SD5000T5 EQ Thunderbolt 5 Triple 4K Docking Station
The Plug-and-Play SD5000T5 maximizes the full potential and versatility of Thunderbolt 5 laptops with an 11-in-1 design that connects to a single laptop Thunderbolt port to create a complete desktop workstation. Delivering speeds up to 120Gbps for fast data transfers, the dock supports triple 4K or dual 8K monitors to enhance visual productivity and provides up to 140W for powering and charging the laptop and connected accessories.
Built-in SD and micro-SD card readers streamline data transfers for graphic designers, video editors, and animators. Zero-footprint mounting frees up valuable desk space and creates a tidier workspace. The outer case is composed of 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) aluminum.
Expert Mouse™ TB800 EQ Trackball
The Kensington Expert Mouse™ TB800 EQ Trackball is a next-generation, finger-operated ergonomic trackball engineered to increase efficiency, maximize productivity, and potentially reduce fatigue and repetitive strain injuries. The stationary trackball features customizable buttons and side rollers that eliminate keystrokes giving users access to up to 16 customizable tasks at the touch of a finger.
The innovative symmetrical design is ideal for use by left- and right-handed users. A slight angle enables users to operate the trackball with their hands in a natural resting position for maximum comfort. The large 55mm ball with four DPI options provides precise cursor control, and an adjustable scroll ring allows users to effortlessly scroll vertically within applications to enhance productivity. The plug-and-play trackball supports both wired and wireless connectivity for ease of connection with up to three devices and AES-128 encryption provides enhanced wireless security.
Elevated Stand for Surface
The Kensington Elevated Stand for Surface is an all-in-one riser that elevates Surface devices to eye level to minimize strain on the user’s neck, back, and shoulders, and tilts to provide an optimal viewing angle to ease eye strain. Ideal for use with external keyboards, the lightweight aluminum Elevated Stand features a compact design that folds flat for maximum portability.
Elevated Stand enables users to secure both the Surface device and the stand with a single Kensington lock to enhance security, deter theft, and provide peace of mind. The integrated cable management channel helps eliminate desktop clutter and a dedicated magnetic storage location ensures that the Surflink™ connector is never lost. Anti-slip padding on the bottom of the Elevated Stand supports stability and prevents movement during use, and anti-slip cushioning on the top surface keeps devices from slipping.
Kensington’s SD5000T5 EQ Thunderbolt 5 Triple 4K Docking Station and Elevated Stand for Surface are available now in North America through the Kensington Store and its partner sites. Expert Mouse™ TB800 EQ Trackball will be available in Q4 2025.
