ELECOM ENORME Trackball muis, 2,4 GHz draadloos, vingerbediening, 8-knops functie, palmsteun bevestigd, 52 mm gladde rode bal, Windows11, MacOS (M-HT1DRBK)

I used to be the biggest fan of the Logitech Optical Trackman Pro. But believe me, this Elecom trackball blows the Logitech out of the water! For starters there are *no moving wheels* like with the Logitech. Meaning less to clean. Secondly, the Logitech always came with one minor inconvenience: a little piece of the right side of the hand which is connected to the wrist (the pisiform) always touched the table underneath the mouse. And the Elecom has a solution for that by providing its own support for the entire hand. Fantastic! It has a lot of buttons, is very configurable, easy to clean, a lot of hardware settings too (DPI, mouse speed) and a lot more. I'm actually happy Logitech discontinued their product, this one will be my mouse of choice for now until forever!

Muis is erg fijn eligt goed in de hand. Alleen net een maand na de 2 jaar garantie de knop stuk. Geen hulp of vervanging. Erg slechte service.

Dit is de eerste en enige perfecte trackball, want hij combineert niet alleen een grote optisch ball met het grootst mogelijke aantal knoppen maar de positie van vingers en duim zijn perfect, wat je bij geen enkele andere trackball vindt. Drivers voor Windows en Mac kunnen worden gedownload, niet voor Linux natuurlijk. Maar had iemand dat verwacht? Een absolute aanrader.

Worked immediately on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine. The function buttons are easily mapped using xinput on the terminal, but the default has the left and right clicks, the scroll wheel, and the trackball working exactly as they should, too.

and linux-friendly

Very happy with this purchase the Elecom Huge is definitely huge, but I have bigger hands so it feels quite nice. All the buttons fall nicely under my fingers and are easily in reach, with the exception of the scroll wheel which I think is a little far back for my thumb, but I have found a way to use the ball for scroll anyway.I did change out the bearings from the stock artificial ruby ones to G5 rated Zirconium Dioxide ones and it makes all the difference, the stock ones are a little scratchy, but also the trackball itself likes to be worn in too. I think its a finish or substance on that ball that takes some use, after a few days of frequent use the smoothness just got even better.I am not using the Elecom configuration software at all, I'm using HID-remapper by jfedor2 on github. Basically it's a Raspberry Pi Pico board that sits inline between any HID device and a computer and remaps any input. It's much much more powerful than what most configuration utilities can do, it supports macros and layers and is configurable with WebHID. All the buttons on this revision of the Huge are now standard inputs, so can be interpreted and intercepted much easier, unlike previous revisions. I've remapped left click to Fn1 and I have another button that toggles the ball to be the scroll wheel, super useful.All the internal switches are common and easily sourced and replaceable, it does come with Chinese Omrons for primary buttons, and the others are commonly found square micro switches. So should the stock ones fail, I know I can replace them all.

