Welcome to KensingtonWorks™

KensingtonWorks™ is a tool for personalising your experience with Kensington® trackballs, mice and presenters. Designed with productivity in mind, KensingtonWorks™ simplified software allows you to customise button functions, modify pointer settings and tailor your device functionality to meet your individual needs. We aim to provide you with devices that work the way you do to enhance your productivity and increase workflow efficiencies.

Customisation made easy.

A modern and user-friendly interface allows you to customise button functions, modify pointer settings and tailor device functionality to meet your individual needs within minutes.

The simplicity of one

One integrated software application works for all of your Kensington trackballs, mice and presenters. An Update Reminder process provides notifications to ensure that you have access to the latest customisation options for your devices. Connect Tutor will automatically launch when a new device is selected to easily guide you through the setup process.

Personalised setting protection

The Bind-to-Cloud feature saves your personalised settings to a cloud account (OneDrive) so they can be retrieved at any time.

Increased productivity

Productivity is about speed. Being able to quickly make edits and changes is crucial to an efficient workflow. Customising your input device can improve your productivity. View the case study: Producing Expert Precision

Presenter customisation features

Assign custom features to the top button. Note: the top button can only be programmed to perform one function at a time.
Set a button to blackout the screen – a convenient default for interactive presentations.
Start/end presentation with the presenter instead of walking back to your laptop.
Cursor for playing videos or opening links during the presentation.
Magnifier allows the presenter to zoom in on the designated area the presenter would like to explain in detail. This is recommended when presenting financial reports and other areas with a high density of information.
Pen enables the presenter the flexibility to draw the audience's attention and adds emphasis to particular sentences and areas of the presentation. The Pen feature is exclusive for Microsoft® PowerPoint for Mac.
Customise the pointer with up to 20 different styles to best fit your different presentation scenarios. Select the laser-like pointer for formal presentations and other unique pointer styles to encourage more discussions/conversations for interactive informal presentations.
Customise your pointer size and speed to cultivate your personal presentation style.
