Review: The best computer input device I have used in over 30 years of programming. - This is by far, the best computer input device I have used in over 30 years of programming. And I say this despite a few negatives. That is how good this trackball is. The pros: - The trackball is very large, allowing both rapid movement across the screen and very fine, delicate, movements to move the cursor with great precision. - The scroll wheel is not only adjustable for degree of vertical scrolling, but the wheel can be also moved up and down for horizontal scrolling. Pressing the wheel like a button toggles the page and line scrolling. 5 functions in one wheel. - In addition to the 5 function scroll wheel, there are 7 (more than I have ever seen on this class of device) different buttons so with this device you can perform many different functions. There is software that allows you to set each of the 7 buttons to perform any of several functions, or emulate any key, or any combination of up to 3 keys (like Control Shift K). I set it for Left Click, Right Click, Copy, Insert (Paste), Enter, Delete, and I use one button to call a highly used Macro shortcut key combination. In addition the software allows other settings. - The HUGE (yes that is the name) device is just that. It is brilliantly designed so it fits your right hand (left handers are out of luck) with your wrist on a very soft pad and the trackball and all the buttons are manipulable with your fingers only, No wrist or device movement so the seemingly larger footprint is really the same as or less than the area needed by a mouse. Unlike a mouse however, you do not need a flat or smootth surface for the trackball to rest on. It's fine on a pillow, on youir leg, on the arm of a chair, on a table, on top of a book or newspaper, and can operate at almost any angle. -- I have had very bad luck with wireless input devices as I am very sensitive to the latency time between the movement of the mouse and the movement on the screen. This is not a problem with a USB or otehr wired input defice, but with no wire there is always some latency. The Japanese engineers of this Huge trackball have reduced the latency period so much, that I never even notice it on most movements and it is quite small in the 1 out of 70 or 80 moves where Windows or the Apple OS is adjusting and cleaning up its memory. A first class achievement. There is another problem with most wireless input devices: They are energy hogs. If the battery is not rechargable, you might go through batteries very rapidly and expensively. I almost did not buy this for that reason. This requires 2 AA batteries. I have used mine for over 3 months with the original cheap "no-name" batteries that come with the device. Duracell or other class batieries will last even longer and I cannot yet report on this point, but it cannot be too bad as a pair of batteries will last at least substantially longer than a 3 months. It is important that you use the on-off switch to turn the device off if you are finihsed for a session. I generally turn mine on when I boot up in the morning and do not turn it off until I retire at night -- typically about 14 hours. With that, my batteries have lasted over 3 months, so this is pretty impressive. My great enthusiasm exists despite the following negatives: - The instrcutions are not bad. They are terrible! - The website that you have to go to download the software is also terrible and hard to find your way around. - When you do download the software, it is not intuitive as a Microsoft program would be. So you have to work your way through some trial and error and struggle with the on line instructions. Fortunately it is not that complicated. - I am pretty sophisticated with computers and it took me about 4 hours to finally get the device installed and the software configured. Don't worry at first about how you configure the buttons. Use the factory defaults. Then when you get the hang of it and see how time saving it can be, then play with different configurations of the buttons. The Huge trackball is a little pricey, more than twice what a lower-end, wireless, Logitec mouse costs and about 10 percent more than other upscale devices cost. There are plenty that are more expensive and not as good. But I think that if there was ever a good trade off to pay a little more momey for getting quality and functionality, this is it.
Review: As an MS Trackball Explorer user since The Win98/PS2 days, this is an excellent "replacement" - 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 desertcart 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent versatile trackball. Large ball, reminiscent of Microsoft Explorer.
