n-ABLER Trackball – Accessible Computer Mouse Alternative

The n-ABLER Trackball is an accessible computer mouse alternative designed for people who find a standard mouse difficult, tiring or uncomfortable to use. Its large, free-running trackball responds to a light touch, allowing the cursor to be controlled using the fingertips with minimal hand, wrist or arm movement.

Ideal for children and adults with limited mobility, reduced dexterity, learning difficulties or additional access needs, the n-ABLER combines a stable ergonomic design with programmable buttons, adjustable cursor speeds and switch-access options.

The symmetrical layout can be used with either hand, while the integrated palm rest supports a more relaxed working position. Left- and right-click functions can also be exchanged for left-handed use, with settings retained when the trackball is disconnected or moved to another computer.

Accessible Computer Control

The large 63mm trackball has a high-mass, free-running design that requires very little effort to move. This can help reduce repeated wrist and elbow movements during computer work, learning activities, communication tasks and leisure use.

Dedicated buttons provide easier alternatives to actions that may be difficult with a conventional mouse, including double-clicking and click-and-drag. The buttons are colour coded and mounted slightly below the surface to help reduce accidental activation.

Adjustable to Individual Needs

Cursor speed can be changed directly on the unit, allowing movement to be made slower and more controlled or faster where appropriate. A single-axis function can restrict cursor movement to horizontal or vertical directions, which may help users who find precise pointer control challenging.

The direction of cursor movement can also be reconfigured, allowing the n-ABLER Trackball to be positioned or mounted in different orientations without affecting how the pointer moves on screen.

Switch Access and Dwell Click

Two 3.5mm switch sockets allow external accessibility switches to operate any of the six built-in button functions, including cursor speed control. This gives users greater flexibility in choosing the most comfortable and reliable method of access.

For users who find pressing buttons or switches difficult, the programmable Dwell Click function can perform an action automatically when the pointer remains in one position. Both the dwell time and the required action, such as left click or double click, can be selected.
