My laptop is 16.5 wide by 10.5 inch deep, and I want to use a trackball at the side- will this work? Thanks!

I think so. I used it with one that was about 14" wide and had plenty of room to use a standard size mouse, so you should have plenty of room for a trackball.

Depending on how big the trackball is, you should be OK. At the widest points, the work surface is about 22" x 12.5".

Hello there! I am thinking my laptop is about the same size? I Have a larger sized Dell with a 17 inch monitor for graphic design purposes. I believe you should have room for a trackball. I have about a one to one and a half inch clearance on each side of the lap desk, with my laptop on it, if you had a mouse i don't think it would work because I have a wireless mouse that I have to use like on the chair arm, or a book, something that is near. But a trackball you may not have any problems I wouldn't think?

You're going to be pushing it. I mean, you probably can but it's going to be a tight little area to work in. Maybe if you had one of those miniature sized mice it would be better, but even then you'll be very tight one space. As per the dimensions, it's 22.4" wide, so it depends if you think you can work a mouse in a 3.5"-4" space.** EDIT ** - Sorry I didn't understand when you said you were using a 'trackball' mouse. I was thinking of the old school ball mice. If you don't need to move you a trackball mouse side to side much then yeah, you'd probably be fine.

I think it would probably be a bit too small for that. I have a full-sized keyboard (including numeric keypad) and a Logitech trackball-type controller, and there's plenty of room for that, but I know I could not fit a typical mouse pad on there.

Probably depends on the size of your hand. I tried one at Best Buy and it's too small, compare to say, the old logitech trackman wheel, which is much larger. I'm 6'2" with normal sized hands, not overly large or small. One thing you could try would be to just switch your mouse to your other hand for a while, or buy an ambidextrous mouse. Also, the way you sit and hold the mouse is important.

It is a rather large trackball, quite a bit larger than I was expecting. But I would still highly recommend it if you do any kind of editing or processes which use a lot of multi key commands. It will really improve your workflow. Here is a picture of it sitting on my 15" MacBook Pro to give you a frame of reference. Hope this helps.http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q540/Jeremy_Ryals/IMG_3008.jpg

It all depends on where you use your mouse. I would imagine it could if your mouse was placed where the edges are, but if you keep it within the edges, it should be fine.

probably the same answer as for this product Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball

I have a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard and it just fits with just enough room for my trackball mouse. It's snug, but works.

no, a portion of the keyboard tray will stick out if you use a shorter 17" track. The desk depth will determine what track length you can use.

It's approx. 3 7/8" long by 2 1/4" (approximate because it is an irregular shape, and should be no more than a 1/16" off) Should do the trick for you. I use it for my laptop and love it! I hope this helps :)

If by "full size" you are referring to the fit in my hand, then yes. My hand size is larger than the average hand size and the trackball is fits comfortably. I experience fewer stiffness and soreness in my hand and arm than other styles

It's going to depend on how you set up the stand. I like to use a mouse so I have to place an extension under the laptop that sticks out to the side to support my mouse. I bought it at staples and it makes my laptop about 6 inches wider. It works just fine for me but I don't mind that it doesn't sit completely on the stand. And as long as you use it right, so that the stand cradles the laptop, it should not be a problem as the "keeper" (for lack of a better word) on the bottom of the stand is tall enough that it does not allow the laptop to slip down while inclined, and the extension I bought makes my laptop stand a 1/2 inch taller.

I have a track ball set up on it. But probably not enough room for a standard mouse to be moved aroubd

I have a 17 inch and it fits fine. There is also room for a mouse or trackball.

I use my 17in laptop with a mouse on it. The tabs in front that hold the laptop in place could be a bit taller, but that has nothing to do with the width.

Are you asking about the Kensington TrackBall? The new one works fine on my OS 10.8. Don't know about 10.6.

Yes, it should fit, barely, though it may overlap the mouse pad by 1/2 inch on the side.

I have a 15.3" laptop and it fits perfectly on the lap desk with little extra room...I could slide it over a little, but I use a Logitech Anywhere MX mouse that works great on any surface.
