ELECOM EX-G Wired Trackball, my first diversion from Logitech in the trackball world. While Logitech was busy removing a wire from a stationary object, Elecom was out here adding buttons.

I also have a wireless version for travel.

    I very much agree for any situation where wired is practical in terms of distances. It’s even more true for trackballs than mice — I can hypothetically imagine someone who doesn’t like having the mouse cord be in their way as they move the mouse around, but trackballs don’t move around.

    However, there are some cases where one just isn’t that near the computer in question. Say you’re lying on a couch in a living room using something on a projector display. It’d be nice to not have cables trailing across the room, then.

      I am said hypothetical person lol. I like my wireless trackball and keeb because my desk is a mess and i have to keep moving stuff around to work on my drones.

      Having to unplug my mouse every time was getting very annoying. If i was a little more put together it probably wouldn’t bother me at all though.
