Review: Elecom M-HT1DRBK “HUGE” — creamy-smooth, ultra-customisable multifunction ergonomic trackball - Don’t be put off by the reviews on this page, which at first sight are horrifying news for anyone considering buying the Elecom M-HT1DRBK “HUGE” wireless trackball. A third of the purchasers found it unsatisfactory or barely good enough (up to three stars). There clearly is or was once a quality control problem with the artificial ruby bearings for the trackball. On the other hand, two thirds of the buyers are extremely satisfied or even ecstatic, and there is no problem returning an item to desertcart. Besides, the cure for the bearing problem is known, cheap, safe and quick, a ten minute job with a screwdriver and instructions freely available on YouTube. In addition, the choice of solid large, multifunctional trackball mice is basically this Elecom or its sister, the Elecom EX-G Pro, which is built with the same upmarket components, including the ruby bearings. I decided to take the small risk. My Elecom HUGE is one of the good ones (or later ones, if it was a batch problem, now solved), with a creamy-smooth action on the trackball, feather light switches, one heavier switch just where I want it, and a slight stiction on the scroll-wheel which adds to the precision. You’ll see I gave five stars, so count me among the happy customers. If a finer grading were available, my rating would be 4-3/4 stars because one of the switches is too light for it to be ergonomic in that position — for me. Also, the mostly plain black styling with just the big metallic red trackball (diameter 52mm!) and a smidgin of chrome on the scroll-wheel, while intricate and extravagantly curved, in the eyes of an artist like me should have been further relieved of its blackness. So the quarter-star deduction is for personal ergonomic preferences and to mark an overdose of Japanese “professional” styling, a.k.a. too much bloody matt black, not fundamental faults. Obviously, I consider the Elecom HUGE good value for money; the nearest comparable Kensington costs twice as much and offers less. The HUGE is solidly built and feels like quality in the hand. I wonder, however, whether the self-skinned soft polypad which adds so much to the comfort of operating the HUGE will last the decade or more of hard use the rest of the trackball seems good for. (If the memory foam skin does wear while the trackball survives, I’ll glue on tan leather cut to shape.) The ergonomics are excellent, with large, huge and massive buttons, and would suit a hand of any size, including very large hands. The hand is spread across the big expanse of the aptly-named HUGE, with the thumb operating three of the buttons plus the four-function scroll wheel, including yet another button function, which I instantly allocated to the left click because it is heavier and louder than the other switches, in the instance of the left click a very good thing. An ergonomic error — for me anyway — was making one of the assignable buttons, the piano key under my little finger, as light as the others. The little finger is just not as controllable as the other fingers. In fairness, it must be said that the designer apparently intended the ring finger to operate this button, with the little finger being unallocated. I therefore assigned no function to this button. As a result I control the ball with my two middle fingers, which is another big win in precision, especially since the HUGE offers three resolutions (500, 1000, 1500dpi) selectable on-the-fly with a slider button under the thumb, so that you can make pixel-perfect adjustments on any size of screen, useful in making fine art or graphic design, indispensable in engineering work, and even in typing or editing when the cursor needs to be placed precisely but quickly every few seconds. I’ve also reassigned the default left-click thumb button to the Mac’s COMMAND modifier key (the propeller) because it is too easy to press such a large, responsive switch and get unwanted results if a direct action is assigned to it. This trackball is so customisable and feature-rich, it reminds me of nothing so much as a puppy eager to please. A word about the control assignment software: The earlier software has been rewritten and repackaged, including into English, and is now excellent, regardless of what you may read in the reviews here. It is easy to make the basic button assignments, and you can even use the trackball for gestures, similar to gestures on Apple’s Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad. Counting the scroll-wheel’s click and tilt functions as buttons, there are ten buttons, which with the variations and the gesture programmer give no fewer than 160 possible functions. It is well worth spending some time reading the help files for the function allocation software accessible through the software dialogue box. For those with much more intricate needs (games players, perhaps?) I’ve also tested the HUGE with USB-Overdrive aftermarket peripheral management software (free with advertising, $20 without), which is potentially more powerful than Elecom’s free software, but only if you know what you’re doing. On the whole, I think most buyers of the HUGE will find Elecom’s layman-friendly software serves them well. So who is the Elecom M-HT1DRBK “HUGE” wireless trackball recommended for? I’m a writer, an editor, a typographer, an industrial designer, and a painter both in traditional media and digitally. In each of those avocations by itself Elecom’s HUGE would be worth the money and considerably more to me, so for each of them the trackball adds far more convenience than the trivial cost per job. Music and video editing, which I occasionally do, also uses the same facilities and speedy precision. The question isn’t really whether the HUGE is great value for money, but whether each individual buyer would get on better with the HUGE layout of the trackball on top and the scroll-wheel at the side, or with the reverse layout of the sister EX-G PRO, which has the scroll-wheel on top and the trackball at the side, which when you change over to the trackball is a straight transition from the common Microsoft-style mice with a consequent shorter learning curve. Personally, I think the trackball on top with the scroll-wheel on the side, as in the HUGE, offers the best ergonomics — and the learning curve was anyway pretty short. The Elecom M-HT1DRBK “HUGE” is definitely recommended.
