KEYBOARDS & POINTING DEVICES FOR THE MOST DEMANDING JOBS —Solid state sensing technology – laser tracking engine —Z-axis control wheel for scroll/zoom capability —Removable Ball —38mm or 50 mm ball —Output: PS/2 & USB or Quadrature —Smooth operation in rugged environments —Various top plate configurations available —Custom connector options available —Various ball colours 3-AXIS OEM TRACKBALLMODULES Utilizing the latest and most advanced laser optical tracking technology, the Z- Series laser optical Trackerballs™ are extremely high specification, contact-less devices, ideal for the most demanding of cursor control applications. The device provides both conventional X and Y-axis cursor movement with an additional Z-axis control wheel surrounding the ball. The laser tracking engine provides accurate cursor motion at all speeds and on virtually any ball, combining the benefits of solid state sensing (no moving parts except the ball). The unit has been designed to be back of panel mounted as part of OEM keyboards and consoles.
