Ergonomic Trackball Provides Smooth, Precise, Cursor Control
Designed for Surface™, Kensington’s Expert Mouse® Wireless Trackball gives Surface Pro 10 users smooth, precise cursor control to navigate webpages and documents with ease. Connecting wirelessly to Surface Pro 10 using Bluetooth® 4.0 LE, the trackball features an ambidextrous design for use by right- and left-handed users and features a detachable wrist rest that provides ergonomic support for pain-free productivity during extended periods of activity. The free KensingtonWorks™ software enables users to customize button functions and cursor and scrolling speeds to provide a more personalized experience.
BlackBelt™ Rugged Cases Protect Surface Pro in Harsh Environments
Kensington’s BlackBelt™ Rugged Case for Surface™ Pro 9 & 10 meets military standards for drop testing and wipe-down protection enabling Surface Pro 10 to withstand the rigors of harsh work environments. Compatible with Kensington’s cable locks and privacy screen, the BlackBelt™ case features a compact design that provides access to all device ports. The case incorporates heat dissipation channels, a self-adjusting hand strap that allows the device to lie flat, a stretch band to secure and protect a Type Cover or Signature keyboard when not in use, a removable Surface Pen holder, and full access to the Surface Pro kickstand.
For Surface Pro 10 users that require CAC card access and two-factor authentication (2FA), the BlackBelt™ Rugged Case with Integrated Smart Card Reader (CAC) & HDMI® for Surface™ Pro 9 & 10 adds an integrated TAA-compliant Smart Card reader that supports class A, B, and C for secure access to the device and network. Read-Only Memory (ROM) ensures data is never stored or compromised.
For users that require CAC and 2FA support on the Surface Pro 10 device, but do not need the robust protection of the BlackBelt™ Rugged Case, Kensington offers the Smart Card (CAC) Reader Adapter for Surface™ Pro 9 & 10.
Security Products Provide Robust Protection Against Device and Data Theft
For Surface Pro 10 users working in public spaces such as coffee shops and on airplanes, valuable or sensitive data can be easily stolen by a “shoulder surfer” who is watching over the victim’s shoulder as they work. The Designed for Surface™ MagPro™ Elite Magnetic Privacy Screen for Surface™ Pro 10/9/8 conveniently attaches to the Surface Pro magnetic frame and narrows the field of vision to +/- 30 degrees to keep information on the screen private and reduce the chance of a visual data breach in the office or public setting.
Kensington’s Designed for Surface™ Keyed Cable Lock for Surface™ Pro and Surface™ Go and Combination Lock for Surface™ Pro and Surface™ Go deliver uncompromised device security to provide visual and physical deterrence against theft of the Surface Pro device. Using a secure carbon steel cable, the locks feature a non-invasive locking technology that requires no device modifications, and a strong lock head that meets Kensington’s industry-leading standards for tamper resistance, reliability, and durability.
“Microsoft continues to introduce innovative products and solutions to the consumer and business markets that expand the applications of mobile computing and revolutionize the ways in which people work and live,” explained Lisa Schuiteboer Shuler, Manager of Product Marketing, Global Marketing at Kensington. “We are excited to be able to offer a comprehensive portfolio of products that are available now for the new Microsoft Surface Pro 10, which will allow users to protect and maximize the capabilities of this exciting new device from day one.”
Kensington accessories for Microsoft Surface Pro 10 are available now in North America through the Kensington Store and its partner sites.