*by A***R on October 20, 2025*

The ergonomics of a trackball (or mouse, I suppose, if I ever used them) are very personal. What fits one person may not fit another. For a designer, one solution to this problem is to provide several alternative controls and a way for the user to specify what they do. This seems to be the philosophy behind the 8-button Huge model from Elecom. The Huge trackball is indeed fairly huge, and next to my Logitech M570 it seems unrealistically huge. But in fact it's almost exactly the same size as the Microsoft Explorer trackball I used for many years, until Microsoft inexplicably stopped making them. After a few others, most of which relied on clumsy rolling bars and ball-bearing races, which were rough and unresponsive, the optical trackballs arrived, notably the M570. Reluctantly, I decided perhaps my thumb could be as nimble as my index and ring fingers, and to my surprise it worked fine. I settled on that device for several years, but one problem kept recurring -- the microswitches in Logitech products are beyond cheap. They're very short-lived, at least for someone who makes their living on the computer. I've bought 6 of these compact, effective trackballs, and that's just not acceptable quality. Logitech also makes keyboards, which again, I quite like -- except their keycaps are cheap, with painted-on labeling that wears off in a year or so (the home keys, for those who touch type). A nuisance, but blank keycaps don't make the keyboard useless. Double-clicking button switches do. It was time to try another brand, and I bought an Elecom clone of the M570, and it's held up nicely in my studio, which isn't the friendliest place for precision devices. With the good performance of that trackball, I decided to see if my muscle-memory from the finger-style trackball was still functional, so I got the Huge model for my office. To my great relief, I found that switching back from thumb to forefinger control was effortless, and once the big red globe was sitting next to my K780 keyboard, I found myself unconsciously reaching for the ball with my fingers instead of my thumb. Some will disagree, but although the thumb has a bit more freedom of movement, I believe the forefingers have significantly more refinement of sensitivity and movement, and along with the much larger ball that gives me a very useful level of control. I may not convert to finger models for the four other computers I use regularly, but I suspect I can switch back and forth between thumb and forefinger models without a problem -- most of the others are used to control CNC, laser, MIDI, etc., so the pointing device isn't as critical as it is for Adobe apps and extensive writing. The specific features of the Huge are well documented elsewhere -- the buttons and wheel all work fine. I can't yet say whether the switches will last longer than the M570, but it's hard to imagine they wouldn't! Overall, I give the button action and placement a 90% score. The areas for improvement are few, but worth considering: The wheel is great in its own right, but its placement slightly obstructs the default LEFT button, and I would address this by extending the LEFT button outward a little (I might try sticking a layer of plastic on it myself). More significantly, the wheel is also a button, and in its near horizontal placement it's hard for the thumb to press it all the way to a click without bracing the fingers on the opposite side, to keep the whole device from sliding to the right. This is a problem that could only be fixed by using a much lighter spring on the wheel-switch itself. There is a similar "ease of activation" issue with the slider at the bottom left. This is used to select Low, Medium, or High wheel sensitivity, and although it works as expected, actually sliding it is much too difficult for interactive use. I can "deliberately" put it any position, but it's impossible to just "casually" slide it back and forth while actually using the pointer. That means if you need to change resolution for a moment or two and then return to normal, it's just not doable. Unfortunate, but not a big deal for my use. It would have been nice, though, and it seems odd to provide that capability and not make it effortless to slip into the needed gear. Finally, my biggest disappointment. With the M570, my wrist sits squarely on my desk, so it gets uncomfortable pretty quickly, and I resort to various pads, thick and thin, to avoid stressing that bundle of tendons, nerves, and blood vessels exposed on the bottom of the wrist. The Huge, on the other hand (pun intended), has a large wrist support area with a squashy pad on top -- perfect! Except on my unit the pad is only slightly softer than the tread on an automobile tire. It's definitely a pad, softer than wood, but not by much. If I push with my finger on a thick section (about half an inch thick in places), I can with some force get it to collapse about 1/3 of its thickness. But my wrist is a large area and the weight of my hand & forearm is far too little to produce any compression at all. It might as well be solid plastic (or tempered steel) with a thin cloth glued to it. It's only technically a pad. Realistically, it's not. I do wonder if Elecom might have replacements for the pad, perhaps with some compliance or softness. There's no cushioning value in the present one, and I'm even considering peeling it off (if possible) and replacing it with something that's actually soft. I don't know if Elecom reads these reviews, but they would have no way to contact me anyway, so I'll have to try contacting them elsewhere. My conclusion is that I like the Huge very much, I'm very satisfied with the ball action, there are buttons aplenty for my clicking needs, and with luck it will prove much, much more long-lived than the nice (but flimsy) M570 it replaced. I do recommend it highly, with the small caveats mentioned.
