Adesso Wired USB Mini Trackball Keyboard 87-Key (AKB-310UB)

The Adesso AKB-310UB is a compact wired USB keyboard with a built-in 800 DPI optical trackball that replaces a separate mouse for precise, space-saving navigation.

This small-footprint keyboard integrates an optical trackball and dedicated mouse buttons into an 87-key US layout so you can control your pointer and type from the same surface. At 11.75" wide and weighing just 1.2 lbs, it’s made for crowded desks, kiosks, and home-office setups where every inch counts. The AKB-310UB uses a plug-and-play USB connection for easy compatibility with most Windows systems and relies on quiet membrane keys for everyday typing comfort.

How does the built-in trackball improve desk space and workflow?

The integrated optical trackball eliminates the need for a separate external mouse and frees up desk real estate. Because the pointer is operated with minimal hand travel, it reduces reaching and keeps your work area uncluttered—ideal for small cubicles and multi-device stations.

• 800 DPI optical trackball for accurate pointer control
• Mouse buttons positioned beside the ball for intuitive clicking
• Compact 11.75" width fits narrow work surfaces and kiosks
• Single USB cable connection reduces cable clutter

Is the typing feel suitable for daily office use?

Yes — the AKB-310UB uses quiet membrane keys that strike a balance between comfort and responsiveness for routine typing tasks. The keys are rated for long life, so the keyboard stands up to daily use without noisy keypresses that can disrupt shared spaces.

• Quiet membrane switch design for low-noise typing
• Key lifespan rated for over five million keystrokes
• 87-key US layout includes embedded numeric keys for data entry
• Low-profile chassis helps maintain a natural hand position
