The PC-Trac from Clearly Superior Technologies is a robustly built trackball line offering options and features not readily available in other trackballs.The low profile of the PC-Trac acts as a natural hand rest mirroring the natural contour of your hand and is designed to easily accommodate both right and left-hand use, as well as different size hands.

Unlike most trackballs on the market, the high density phenolic trackball in the PC-Trac has significant inertia. This provides far more tactile feedback than that normally offered trackballs, while still offering smooth response to even a light touch. The PC-Trac also offers "dynamic acceleration" which increases distance covered proportional to the speed of rotation. This feature ensures fine control as well as offering accurate rapid movement when required. (See the Features section on the Detailed Specifications Page for a deeper explanation of this feature.)

PC-Trac basic models offer both "middle click" and "drag lock" functions (see the Features for more details.) On the Pro models this button only supports "middle click" but there is downloadable software available which enables individuals to customize their trackball features. There is also a 5-button model which offers 2 input jacks for the connection of optional external switches.

The PC-Trac is now available from PI Engineering as the X-Keys O-Trac

The MicroTrac Trackball from Clearly Superior Technologies offers a surprising degree of performance packed into a small package. The diminutive housing means the MicroTrac can easily fit in the palm of the hand, potentially reducing fatigue by reducing the need to reach for a mousing device. Users with average or larger hands may well be able to perform all functions with a single hand, using the thumb for button activation and trackball control. Those with smaller hands will easily be able to perform all functions with two hands since reaching with the thumb may not be sufficient. Alternatively, the MicroTrac can be placed wherever desired and used as a traditional trackball, with rubber feet ensuring secure positioning. The exceptionally compact design also means this device can be used by those with very limited range of movement or even by small children and yet users with large hands can still achieve reasonably effective control without feeling overly constrained by the compact size.

Although the MicroTrac trackball has minimal mass and is therefore unable to 'spin' freely as do its larger PC-Trac and L-Trac cousins, the built-in dynamic motion enhancement provides single-pixel control while still offering rapid movement over greater distances. Rolling the ball faster exponentially increases the cursor speed across the screen, move the ball slowly and you get single pixel accuracy. This three button trackball requires no special drivers or software. The middle button can perform both Drag-Lock and Scroll-Lock functions. An indicator LED notifies users when the Scroll-Lock mode is activated. Load balancing between hands is encouraged by the ability to simultaneously press all three buttons to switch them between Right and Left format.

With the MicroTrac you can work precisely and comfortably for hours at a time. The Drag Lock feature makes this product more comfortable by eliminating the need to hold down a button to highlight or select items. Simply tap the Drag Lock Button and the button stays 'locked' until hit a second time. The MicroTrac also far outperforms similarly-sized trackballs by offering much smoother movement combined with the superior control provided by the Dynamic Motion-Enhancement.

The CST3645 Vertical Mouse allows the hand to adopt a nearly vertical (approximately 60°) hand position while mousing. The unit has raised 'ridges' where the hand and thumb make contact with the mouse to prevent pockets of heat from forming when using the mouse for extended periods of time. The thin contoured left and right click buttons are on the right side of the mouse (with a clickable vertical scroll wheel nested between), and two convenient thumb buttons perform Back and Forward actions. There is a dpi toggle on top of the mouse to adjust between 600, 1000 and 1600 dpi. A removable palm support 'surround' at the rear of the mouse prevents the edge of the hand from dragging on the surface when moving the mouse, encouraging mouse movements to be made with the entire arm. The Superior-X driver is available to allow reprogramming of all the buttons.

The L-Trac from Clearly Superior Technologies combines a high level optical sensor capable of resolutions up to 1600 CPI (counts per inch) with the robust build for which the original PC-Trac line is well-known. The L-Trac features an optical laser sensor that offers "button selectable" tracking resolutions of 400, 800 and 1600 CPI, easily changed on the fly. Combined with this is the ability of the L-Trac to track at speeds exceeding 30 inches per second, even at a 20G acceleration rate. An optional scroll wheel (available on select models) is smooth and readily accessible, located above the center button.

The L-Trac provides users with a precision, high performance pointing device. The large 57 mm diameter weighted trackball produces predictable, quick, and precise cursor control. Most users will find that movement becomes intuitive within a few minutes of use, with the level of control increasing over time.

The level of performance and range of features, coupled with the proven contour of the L-Trac makes these trackballs an appropriate option for all applications including general computing, gaming and Computer Aided Design (CAD). CAD users love it because you can drag a line one pixel even on high resolution displays. Then, with a button stroke, they can fly around the screen to get general tasks done. Gamers have called it an "almost unfair advantage", citing the fingertip control and precision, high performance tracking.

