Title: Is Slimblade suitable for small hands?
Post by: chief on Sun, 23 September 2012, 13:51:57

Does anyone kniw if the kensington slimblade suitable for those with small hands.  I was tempted in getting the CST trackball but reckon the scrolling will be too much of a pain with my small hands. 

I was wondering if anyone with small hands has any issues with the slimblade or if they don't whether their partners have issues.

Thanks

I've got pretty small hands and didn't like the CST because of the scroll bar's position, which is too far to reach relative to where the ball itself is. I quite enjoy the slimblade though, and would recommend it. You can see a little comparison here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=b6BhNqCgG-E#t=342s
