Slightly bigger than a computer mouse, but much smaller than the large Kensington Expert or SlimBlade, CST or Elecom HUGE.Ĭompare size of the Kensington Orbit with Scroll Ring (grey and white version (top), Kensington Pro Ergo (left), Kensington Orbit Fusion (middle) and the Kensington Expert Wireless (right). The size and shape is comparable to the latest popular Elecom models, especially the DEFT PRO. Underneath it has great anti-slip rubber strips, a hole to punch out the ball, the battery compartment, ON/OFF button and a place to store the USB 2.4GHz nano receiver when you’re traveling. Nothing too spectacular, but it’s well made, nice matte plastic, with some sharper edges and smooth palm shape. Holding the Orbit Fusion, it feels nice and solid. Or people like me, who are running out of USB-A ports on an iMac, and can use one of the USB-C ports with this adapter. A much appreciated extra accessory, useful for people with the latest MacBooks.
