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.
Review: Amazing product, love the feel! - I love this, I have both wired and wireless versions, the former being used with my desktop computer and the latter my laptop. This has the feel of my old Microsoft TrackMan, and works very well. I'm a gamer and for me it's much easier to use than a mouse (and doesn't aggravate my carpal tunnel as much). It's simple to connect using the provided dongle that plugs into a standard USB port, and the dongle stores tightly in the bottom of the unit, so minimal chance of it coming loose and getting lost. It's plug and play, so for basic use you can use the Windows (I haven't tested it on a Mac) default mouse driver to adjust button assignments, but the manufacturer has it's own software that gives you far greater flexibility. If you have either version of this unit (wireless or wired), and travel with it, I highly recommend getting the Hermitshell case (search desertcart for M-HT1DRBK) to protect it, you won't regret it. I've been using the same case since 2018 when I bought my first of these trackballs, and it's still in fantastic shape. Note: If you have the wired version you just have to coil the cord on the bottom of the unit. The fit will be tight, but it does work. The only downside to this unit is that it will eat batteries if you have it on high performance mode. It would be much nicer if it had an internal rechargeable battery. I'm not taking anything off for that as it works perfectly well for me in the standard mode (I don't compete in e-sports any longer, so no need for high precision), and I get about 4 months out of a 1 set of batteries. It might be longer if I didn't forget to turn it off occasionally. This is a product I highly recommend, or I wouldn't have purchased 4 of them (2 of each over the years). This was a replacement for one that I'd had for a couple of years, but it got dropped and the buttons broke, otherwise I think it would still be going strong.

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic mouse held back by software issues
*by E***R on May 22, 2023*

I have been using the Elecom HUGE daily for about two years. I use it for work (software development) and gaming. The forefinger-operated trackball is quick and precise, and the programmable buttons are stupendously useful (eg, I usually map them to keys I'd press with my right hand). Elecom provides their own software, MouseAssistant, for customizing the five "extra" buttons (Fn1, Fn2, forward, back and the "pinky button". You can set different button configurations for different applications, creating a new "profile" per game or productivity application you use. Unfortunately, a number of bugs have plagued the mouse and its software for years, going unaddressed even as Elecom continues to make updates to support new models: - After rebooting the PC, the wireless dongle must be re-attached in order to use the mouse. - Wireless click latency is rather poor; it seems the wired HUGE is a better option for gaming applications. Notably, the HUGE's receiver dongle becomes much more reliable when placed at the end of a USB extension cable (this seems to reduce EM interference from the PC). - The MouseAssistant application experiences long delays when opening and when allocating mouse button profiles to applications. - Per-application configuration does not always take effect, requiring the user to switch focus between windows or open MouseAssistant in order to apply the correct mouse behaviors. - Per-application configuration does not work if the MouseAssistant application has been left open. - Arbitrary key functions configured in MouseAssistant are unrecognized by certain applications. (I haven't noticed this problem in a while, though).
