Kensington Revamps Expert Mouse TB800 With Extra Scrolls and Rechargeable Power

Conflicting reports leave pricing as well as timing unclear.

Overview

  • The redesigned TB800 adds three scrolling controls—a base scroll ring plus two vertical side wheels—for vertical, horizontal, and zoom navigation.
  • Eight programmable buttons now surround the ball and top panel, with desktop software enabling up to 16 bindable actions.
  • Power moves to a rechargeable battery rated for up to four months per charge, with USB-C supporting both charging and wired operation.
  • Connectivity includes Bluetooth and a 2.4GHz USB dongle alongside USB-C, and specs list a 55mm ball and 1,000Hz polling with no DPI published.
  • Price and availability remain unsettled, with The Verge citing $149.99 “later this year” and PCWorld reporting a Kensington representative’s guidance of Q4 2025 in North America at $130.