Quick Summary: MSTE users who don't have an MSTE - get this mouse as it's the closest "replacement" to date. Obviously, if one wants a mouse like the MSTE, then get an MSTE. But even a used MSTE costs a bit and you have to be careful of the cord. If one wants something Less Expensive that closely resembles the MSTE and is also cordless, then this is the best mouse on the scene since the MSTE itself.Update2: Trying to add some slightly better pictures and others that show the MS Trackball Explorer, Logitech Cordless Optical Trackmall, and the smaller Elecom "DEFT" trackball mouse. But some pictures are not loading to the site. Sorry. :(Update1: IMPORTANT NOTE: Waaay down in the comments (the oldest one at the "bottom" should be a link to the Elecom software download page and the English PDF manual. As this mouse is "very new" you *DO* need a more recent Elecom proprietary software to recognize this mouse if you wish to use it's three proprietary function buttons (F1-F3).Long Winded Review===============This new Elecom Fingerball wireless mouse - the M-HT1DRBK - appears to have been released is June 2017 and has been available on Amazon since July 2017. In August I was about to order a second of the smaller Elecom M-DT2DRBKs when I stumbled over this new **larger** "HUGE" mouse and figured it was worth a try. The M-HT1DRBK just arrived and after giving it a ten minute test spin I just ordered two more. No clue if it will take "1-2 months" for the next batch to arrive, or if the price will drop from $85.99, but would say it is certainly worth the investment. FYI: It actually does say "HUGE" on the mouse itself. :)Comparisons to the MSTE (MS Trackball Explorer)======================================1) It has a nice large "red ball" like a certain MSTE we all know and love. In fact, the Elecom ball is slightly BIGGER than the MS one. There were many reviews about the smaller Elecom mouse's "grey ball" having issues, and several people purchased a "blue" M570 ball to swap with the "grey" one. From my quick tryout of this new mouse with it's "red ball", would say that the quality looks to be significantly better than that of the smaller mouse's "grey" one. An excellent improvement.2) This mouse is *MUCH LARGER* than the smaller "grey ball" M-DT2DRBK. Excellent for people with "larger" (aka normal sized) hands.3) It is a bit wider than the MSTE, and Elecom moved one of the three proprietary "Function Buttons" to the right side of the ball. If you use their proprietary software, this would give you "two buttons to the right of the ball" just like the MSTE.4) MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL. This mouse has a PALM REST. As this seems to be an alien concept to most mouse manufacturers I will state it again - this mouse actually has a place for the palm of one's hand to "rest" while using the mouse, so for the first time since the MSTE, there is actually a trackball that not only fit's one's hand, it is actually COMFORTABLE. Plus it doesn't have teeny tiny thumb-killing buttons like a certain L*git*ch Trackman. Wish I could show a decent side-view of the palm rest, but this can also be seen with via the pics on Elecom's web site.5) ??? I would assume that being a wireless device, there may be an occasional "lag" in response times, but cannot say for certain. However there does appear to be a wired version of this mouse as well. It's part number (August 2017) is M-HT1URBK.Usage=====Bulk of this review was written after only ten minutes of mouse use, so haven't had the time to give it an extended run, but observations so far are positive. "Weeks later" - Still great. Haven't tried the Elecom software yet myself (not using the F1-F3 buttons).- Seems to respond MUCH better than the smaller Elecom version (blue or grey ball).- Range seems to be about the same as the smaller one. About nine feet out it gets tricky and Line of Sight is critical.- The "left" button isn't as "tall" as the MSTE's, so my clumsy thumb is hitting the wheel, but this should be a minor issue.- ??? I read elsewhere that the "left" and "right" mouse buttons are "better quality" than the other buttons, that one should be able to tell the difference, that they should have made *all" the buttons "better quality", etc. Haven't noticed any difference between buttons yet. Too busy enjoying having a wireless mouse that actually fits the shape of my hand for a change.Customization - aka The Buttons========================So far as remapping buttons, "drivers", and support for various operating systems... Would assume this mouse works as a basic mouse in anything from XP up to Win10. You've got your Left, Right, Forward, Back and Wheel Buttons, plus the three Extra Proprietary Function Buttons F1-F3. Remapping the eight buttons and basic customization is where it gets interesting. Would assume one needs at least version 5.1.0 of Elecom's proprietary software to use/control all eight buttons. For now I am sticking with X-Mouse Button Control which allows configuration of everything except the three extra Function Buttons. Both programs allow for the use of multiple profiles for easy customization across different applications. Elecom's software (and English PDF manual) is available from their website. I will try adding possible links as a "comment" later as this review is too long as it is.Odd Future Issue (?)================Since the palm-rest is made of a "soft" material vs plastic, I wonder how it might hold up over time. Will it wear out? Time will tell.

Great comfort, very easy to use. Took me a week or two to completely adapt.I would love if the scroll wheel was infinite like the Logitech MX mouse

Assolutamente in mio Trackball preferito.È stato necessario sostituire i cuscinetti in rubino, davvero poco scorrevoli, con cuscinetti in ceramica G5 da 2,5mm ed inserire degli spessori nella culla della sfera per permettere ai cuscinetti di roteare, per avere un movimento fluido e senza striction.Ovviamente serve un minimo di manualità, e la consapevolezza che cosi facendo si perde la garanzia (a me sembra un prodotto molto resistente, e sicuramente con un costo non eccessivo, quindi ne vale la pena), ma adesso è il TOP!Software molto personalizzabile;Forma ampia e comoda (ma questo può variare da mano a mano);Tanti pulsanti personalizzabili e ben raggiungibili;Scroll verticale preciso e con tilt scroll (quello orizzontale);Diversi livelli di DPI;Due livelli di precisione (immagino sia la potenza del segnare radio) io lo tengo al massimo e la batteria dura parecchio.Insomma, davvero soddisfatto.P.S. Evitate i trackball con sfera per il pollice, la scorrevolezza non dura da Natale a S.Stefano!
