A few notes from a first timer viewer:
1. The video was thorough from start to finish.
2. I enjoyed the introduction to your history of trackball mice.
3. I also adored Microsoft's trackball, and was very sad when mine died.
4. The unboxing was wonderfully done. I've seen videos where they open they gently open the box, show the papers, skim through them, and then just rip the product out. It was nice to see you remove the product with a seemingly level of fondness for the product.
5. When you saw the product through the plastic (before the unboxing), I related to your sudden level of excitement, and it really was great.
6. The way you showed the product was fantastic, as well as the software.
7. Your desk area was aesthetically pleasing.
8. After seeing this video, I knew that I needed to purchase the Trackball.
9. I've given you a thumbs up, and I'm subscribed.
10. Keep up the great work and thank you very much for making this video!

I absolutely love my HUGE Balls. I have both the wireless and wired versions and I use them on a Linux laptop. I would definitely recommend either. For the wireless one, a form fitting case ( Hermit Shell Brand ) is a must to both protect the device and make sure the USB BT receiver does not fall out during transport.

Finally, a trackball worthy of upgrading to. My Microsoft Trackball Explorer is ace but has been on it's last legs for years now, still trooping on well enough though surprisingly. I also checked out a replacement and its nuts how much they're going for, even second hand, even with faults. As a graphic, 3d and audio engineer, im all over those added functions. looks ace

Great video! Thanks for showing that online test. Most of the reviewers haven't used trackballs much and they aren't very good with them. IT was reassuring to see how good you can get with it. I tried the test with a regular mouse and my results were basically the same as you, so that means it is a viable alternative. Also the gaming was great to view.

Just ordered mine, gonna take 3-4 weeks to get to Australia but I'm so pumped. Mousing hurting my arm these days

Thanks for putting together such a great review. I've been thinking of switching from a mouse to a trackball for some time now, but had a hard time making sense of the options out there. Between this video and your follow up, this one is looking like it's by far the strongest contender!

been using the logitech trackman marble mouse for a long time. Looking to upgrade to something like this for work. I work in IT so I remote into alot of different systems so using a mouse is most of my job. I messed up my wrist playing playing tennis in college so a regular mouse causes alot of pain for me. Trackballs are my only way of working comfortably.

It's nice to see another trackball user. I've used a trackball for years, for everything from gaming to productivity to simple browsing. For a few years now however, I've been using a mouse since there has been little to no options for trackballs user in the gaming market. I used to use an Expert Mouse, which I consider the best trackball ever made. This Elecom looks promising though.

What a madman, gaming on a trackball :O

Hello I bought the mouse and never had a problem until here recently. My two buttons for the scroll up and down have changing from 3 to 5 button. It only does when I reboot. Please help. I downloaded the latest drivers.

Thank you very much. I've been desperately looking for an alternative to Logitech's M570. I got the random double-click problem after using it for a while. I tried a Perixx wired trackball, but I didn't like it. They improved it with a lower DPI, but I'm going with this Elecom one because of it's size.

I see an n52 =) I still use one today - Ive also been looking for replacement for mst

[djsnipes]

I also used the Microsoft Track ball and had two of them. They both broke because of years of usage. I had to settle for the Logitech Track ball that I'm not that crazy about. Thank you for the review.

[karenmorris]

this was the best review as i too have to replace my microsoft track ball as well.

[silvertech]

Ok do an update review of the mouse or moved to something else?

[JuanSanchez-rbqu]

Wont those ruby bearings erode the ball? you know eventually

I used to have that microsoft explorer trackball mouse for more than 10 years and literally just recently threw it away (in perfect working condition) and found out on Amazon people are selling those used for around $1000. I didn't know I had the best mouse on earth! I used to be a beast at FPS games with that thing

Been using Logitech trackballs for years, they use your thumb for the ball so your fingers still rest in the same position as a normal mouse for FPS. How does this style compare? Thumbs vs Index etc? I'm looking for a new trackball and Logitech lost the plot with the Mx Ergo. I don't often game, mostly dev and video editing
