ELECOM 2.4GHz Wireless Thumb-Operated Trackball reviews

That's a great review:

Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse for far too long, the only real option for a good trackball mouse has been available from Logitech, and they've even reduced their range over time, leaving only the wireless m570 alone. What's unfortunate is that they also made some of the components used cheaper (probably due to lack of competition), often developing a bug with the buttons/switches (often registering double or no clicks).

 It seems to be a very common problem and more than annoying! Makes them useless! This is of course what happened to mine, and fixing/fixing the problem meant replacing the switches (too much hassle) or buying another one, which would probably have the same error after an unacceptable amount of time considering the Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse price.

I've looked for alternatives for a long time, but many seemed to suffer from poor design and other annoyances/lack of features. Finally, I came across this Elecom EX-G M-XT3DRBK (Beware of the stupid naming scheme, there are some variants!) So order it, but again, the ELECOM 2.4GHz wireless mouse with thumb-operated trackball probably. 

Not be what I expected. Luckily I was completely wrong, so far it's going great. Not only is it a good replacement for the m570, but it's also better in almost every way. Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse has more buttons and functions and has not developed a single bug even after continuous abuse. 

It also feels nicer than the m570, especially the quality of the finish and shape, as well as the button clicks (particularly the reverse/forward). It makes the m570 cheap in comparison in my opinion.

How to choose Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse:

Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse has 3 buttons + scroller + scroller tilt left / right/middle click as well as the normal forward-backward buttons, it also has a high and low-speed switch (I usually use high). 

All functions work with the standard plug and play controllers except 1 of the 3 main buttons, however using Elecom's own controller/software can remedy this and also has the added benefit of being able to map anything to any of the above functions, including gesture options.

The only thing missing is the precision option, but that can be selected in the Windows mouse option and you're good to go. Just search for ELECOM Mouse Assistant (general) to find the download.

The Pro is the first...

The ball moves smoothly as if it were lubricated, precise, and easy to control.

The buttons feel light and are very quiet, both are beautiful attributes

6 programmable buttons! I am in heaven

Two DPI settings, ideal for better tailoring to different tasks

High/low power, hope this will greatly extend battery life

The configuration software is in English and intuitive to use

Ergonomics fit me like a glove

The cost was less than half of what I paid years ago for my latest Logitech

Cons...

Ergonomically, I would have preferred a 15-degree incline, but it's just me

Mouse Assistant software must be DL, I had to find the link

Be sure to also read the separate PDF manual DL

Here's the problem... Other mouse control software must be uninstalled before installation:

In my case, it was just an annoyance, but not a problem...for other people, I don't know

Remark of ELECOM 2.4GHz Wireless Thumb-Operated Trackball reviews:

I never found Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse to be useful for active games, they are only good for static games like Solitaire and Sherlock

Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse only slight annoyance (can't call it a malfunction) I could find was the smoothness when new, but this seems to have improved with use and now feels much smoother than the m570. 

The product name is also a bit silly, Elecom really needs to work out its naming scheme as it's confusing, it still doesn't take much away from the product itself which I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone who does a good search. Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse.

I think this is the best Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse on the market right now.
