The ball and scrolling are also still very smooth, like new. UPDATE July 2017: After using the trackball almost daily for more than a year, I can report that there is virtually no signs of wear on the plastic, the plastic is truly a very high quality. I will report on this later when I have used the CST for a few months. I haven’t used the trackball long enough to see any wear and tear on the plastic, but I have the feeling you won’t see any noticeable signs of use even after years of using it. The top and buttons have a subtle texture to give you more grip, and the sides and bottom are smooth, but overal the materials look the same. What I like about the design of the CST Trackball is that the whole device (buttons and case) are made from the same color material, a dark grey plastic, making it quite stylish and understated compared to trackballs that use a variety of plastic materials. The blue ball makes it even quite futuristic. The design is old, from the 1990s, but looks quite good and modern in the dark grey color (the mechanical trackballs still made by CST have that old white/yellow PC color, and that looks quite dated). The device is longer, but less wide than the Kensington Expert/SlimBlade but with a similar size ball. First impressions are that this is a large and heavy trackball, something I personally like. DesignĪnd then of course, the CST Trackball itself. Unfortunately I don’t have a CD-ROM anymore, so haven’t been able to see the contents of the CD. Inside the box, the simplicity continues with a single sheet Thank You note with some basic Quick Start instructions and a CD-ROM with the user guide. On one side of the box it mentions the brand name Clearly Superior Technologies, the company’s address and a white sticker with the model name, in this case CST2545-5W(GL)-RC. Not as smooth, shiny and designed as the latest Kensington boxes, but a down-to-earth, environmentally friendly carton box with blue and red print of “The Clearly Superior Trackball”, a line drawing of the trackball and proudly showing the American flag and “Made in America”.ĬST2545-5W (GL) L-Trac Glow Laser Trackball in the box The carton packaging in which the CST is delivered is basic.
