ActiveWin -- Microsoft TrackBall Optical

Well we have reached the end of the review. Here are my final comments, notes and grades for Microsoft TrackBall Optical.

The Microsoft TrackBall Optical is a great addition to the vast and astonishing Microsoft hardware family. Microsoft once again (it becomes habit) revolutionized the computing world by revamping the TrackBall concept making this device almost hardwearing. Best of all the enhanced IntelliEye technology is more accurate than ever. 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 only justifies the cost of the purchase, so really you can buy it right now, eyes closed.
