Pros

Price is fair based on the overall reliability so far. Love wearing this new toy on a lanyard. The 1 trackball is an odd size, but i found a replacement on ebay.

There is a bit of a learning curve when switching from trackpads or normal mice, but it works. All the * are programmable to accommodate those keystrokes. One complaint is that you always have to have one of the * bound to left click (doesn't matter w...  Read More

Trackball is very sensitive and it's prone to rattling. Holding it for long periods (1+ hrs) leaves no strain. The trackball rattles too. Elecom is my go-to for rollerball mice.

Looking forward to upgrading my bluetooth dongle soon. The software is in japanese i believe but after installing you can switch it to english in the bottom left corner. It works as a mouse for my android device, it works for presentations and it bein...  Read More

The stand is basically there to hold the mouse when not in use, but it's a little bit precarious. Accuracy wise, it's about the same as when i'm using my logitech thumb trackball for desktop apps.

Quality


The track ball is perfect, scroll wheel is easy to use, trigger buttons are great.


It is very light weight and ergonomic so i can hold it for hours without causing fatigue.


I dropped one a few weeks ago, and now the buttons are completely malfunctioning.


The only real gripe i have with this mouse is that it will not stay on the stand, so the stand itself is pretty much useless wi...  Read More

Price


Paying $60 for a replacement bums me out.


The product should probably be cheaper than the cost.

Shipping


Anyway, their support suggested couple things to try and sent a new trackball in which arrived within a week.


They responded next business day which surprised me based on reviews i have seen.

Competitiveness


This trackball is much better than the cheaper alternatives.


I have used mainly logitech and kensington trackballs and their bt ranges seem to be further than elecom and my new pc has ante...  Read More


The other issue is that the bluetooth connection interferes with airpods.
