ITAC Systems' $200 3D input trackballs for SOCET SET and SOCET GXP have USB connectivity — no drivers to install or support.

ITAC Systems' $200 3D input trackballs for SOCET SET and SOCET GXP have USB connectivity — no drivers to install or support.

ITAC Systems, Inc., developer and manufacturer of trackballs and other computer input devices, has designed two custom USB compatible trackballs for SOCET SET and SOCET GXP stereo workstations. Jim McKinney, vice president of sales for ITAC Systems, unveiled the new evolution
Fx-Scroll for SOCET GXP and evolution Fx-Scroll for SOCET SET trackballs at the 2008 GXP International User Conference last month in San Diego. The new evolution Fx-Scroll products are part of the Mouse-Trak® product line, popular on BAE Systems’ computer workstations for many years, and the only products on the market that offer direct USB connectivity for SOCET SET and SOCET GXP.

Mouse-Trak trackballs give users who spend many hours a day navigating large maps and images an alternative to the typical PC mouse. They are designed to compliment a standard mouse or trackball and provide powerful z-axis control, as well as six programmable keyboard function keys for application-specific tasks. The programmable trackball keys let users map frequently used functions with any of the six keys, and the ergonomic design eliminates the need for repetitive side-to-side motion, which helps reduce stress and injuries to hands, wrists and arms. The evolution Fx-Scroll sits on the desk under one hand, leaving the other hand free for standard mouse and keyboard activity.

“These new evolution Fx-scroll trackballs are going to make a lot of our users very happy.
You just plug them in and they’re ready to go.”

—Rob Stout, Product Manager, BAE Systems GXP

The smooth z-axis control, rugged construction, and economical price are favored by many customers worldwide. In addition, Mouse-Trak devices are reliable, and perform well in harsh environments. The evolution Fx-Scroll for SOCET GXP and evolution Fx-Scroll for SOCET SET, both designed for optimum productivity and ease of use, each sell for $200, which makes them a cost-effective option for secondary mouse navigation on stereo workstations.

Because Mouse-Trak input devices are convenient and easy to operate, many companies such as United Airlines, Motorola, Morgan Stanley, Intel, and Sun Microsystems have implemented similar Mouse-Trak products in their work environments.
