The Microsoft TrackBall Explorer is a great addition to the Microsoft mice family. It’s a top-notch model that features a cool silver design. If the way of controlling the ball using index and other fingers isn’t revolutionary the inclusion of the IntelliEye technology is. Best of all the enhanced IntelliEye technology is more accurate than ever ensuring high precision touch-ups for use in PhotoShop, for example. If that wasn't enough, the new programmable buttons make surfing the 'Net and completing redundant tasks much easier. This new TrackBall is worth the buy and its great software justifies the cost of the purchase, so really you can buy it right now, eyes closed. Compared to the TrackBall Optical the surface of the Explorer is more opulent, the ball control concept is more accurate while the rubbers located on the base don’t smell.