Designed to minimize the effects of contamination build up and the resultant degradation of performance, this high performance laser trackball uses highly polished stainless steel rollers. It has been found by CST that the "ruby ball sliders" used in most optical trackballs, cause performance degradation when gunk builds up on them. The L-Trac uses mirror polished stainless steel rollers do not readily collect unwanted material and are easily cleared by spinning the ball rapidly. The Dupont Delrin bearings are embedded with Teflon and internally coated with a lifetime lubricant making the feel of this trackball extremely smooth and it's reliability very robust. The user-replaceable stainless steel rollers are extremely tough and designed to handle hard usage yet still provide users with controlled smooth movement.

The L-Trac is now available from PI Engineering as the X-Keys L-Trac

Clearly Superior Technologies just added a cool factor to their line of L-Trac high-performance trackballs. The new L-Trac GLOW offers all the same functions of other L-Trac models but with a unique new look--a backlit translucent ball that glows a vibrant blue.

The L-Trac GLOW uses the same quality components that have enabled Clearly Superior Trackballs to develop a reputation for reliability and performance under demanding conditions. The precision-ground ball and mirror-finished rollers deliver a smooth-as-silk feel and effortless control. The ball on the L-Trac GLOW is 28% lighter than the traditional ball used in other L-Trac models, resulting in a reduced load on the fingers.

The L-Trac GLOW features high performance laser optical tracking with selectable resolutions of up to 1600 CPI. Button selectable resolutions enable rapid changes of sensitivity while maintaining full control of the trackball. The high performance laser navigation system is capable of tracking at greater than 20 inches per second. This means the user can fly around the screen with a flick of the finger or snap from one side of the screen to the other with a healthy flick of the arm. Either way, this precision, high performance pointing device produces predictable, quick and precise motion that becomes intuitive in a few minutes of use. The scroll wheel is smooth and readily accessible, located above the center button.

The design is completely ambidextrous, accommodating either right or left-handed users. The extra large ball and contoured profile allow for easier control and accommodate hands of all sizes--from children's to adults'. The lighter weight of the ball on the L-Trac Glow makes it a good option for children or those who have limited strength in their fingers.

Performance users can expand their command options by selecting the CST2545-5WGL-RC. This model includes jacks to connect two additional external switches.

The KidTrac trackball from Clearly Superior Technologies may be look like it is for children but users shouldn't be fooled by outward appearances. The bold bright colours—Yellow trackball with Red, Green and Blue buttons—is just a disguise for a highly functional trackball with capabilities suited to all ages.

Unlike most trackballs on the market, the high density 2.5" diameter phenolic trackball in the KidTrac has significant inertia. This provides far more tactile feedback than that normally offered with other trackballs, ensuring smooth response to even a light touch and requiring minimal dexterity of the fingers. Since the entire hand can be engaged in performing the trackball movements, the PC-Trac is a good solution for those who may have weakness or damage to the fingers, or for those who are seeking to avoid potential Repetitive Strain Injuries. Unlike some other trackballs, the trackball in the KidTrac is also safely secured in the housing to ensure that it cannot be easily removed, either by accident or deliberate action so missing trackballs or broken windows are not an issue.

The KidTrac also offers 'Dynamic Acceleration' which increases distance covered proportional to the speed of rotation. This feature ensures fine control as well as offering accurate rapid movement when required. (See the Features section on the Detailed Specifications Page for a deeper explanation of this feature.)
Since the low profile of the KidTrac housing acts as a natural hand rest, mirroring the natural contour of your hand, it can also reduce the risk of the wrist being inappropriately positioned and being injured as a result.The special 'Ambidextrous Trackball' feature allows switching from left to right-handed use by simultaneously pressing all 3 buttons, without the need to change system settings.

Users with vision limitations can especially benefit from the extra-large brightly coloured design which serves as an aid to clearly identify the button locations and functions. The light activation force and large dimensions of the buttons also mean that anyone with limited strength will be able to perform clicks as easily as any user. Users with motor function limitations may be interested in the Switch-Adapted version of the KidTrac which has three jacks for the connection of accessibility switches to provide easier access to the button functions.

The L-Trac Switch Adapted from Clearly Superior Technologies features the high performance and robust build for which the original PC-Trac line is well-known. The L-Trac features an optical laser sensor which offers "button selectable" tracking resolutions of 400, 800 and 1600 CPI, easily changed on the fly. Combined with this is the ability of the L-Trac to track at speeds exceeding 30 inches per second, even at a 20G acceleration rate. The scroll wheel is smooth and readily accessible, located above the center button. Unique to the Switch Adapted version of the L-Trac is the availability of three jacks which support connection of external switches. Connecting an external switch deactivates the on-board switch for that function - a feature which can be of benefit when seeking to eliminate accidental button activation. This means that the click activations can be performed from alternate locations more advantageous to the user.
