Overview
Whether it's scrolling down your favourite blog, 'jogging' through video footage like a pro, or zooming another world in a game, the Orbita Mouse will revolutionize your experience.
Push, squeeze and spin your way to a better navigation experience with the innovative new Orbita Mouse. By rethinking the scroll wheel we've been able to ease strain on your hand and give you scrolling control that other mice lack.
The Orbita Mouse works on the desktop or a mouse pad just like a normal mouse, except that you can spin it and use it at any angle. Simply spin the Orbita to scroll, jog or rotate objects.
How it works
Orientation
The smart Orbita incorporates in-built electronic compass technology so it always knows which way it is going.
The top small white arrow button is the Orientation Button. Pressing this button while the arrow points forwards on your desktop sets that as the 'up' direction for pointer movement on screen no matter how the mouse is rotated.
Take it for a spin
The Orbita Mouse can be rotated with one finger like a video or audio 'jog wheel' or you can 'flick' it and it will spin freely on its ball bearing base.
You can continuously rotate the mouse this way, unlike with a traditional mouse scroll wheel. Rotating the mouse needs only a very light touch.
Spinning the mouse sends normal scroll wheel commands, so the Orbita is compatible with all standard applications. But compared to a normal scroll wheel, the continuous spinning action of the Orbita Mouse is smooth, fast and precise.
Buttons
Because the mouse can be used at any angle you can also use the buttons at any angle. There is one 'push' button which can be operated from any part of the top of the mouse, and a series of 'squeeze' buttons which give a 'right click'.
The silver 'Jog Dimple' button can be pressed while rotating the mouse to activate horizontal scrolling. Or, it can be configured as the 'middle mouse button' for complete compatibility with your applications.
The Jog Dimple button also glows with a cool blue light to indicate when the Orbita is charging on its base station.
