Elecom is the only brand that offers a left-handed trackball – the Elecom M-XT4DRBK Wireless Trackball. (It must be noted that left-handed users can also get an ambidextrous trackball, which is symmetrical so can be used both by left- and right-handed people.)
The ELECOM (M-DT2DRBK-G) Wired Finger-Operated Trackball Mouse Series 8-Button EX-G model all has 5 buttons, although the XT3 model’s 6th button function may have been specified when the Elcom Deletion function was omitted and the mouse assistant assign “function”. Although the Elcom product is not a “perfect” replica of Microsoft Trackball, it is practically the equivalent. I have been using the Elecom mouse for a few weeks now and it is both easy to use and comfortable.

ELECOM (M-DT2DRBK-G) Wired Finger-Operated Trackball Mouse review is coming from a 16 year Microsoft Trackball Explorer user… I never thought that I would be able to find a replacement for my beloved old trackball. I took a chance on this Elecom unit and I am pleasantly surprised! The ball spins much more smoothly than my MTE, almost too smooth. I thought that I’d have issues with the right-click button being in a different spot than what I’m used to and to be honest, it’s not bad at all. I can see myself adjusting to it easily. If I could find a fault, the body is a bit too small. It doesn’t impact normal usage that badly but when it comes time to hit one of those small buttons with accuracy, the smallness gets felt for sure. If you are looking for a similar product to Microsoft’s trackball, try this one out. It is the closest thing to what many feel is the holy grail of trackballs.
Years ago, I used the Microsoft trackball that was similar to this one. When they discontinued that, I used the Logitech version that was almost as good. I used those, buying a new one every 12-18months because they didn’t seem to last longer than that but it was the only trackball on the market even close to what I needed. When it was discontinued, I was in a panic. I couldn’t afford to pay the $600 the few remaining goes for.
I tried every similar product I could get my hands on. My wrist can’t take moving a standard mouse around, plus, once you’ve adjusted to a finger-driven trackball, you can’t help but realize how much less efficient it is & how much longer it takes to move your whole arm rather than flick your fingers across the ball. ELECOM (M-DT2DRBK-G) Wired Finger-Operated Trackball Mouse seemed every other finger drive trackball out there was made for men with extremely large hands.
Mind you, my hands aren’t tiny. I’m 5'8 & I’d say my hands are probably slightly larger than the average American woman. However, the other finger-driven trackballs I found were so large I couldn’t reach all of the buttons at once (or even close) and they hurt my hand. Some of them I couldn’t even rest my hand on without discomfort. I ordered & sent back almost half a dozen different trackballs.
I decided I was beaten and ordered the Logitech thumb-driven trackball & used that for a year. A long, miserable year. My thumb hurt, but worse, the thing was cumbersome to use. The accuracy was so horrible I probably shouldn’t even refer to accuracy & that thing in the same sentence. Not Logitech’s fault entirely, it’s just the nature of thumb-driven trackballs. It’s much easier to be precise with your pointer finger/middle finger than it is with your thumb.
Moving across the screen was slow & plodding. With an ELECOM (M-DT2DRBK-G) Wired Finger-Operated Trackball Mouse Series 8-Button, my fingers dance on the ball, where one runs out of room the other takes over seamlessly. My thumb has no partner, and therefore I had to pick up & reposition my thumb to get all the way across the screen. Horrible. A former WoW addict & all-around gamer, I had to quit playing any game that wasn’t largely keyboard controlled (fewer of those around these days) because not only did I suddenly suck at it, it HURT. Even simple games, if they required lots of mouse work, I couldn’t do it. My thumb was aching, so out of frustration, I was writing again on Logitech’s forum, begging them to bring back my trackball or a re-imaged version thereof & came to Amazon to make sure I was getting the name of their old trackball right. Amazon, lovely, wonderful Amazon, suggested this trackball. Angels sang & I ordered it on the spot.

Product Update:
Best points about this mouse: * Index tracking (I prefer over thumb). * Scroll wheel. * Attractive. * Ergonomic. * Programmable buttons (used mine for browser forward/back and volume control). *Runs on a single AA battery. Other features that are less important to me: tilt scrolling, easy-to-access switch to change tracking DPI without interrupting use. For folks who miss the Logitech cordless Trackman, this ELECOM Wired Finger-Operated Trackball Mouse DEFT Series 8-Button really is a fine replacement, and in many ways, it is actually an upgrade from my old favorite.
