington actually works with
0:31
either Bluetooth or it has its own
0:33
little USB communication system so I'll
0:36
pop this out this little tiny guy here's
0:40
a close-up this is the receiver and we
0:43
really can't get much smaller and when
0:45
you actually get the mouse plug that in
0:48
make sure on the bottom of this it's
0:50
switched over to USB and it's switched
0:54
to on and boom you're moving this and
0:57
you're ready to rock and roll
0:58
no drivers no nothing it's super fast
1:01
and super easy now if you want there's a
1:04
really nice piece of software called
1:06
trackball Works and here's an example of
1:08
what you're looking at on a PC side so
1:11
you can see there are the four buttons
1:13
on the trackball itself and there's also
1:18
combinations of buttons and there's also
1:21
if you can see here the actual outside
1:24
swirl so could you see what's going on
1:25
on the computer screen yeah it's a
1:27
scroll mechanism not hugely enamored of
1:31
that but having the wireless trackball
1:35
that lets me very quickly and easily
1:37
move around and click on things super
1:40
nice it really makes particularly
1:42
working with smaller computers way the
1:44
heck easier so let's get into some specs
1:47
it's using bluetooth 4.0 LE which is low
1:51
energy so probably your computer already
1:53
supports that USB it has its own
1:56
mechanism and here's what's kind of cute
1:59
is that the little space for the
2:01
batteries is there's actually a little
2:03
holder there so if you are going to use
2:05
this for Bluetooth you can actually put
2:07
this little geegaw in here and
2:10
lose it so I really like that they were
2:12
thinking that through cuz as soon as I
2:15
saw that I thought that is gonna last
2:17
about a day in my office and it's gonna
2:18
get vanish it's gonna be gone so the
2:21
trackball works software is Mac or PC
2:23
you know get the right version install
2:26
it hook it up and you should be golden
2:28
to do whatever you want and then let's
2:30
get into some names because I gotta say
2:32
the Kensington people I think they've
2:34
watched a lot of James Bond so this has
2:37
what they call the diamond I optical
2:41
tracking system diamond die okay so Mr
2:45
Bond this turns out to be a very precise
2:48
trackball and then the scroll ring has
2:51
it's a quick scanning system so they're
2:54
very precise nice nice nice it's a
2:58
really nice addition to any computer and
3:00
I know laptops all self-contained little
3:03
trackpad and stuff it's really an
3:05
amazing experience to suddenly use one
3:08
of these and I'm finding that I really
3:11
love it on my back on my pcs it really
3:15
makes it much more pleasant to work with
3:16
really at a surprising amount how much
3:19
more pleasant it is so how much is this
3:22
guy it's gonna run you 99 bucks so
3:24
pretty painless ninety-nine bucks you
3:27
can find out more about this this is the
3:29
Kensington expert mouse and you can get
3:33
it at Kensington comm this is Dave
3:35
Taylor and I'll catch you in my next
