Review on πŸ–±οΈ ELECOM 2.4GHz Wireless Thumb-Operated Trackball Mouse, 6-Button Function with Smooth Tracking, Precision Optical Gaming Sensor - Black (M-XT3DRBK) by Jean Donjuan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I thought it would be great for gaming. No, that is not so.

I used to be right handed but after a stroke I have to do almost everything with my left hand. I was surprised to find a true left-handed mouse. I figured that with all the extra buttons it could be used to play games. Unfortunately it isn't. The mouse is made in Japan and the company has no real market for its products outside of Japan. I was able to install the program from their website after trying a little and getting some help from google. Unfortunately, the mouse is really not suitable for gaming. The ability to assign keyboard shortcuts (W, S, A, D) to different keys didn't work at all. And the trackball is a problem for many other users. Even after cleaning the body where the ball sits and the ball is fine, it quickly becomes difficult to roll the ball smoothly. Didn't try to get the Logitech ball like others have, with mixed results. I believe that your product should work right the first time and not mix and match parts for mother mice. At first I had high hopes, but in the end it didn't work out at all.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
