Infra-Red 50 mm Trackball
Utilizing the latest and most advanced infra-red optical tracking technology, the L50 Seriesl Trackerball™ is an extremely high specification, contact-less device, ideal for the most demanding of cursor control applications.
The infra-red optical tracking engine provides accurate cursor motion at all speeds and on virtually any ball, combining the benefits of solid state sensing (no moving parts except the ball). The L50 trackballs are available with a variety of electrical outputs, tracking force options, and sealing capabilities up to IP68.
The solid state design allows the device to be subjected to extreme conditions and provides the user with the ability to wash down, decontaminate, and sterilize, making it the ideal trackball for a wide range of demanding applications and environments. The unit has been designed to be back of panel mounted as part of OEM keyboards and consoles.
