    "Huge" mouse that won't disappoint

    When they say "Huge", they most definitely mean huge. By far the largest mouse I've owned. But the quality seems excellent. Buttons are plentiful and easy to reach. Control with the trackball becomes very good with a bit of practice. I like the scroll wheel on the side, it feels more natural once you get used to it. The button click is much softer than a lot of mice I've tried, a nice plus when my wife is sleeping in the same room. And in spite of being large, the mouse design is very ergonomic and feels good in your hand. Would definitely recommend and buy again.

    Different and with problems

    I am a long time user of the Logitech MX 1100 and I had never even heard of a trackball mouse. But when I heard about the ELECOM Huge, I gave it a try. I used it for four weeks to give myself a good chance to get used to it and then went back to the Logitech. My impressions: - the "Left" button is pressed with the thumb & I got used to that. But the button gave very poor feedback: the audible & tactile click sometimes occurred without a "Left" signal being sent. Which would require a repeated press. Also, if the signal was sent, but there was a delayed software response, I might click again, thinking that the signal hadn't been sent. The unreliable signalling made double clicks especially problematic. It's a large button and where I put my thumb could affect this problem. - the scroll wheel is worked with the thumb instead of the index finger and I got used to that, too. The wheel's big problem is the "flying scroll". If turned on, the flying scroll is activated by rapid movement of the wheel and the scrolling becomes continuous. The problem is, if the sensitivity is set to 1 (most sensitive), it flies too easily, very often when I didn't want it to and requiring me to stop it. If set on 2, it never flew, except occasionally and unexpectedly. Without the flying, scrolling was exceedingly slow. - a really big problem for me was the shape and placement of the auxiliary buttons ("Forward", "Backward", & Functions 1 - 3). I reprogrammed them all, but their use was difficult in that it often required my attention to find the button that I wanted. I.e., my fingers didn't know where the buttons were because their shapes and positions were not distinct enough. This ambiguity often led to the wrong button being pressed. - the "Scroll left" and "Scroll right" buttons (tilt scroll wheel left or right) were often accidentally pressed when doing a fast or long scroll. - I have a long hand (8-1/8") and the Huge was supposed to be well suited to large hands. I did not find that to be true. First, my hand was supported only at the base of my palm & I had to hold the rest of my hand in the air. This became painful across the back of my wrist. Second, my hand didn't find a consistent registration, often rotating clockwise so that my thumb was farther forward. This contributed greatly to my not having accurate access to the buttons. So ... I consider this to be a $85 trial and I don't regret trying it. But, as I said, I did not find the Huge to be an acceptable replacement for the MX-1100.

  • High quality, high price, but still stick-slip problem with the sphere motion.

    Cons: Stick-slip effect: -This ELECOM trackball has a higher stick-slip effect than my Logitech M570. The stick-slip means that the effort to start rolling (stick) is relatively high, compared to the continuation effort (slip). Thus, it's difficult to make a small motion of the pointer. You need to make a bigger force to start moving from rest than to maintain the motion of the pointer. This means that when you need to move the pointer just 1 millimetre you will overshoot accidentally to 2 or 3 millimetres because that higher starting force is excessive for the lower continuation effort. Therefore you "slipped" because of initial "sticking" of the sphere. The "left-button" is to low because I have to excessively open the thumb, instead of a more relaxing "pinching" state. The mouse is a bit heavy to be used as a laptop portable pointer device. Pros: The buttons clicking mechanism is good, specially for the two main buttons. The wrist rest is quite soft (although it doesn't fill a bigger hand). The finishing and build quality is the highest I found.

  • Good and bad points.

    Well overall the feel and the size of the trackball is great. The button placement is very good as well. But the driver software stinks. It is not compatible with windows standard drivers. It give a fault that it can only use standard mapped buttons. There in lyes the biggest problem. The only Luther reason to purchase this trackball is to be able to remap the buttons to your own preferences. As there are a total of ten switches each of these should be able to be remapped. And after removing all of the mouse drivers that I have on my machine this mouse’s driver still will not work. And the tech support stinks. The company says sorry we cannot help you no mater what the issue is. Logitech is a great company but they have discontinued the production of a trackball I have been using for over a decade. And their software is compatible with other mice that are connected to my machine with no problems. So purchase this trackball with caution. The ergonomics are fantastic. Driver sucks.

  • Awesome trackball.

    It's hard to find finger style trackballs these days. I've been using microsoft explorer trackballs (Which now go for about $180) forever. I have 2 ones, that function perfectly. Even though my trackballs work awesome, when I saw this, I had to give it a shot (There have been other finger trackballs around, but they seem to always get discontinued). There is nothing better than a finger trackball with lots of buttons. Awesome for games. The soft pad on it is really nice to have. I'd have to say, this is the best trackball I've ever had. It's so nice having it wireless as well. I use it with a laptop on my couch, now I don't have to fumble with unplugging a USB cable when I take my laptop to the shitter. I hope the keep making theses for a while. UPDATE - Holy Crap. I just realized the wheel tilts from side to side. So in summary. You have a large trackball, one button to the left of the wheel, two on the right, the wheel clicks rolling up, the wheel clicks rolling down, the wheel clicks when pushed in, THE WHEEL CLICKS LEFT AND RIGHT when you tilt it, plus the 4 buttons on top. So in total, this thing has 12 BUTTONS...WOW. Plus that switch to change resolutions for slow medium fast on the fly.

  • Convienent to have controls at my fingertips

    Install went well. Operation is straight forward. The ONLY reason it did not get 5 starts is the utility program needs to be redesigned. When opened it places the SAVE button below the screen bottom and is not adjustable. Only way to save is to change screen to protrait, save, and return to landscape.

  • Great trackball for people with large hands

    I really like this trackball. The ball itself is large and moves smoothly, and I find the hand rest and buttons very ergonomic. It's worth noting that I have reasonably large hands (182cm tall guy), which seems to fit in with other people's reviews. If you're more petite then maybe it would be too big. I also like the programmable buttons, which are useful for my work, although I had to do a little digging to find the latest version of the Elecom mouse assistant to actually be able to program them. This seems to be because the trackball is not officially sold outside of Japan, so you need to go to the Japan download page to get the right version. I'm a big fan of the ball and button placement. The buttons especially fall nicely under the thumb, and have a good scroll wheel which is often lacking in other trackballs. The ball placement makes it a fore and middle finger usage, which works for me. I know there are some other people who prefer to use their ring fingers, and that's not going to work well with this product. Build quality is really good, everything is very solid and well put together. Overall I have no complaints at all, would definitely buy again.

  • Precise, smooth, comfortable. OSX driver compatibility could be improved

    This is a great trackball, it is very smooth and accurate. It takes a couple weeks to get used to the layout and hand position though, especially after using Logitech products. Solidly built, and the palm resting area is a gel pad which further enhances comfort. Would have been 5 stars if driver compatibility for programmable buttons was better on OSX. Back and forward navigation on Safari does not work.

  • Worth the $40 I spent on it

    Some of the buttons are not easily used, the smaller version DAFT was a better button lay-out for me, plus the DAFT I bought could be used with or without the cord. The HUGE is a better size but it can only be used wireless,

  • Best trackball on the market

    Top-Notch! It does take a bit to get used to. But within a day or two, it's like second nature. I'm still getting used to the super small movements within the design but it's going well and I am having fewer problems with wrist pain etc. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new more ergo mouse!
