Question Who has a Kensington Slimblade Pro?

I ordered 1 yesterday after watching a few reviews of it. Then I decided to watch a few more videos, and this one he showed how he couldn't use it to click and drag. So I went back go Reddit and a few people commented on how they couldn't click + drag + scroll either. What am I not understanding, or do these just not work for click and dragging? That is basic functionality, but I've never owned a trackball so maybe it's not here. I knew there would be a learning curve, especially for me since I've been on a mouse since GEOS on the C64 lol. But if what I'm seeing in the video is accurate, how the hell do people use these? Click and drag is something I use every day.

The video I linked goes right to the part I'm talking about where the guy tries it and fails, I'm hoping he's just doing something wrong or there's 3rd party software to add the ability.

 
I love mine.

I also have a Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless, and it's also excellent.

They work find for click/drag - it takes a little more coordination to click/hold with your thumb while using your other fingers to move the ball around, but it's fine once you get used to it.

The one thing I miss is the scroll-wheel click. That gets used in couple applications I've used (like FreeCAD) so I just keep a mouse around - I should figure out a way to map/remap it or something.
