Pros

Ymmv. Best way to get the old ones out is the tip of a pen and gently pry up from the bottom. Place ball on top and gently apply pressure until you hear all 3 click into place. A little glue solved the problem.

Quality


The oem steel bearings we're mostly flat (after 15yrs of rolling) and these gave the trackball a definitive smooth rolling ball.

    My elecom deft pro track ball is not very smooth and the ball movement choppy

    The ceramic bearings on my kensington orbit trackball went missing at some point which resulted in the ball getting completely scratched and making the trackball all but unusable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The main upgrade is that i can make much smaller movements with the trackball with littletono skipping

    Im not one to spin it super hard so i cant really speak to how much it rolls now compared to with ruby bearings


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Tldr much smoother smaller movements possible


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I am using a new elecom deft pro so not broken in and in the clip i attempt to make slow fine movements but youll see it is kind of jerky making it difficult if youre trying to just move the pointer pixel by pixel
