Optical trackball R38 series

desktop38 mmUSB

Product description
The R38 desktop trackball module is an ambidextrous, high‑specification unit that combines patented infra‑red optical trackball technology with a capacitive Z‑axis scrolling ring to provide both vertical and horizontal scrolling. The module integrates left, middle and right buttons plus forward and backward switches, and a resolution button offering five selectable configurations with high/low toggle modes. A dedicated control switches handedness between left‑ and right‑hand operation. The solid‑state top prevents dust ingress and simplifies cleaning of the trackball area when the ball is removed. Designed as a freestanding desktop device, the R38 optimises desk space compared with a conventional mouse.
