How It Compares

Touchpad modulesThe trackball gives resolution above 10000dpi for fine cursor work that a pad cannot match.
Plastic trackballsThe 304 stainless steel ball and keys with an aluminium back panel form a very rugged vandal proof assembly.
Standard medical miceKY-TB-38-BL is IP65 approved and resistant to dirt, dust and liquid, so it stays in place during cleaning.

Use Guide

  1. Choose the mounting kit for panel installation or the desktop kit for bench use
  2. Machine the fascia to the 83*110 mm front panel with 107*134 mm overall
  3. Connect USB or PS/2 and verify cursor motion in all directions
  4. Keep the supply at 5.0VDC ± 5%
  5. Wipe the ball and panel regularly rather than using solvents
