Product overviewThe F38 Series trackball is a human-interface device engineered for demanding industrial, marine, military and aerospace environments. The aluminium body provides impact resistance and electrical shielding while high-grade stainless steel shafts and bearings deliver precise pointer control. The HALO illuminated ring around the ball helps locate the device in low-light conditions and is available in multiple colours. Patented anti-vibration technology suppresses cursor motion from external shocks so that only intended ball movements are transmitted to the host.
