Elecom huge. Tons of programmable buttons + Advantage2 and keyboard macros. It's what you really need, even if it doesn't look cool. Keyboard macros own.

im looking at those elecoms since my logitech marble wireless left button is worn, they look like a great replacement considering everything new for logitech is thumb trackball now and i have no dexterity with them

This elecom site is great.

"Sound is curious place, but adopts silent Switch usable calmly. By deisign which came out of shape of the hand, we realize good point of further 'grip feeling'."

It's good. I wish the plastic were a bit thicker, but outside that, blows the m570 out of the water. I tried a Kensington Expert, which I also liked, but the wrist angle it had me at wasn't working out for me. Also:

Ultimate pointer flattery performance

We adopt large artificial ruby of 2.5mm in diameter to support ball, and a feeling of chastity ball improves only thing that the surface is smooth markedly by using support ball of highest grade quality that selected carefully. In addition, support ball becomes hard to be buried among garbage such as dirt from the hands by support ball being large, and maintenance frequency decreases.

I bought this keyboard after seeing it on an episode of Tekzilla. The price is very high for a keyboard that doesn't have alot of news about it but to me it was worth every cent. I use the keyboard for work. I was able to program a custom layout myself very easly. I added macro strings to speed up the process of captioning photos. I also was able to change the functions of the number keypad of the keyboard. I changed the + into a tab and the - into a space bar the / into ' for the foot mark and so on. It increased my productivity so much that it paid for it's self in less than a month. I have had this keyboard for over 6 months and use it 9 hours a day 5 days a week and I have had no probiblems with it. It did take some getting use to sence the keys are alot bigger than a standard keyboard. And the keys feel differant also. It took only a few days to get use to the new keyboard. I am going to get another for my home office and to use as a backup for my work keyboard in case I ever do run into a probiblem with this board. I have became dependant on the board so much I'd hate to think what it would be like with out it.

thirding, my first was the cheaper logitech usb marble and its still a good temp one if you dont want to spend much

its a bit like learning again for fine motor control, but probably not as much if youre used to trackpads? its neat when you figure it out because then you can adjust your acceleration lower and just spin the ball to move the mouse further so you get crazy precision like playing old arcade games

These things arre possibly the biggest ripoff ever. Super lovely build quality, poor latency, and they only let you control a fraction of the actual features of the grading software. I used to use davinci resolve every day and the Element panel we had was so useless that I made controllermate mappings to just click through the menus and put my mouse over the sliders I needed to adjust. My time to grade a timeline was cut in half

Two track balls, one for the right hand, one for the right hand. High DPI on one and low DPI on the other for optimal track balling.

I want a throttle control like you'd find on an airplane, but when you push it forward in increases the sensitivity of your track ball.
