Description
✅《OPTICAL TRACKING TECHNOLOGY》The ELECOM trackball provides precise cursor movement for superior accuracy so you can get where you want on the screen quickly with less hand movement, improving productivity and efficiency. ✅《FUNCTIONAL 6 BUTTONS》It is very easy to move in any direction. It comes with 6 physical buttons on the device and the two extra buttons are the scrollwheel tilting that allow horizontal scroll. ✅《DPI CURSOR》Designed with a high-performance gaming optics system sensor and lens. The DPI button can easily change between 500(LOW) and 1500(HIGH) DPI, making the movements of your cursor faster or slower. ✅《EASY MAINTENANCE》The ball rolls on three 2.5 mm large artificial ruby ball bearings. They are extremely smooth and the relatively large size prevents dust and dirt from clogging them. So you don’t have to clean the ball bearings too often. The ball is held in place by the ball bearings, but can easily be popped out of the device, by pushing it through the hole in the bottom and it can be easily cleaned. ✅《PRODUCT DETAILS》System requirements: Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11 or later (Horizontal scrolling function is not working in Windows RT8.1), macOS 10.10 later, Size: W3.7"(94.7mm) X L4.9"(124.4mm) X H1.9"(47.9mm), Weight: 4.5oz(without battery), DPI: 750/1500 count (switchable), Connectivity: wireless, 1 X AA battery(Included)- Battery Remaining Light Lamp equipped.

Customer reviews
Excellent trackball for not much money.
Bought this as the switches in my 1st generation Elecom wireless trackball (M-XT1DRBK) started playing up. It was far easier to buy a new mouse, and I'm damn glad I did. The external design hasn't changed from Gen1 - they physically look identical - save for the forward and back buttons, which are now of a lower profile. This is a good thing - it was a fantastic thing to hold in the first place. Popping the trackball out reveals the artificial ruby bearings, which are much larger than the ceramic ones previously used. Having only used it for a day I can say that the movement is more positive, albeit a bit scratchier. A bit of PTFE on the bearings might fix that. No comment on maintenance intervals yet as I haven't had it for long enough - Gen1 lasted about a week or so before needing cleaning so I expect this to last longer. The two biggest changes in terms of feel are the switches for left/right click, and the scroll wheel - these are the reasons I'm glad I upgraded. The switches weight are perfect, being a little on the heavy side, with a loud and tactile engagement. Blows Gen1 out of the water in this aspect, even when they did work properly. The second change - the scroll wheel - is minor but makes a huge difference. Since the first day I got the Gen1 trackball the scroll wheel always drove me up the wall, as the scroll wheel had a lot of play; it would move up and down whilst scrolling, and when clicking it would move forwards, and therefore never delivered consistent performance or positive feedback. The new scroll wheel is much better though, despite the wheel itself not changing. Overall this is a great option for a thumb trackball, and is very reasonably priced for what you get. Better than previous generations AND the M570. The Logitech MX Ergo would have to deliver unbelievable performance to top this.

Great replacement for the Logi M570
If you are looking for a replacement for the Logitech M570, do yourself a favor and pick up this trackmouse! Keep the blue trackball from the M570 and put it in this excellent device. The only issue I've had with this Elecom is its inferior black trackball. I'm a website designer/developer and I've been through countless various trackball and regular mice and this is my favorite thus far. I almost spent $100 to pick up the new Logi Ergo but opted for this device due to quality issues I've had with other Logitech devices (M570 click issues mainly). I'm glad I went with this. It feels very sturdy and ergonomic compared with the M570. After a day of use, I attempted to go back to my M570 to compare them and it's a night and day difference. The Elecom feels much better in the hand and the buttons are very responsive compared with the M570. You can download the english version of the Mouse Assistant Software to map your buttons. I recommend the following mapping (At Least it works well for my web designing needs): Keep all buttons the same (Forward, Back, Left, Right) and map the Left Scroll Tilt to CUT - Right Scroll Tilt to PASTE - Scroll Click to ENTER and sixth button (the third button on the right) to Application Switcher.

This has become my daily driver
This mouse is cheap and it works very well. I have been using it for about two months now everday on the H setting, which drains the battery faster, but the supplied battery hasn't given out yet. The bearings take a little bit to break in though and I have to wipe out grime and gunk on occasion. I used dry lock lube to initially get it rolling smooth but now I'll clean out the gunk and it gets rolling again. Sometimes I use the oil on my nose to lube the ball, it's a little gross and does cause a bit more gunk build up but it is free and effective. The third mouse button isn't mapped to anything, but I heard an old hardware revision of the trackball came with it mapped as a "sniper button", meaning that the mouse speed is reduced when the button is held. I haven't downloaded their driver utility to map a it to a function since I'm running linux. For gaming it works, but due to years of using a standard mouse I'm not as good at using the trackball as I am using a standard mouse. I'm still practicing and getting better every game. I play casually and I'm already bad at games so no one really notices anyway ;) I would recommend this to any one who is looking for a thumb trackball.

Works with Mac OS 10.13
To start with, I bought this after returning a Logitech M575 which doesn't work with my older Mac OS. Logitech can't be bothered to support Mac OS 10.13. Once I downloaded the software for this, the buttons can all be programmed easily. This replaces a Logitech M570, which I loved and used for many years until it finally started to fail. I was pleasantly surprised that the Elecom EX-G fit my hand even more comfortably than the M570 ( I am a male with fairly large hands). There was an initial problem when the trackball wouldn't work at all, but this was due to the battery that came with it being completely flat. I can't remember ever testing a battery before that had 0 volts on the multimeter. I debated whether to subtract a star for this, but decided not to because of its superior functionality and ergonomics. It has only been one day so far, but hopefully it will last a long time, because I really like this trackball.
