A trackball is a pointing device consisting of a ball held in a socket that detects rotation along two axes, allowing precise cursor control without moving the entire device. Unlike a traditional mouse, a trackball remains stationary, making it ideal for confined or harsh industrial environments. Industrial trackballs are specifically designed with rugged construction to withstand extreme conditions such as dust, moisture, and mechanical impact. For applications requiring durability and reliability, FB Peripherals offers a range of robust industrial trackballs suited to mission-critical tasks.
Trackballs are widely utilised in industrial, medical, and military applications where precise cursor control is essential. Unlike traditional mice, trackballs remain stationary, making them ideal for harsh or confined environments. They offer high durability and reliability, crucial for mission-critical operations. Common trackball applications include rugged workstations, control panels, and kiosks, particularly in settings exposed to dust, moisture, or vibration. FB Peripherals specialises in supplying robust, industrial-grade trackballs designed for such demanding scenarios. For more information on rugged trackballs suited to challenging environments, visit FB Peripherals’ rugged trackballs.
Yes, trackballs can be panel mounted, offering a robust and space-efficient input solution for industrial and mission-critical environments. Panel mount trackballs are designed to be securely installed within control panels, allowing seamless integration with rugged systems. This mounting style enhances durability and protects the device from harsh conditions such as dust, moisture, and vibration. FB Peripherals is a trusted supplier of high-quality panel mount trackballs, providing reliable performance for demanding applications where durability and precision are paramount.
Glove friendly trackballs are specifically designed to operate efficiently even when users wear gloves, making them ideal for harsh or industrial environments.
