Elecom EX-G Pro vs ELECOM HUGE

What else can I say about these guys, the battery life is pretty incredible, I'm not sure if there's an auto off feature, but there very well could be...

The biggest issue, and the reason I sent it back, was the stickiness of the trackball movement. There was nothing I could do to get it to roll smoothly from a stopped state, it would always jerk, making precise movements impossible. Not only was this not good for gaming, but even something as simple as copy and paste were difficult to use with this mouse.

For those who care about the "spin factor" of a trackball -- how long the ball will freely spin if you give it a good flick -- I will note that my unit has some spin, but not as much as a broken-in m570. Ergonomics are substantially different than the previous Elecom thumb balls. This model adopts a wider, flatter, slightly longer shape that allows my hand to rest in a somewhat more neutral position compared to the curled-palm grip of the Elecom M-XT3. Compared to the M-XT3, my pinky now rests on the right edge of the mouse instead of on my desk, and my wrist and heel of my hand are elevated slightly off the desk by the extended palm rest

ahhhhh Dear designers, the reason the MS explorer & the logitech trackman worked for different hand sizes was because it allowed the hand to curl around the device more like your smaller version rather than forcing the hand flat & spread. The larger exposed ball is almost perfection but if it weren't recessed into the body of the device it would also help make it easier to use for a wider range of hand sizes. I cannot strongly enough express my gratitude that this company is trying. Please please please - keep trying

Maybe I just got lucky, but I suggest others do the same: wait to test the mouse yourself before ordering any possibly unnecessary additions for it. My main gripe with the mouse, and the reason I'm deducting a star, is for a problem I had not at all anticipated and saw no one else complaining about: the width of the mouse overall and the narrowness of the main left button. Because of the width of the mouse, I have to angle it to the right a little more than I'm used to, to have my thumb comfortably centered on the trackball in a way that allows for the most accuracy; and because of that and the narrowness of the left-click button, I'm always accidentally pressing one of the two buttons that are crammed to the left side of it. This isn't too much of a problem for every day use, such as browsing the web, but can be a bigger issue when playing some games

As odd as this sounds, my hand is too big for this trackball. The heel of my palm sits at the very edge of the palm rest, and I have to do an awkward claw type grip to position my fingers over the ball and buttons. I'm sure this would be very comfy with a smaller hand, but for me it was just not usable. For reference, my hand is about 7

Today I had to move it to a different port for it to be recognized. When it is actually connected the mouse works well, it is very responsive and quick, although the buttons are prone to accidental pushes at even the lightest of touches. On the subject of the buttons two of them are in awkward positions which makes them hard to activate when timing is of the essence. Additionally not all the buttons are programmable, and even then they are subject to specific commands allowed by the software

As you move back on the button the force changes to where it won’t click at all. This does tend to slow me down when working, as I have to find the sweet spot to click. The thing is, that is just opposite of the so-called Button #5. The rear of the button is easier to click than the front, go figure

Easier than the Huge and Deft Pro, but not perfect like the movement of the Logitech M570 and Ergo. Weight: This is maybe an ounce more than the Logitech M570, but it slides on my desktop much more easily. This means that it doesn't work all that well for gaming because I tend to twist the mouse around a lot under pressure. I need something that will stay put better

Pretty heavy. If you drop it, the mouse is sturdy enough that it's not likely to break, your toes may not be so lucky. Be careful. 3
