Kensington Turbo Mouse Pro Wireless trackball

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KENSINGTON’S NEW TRACKBALL IS FIRST WIRELESS DEVICE COMPATIBLE WITH MAC OS X

SAN MATEO, Calif. – September 24, 2001 – Today Kensington reaffirmed its
long-standing commitment to the Mac=AE community with the launch of its Turb=
o
Mouse=AE Pro Wireless trackball. Bundled with the latest version of
MouseWorks=AE software, the Turbo Mouse Pro Wireless is the first wireless
input device compatible with Apple’s new Mac OS X operating system.

In addition to its wireless connectivity, Kensington’s trackball also
features six Direct Launch(tm) buttons that can be pre-set to directly
access favorite web sites or launch important applications, four large
programmable mouse buttons that streamline repetitive tasks, and an
integrated scroll wheel. These unique features of the Turbo Mouse Pro
Wireless allow users to design graphics, build web pages and surf the
Internet without being restricted by the clutter of cords and wires,
increasing worker flexibility and productivity.

“For more than 17 years, Kensington has been the leading manufacturer of
peripheral products designed specifically for Mac users, and we want to
keep it that way,” says Randy Hart, Vice President, Product Management for
Ergonomics and Input. “We understand that the market was asking for the
convenience and simplicity of wireless devices, and we wanted to be the
first to bring this functionality to the Mac community.”

The new Turbo Mouse Pro Wireless builds on the success of the Turbo Mouse
trackball line of Mac input devices. Kensington has received more than 25
awards for its input devices, which include the highly acclaimed Expert
Mouse and Expert Mouse Pro, the TurboRing, TurboBall, and Orbit trackballs.

Turbo Mouse Pro Wireless will be available for purchase in late September
at leading computer resellers, through computer mail order or direct from
Kensington at www.kensington.com. The Turbo Mouse Pro Wireless’s estimated
retail price is $119.99. It is backed by a Kensington satisfaction