Review: Linux Users Take Note – It Works! - Not so much a review but a reassurance for Linux users you’ll be able to program the extra function buttons. Obviously you won’t be able to run the Elecom programming software natively because it’s only designed for Windows and Mac systems. But fear not. I have this “HUGE” trackball as well as the Elecom “Deft.” On both I’ve been able to program in keystrokes and complex macros using “Input Remapper.” The extra function buttons on the trackball will be dead to start with, but you can wake them up and make them do your bidding. I use Linux Mint but Input Remapper is available on most distros through your software manager or installation via the terminal. Input Remapper has a GUI to make things simpler. You can ignore online posts that insist on using the terminal for button programming if you’re not a command-line nerd. There are plenty of resources online demonstrating how to use Input Remapper. Just do a Google search. It’s a bit fiddly til you “get it” but once you understand how the program works you’ll be able to program your trackball buttons to your heart’s content. Long story short using Input Remapper, open the program and select your device to take you to the programming feature. In here you can record your button choices. Create a new input on the bottom left, give it a name. Then hit “Record” and press the mouse button you are wishing to use. Then click Apply. On the bottom right you’ll see your programming options eg Macro or Analogue etc. It’s there you add the commands for your particular button choice. You’d type the desired command(s) there and click “Apply.” It’s not the place here to go into the specifics of the programming, but I’ll give a few tips on how best it’s done. When you name your newly created input on the bottom left, keep it on a “human” level. Eg “DaveRapidFire” or “DaveWorkspaceLeft” and avoid using the names of the physical buttons themselves eg “Fn3” – The reason for this is the program will probably ignore your recorded button press because it thinks a native command is already assigned to it. Avoid using spaces in your command names. Computers don’t like spaces. Fact. Also you may need to give it a few goes. At this stage the program can be less than responsive. Persevere. Close then open again if needed. When you’ve done your research and understand how the commands work and what’s the correct syntax to input multiple keystrokes, use a text editor like Libre Office Writer to type out commands you’ll paste into the macro box. It may take a bit of trial and error, but as an example of using a button to inject the complex password *)2025Pwrd the coding is as follows: modify(Shift_L, key(8)) . modify(Shift_L, key(0)) . key(2).key(0).key(2).key(5).modify(Shift_L, key(p)).key(w).key(r).key(d) In the macro section there’s a dropdown box. Most of the commands available start with “key_” so if you type “key_” then look in the dropdown box you’ll see most of the commands available for your modifications. Just a tip. Set your programming profile to “Autoload.” Always bear in mind these devices have no onboard memory chip. That means they run on software alone that launches in the background after you’ve logged on. From that point onwards all of your button settings will be in full effect during your user session. Hopefully this has been helpful to Linux users. You can at least be assured you can get these devices working the way you want with a bit of a will and a way. All the best with it, and if Elecom are listening, feel free to give me a massive bung for getting Linux users onboard. I await with baited breath…….

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great device but not perfect
*by A***R on 22 March 2026*

Really happy with this, although it's just shy of greatness. It took me a little while to make it my daily driver, taking the leap from an aging Logi M570. Many of the issues I had initially were overcome with more use and getting used to the new, slightly alien muscle memory requirements coming from 35 years of using regular mouses and 3-4 years of using thumbball devices. I did what many people do and immediately replaced the bearings as I found there to be a little too much friction on the the stock ones. However, this wasn't a magic bullet (although a marginal improvement) - my main complaint is that pixel perfect movements, no matter the sensitivity, can be inaccurate - the cursor will jump a little due to drag when beginning movements. I'm not sure whether it'd be possible to completely eliminate this, but it's mitigated by using multiple fingers, using one as a sort of handbrake in a technique I'm struggling to describe. The software is dated but functional, but it could do with a bit of modernising. The only thing that regularly trips me up is using the scrollwheel when holding the left mouse click - this is definitely a little awkward. You could get around this by re-configuring the buttons, but this would be more trouble than it's worth to me. Apart from the criticism above, I really enjoy using this mouse on the daily. I have a fairly normal sized adult male hand, and I'd say this "huge" device is actually just perfectly sized and comfortable. Main usage is work and some gaming applications (good for everything but shooters I'd say) - bought it because I'm a nerd with nothing better to spend my money on, but I'd imagine this would be great for people with RSI etc.
