ELECOM HUGE Plus Wireless Ergonomic Trackball Mouse — 52mm Ball

Customer reviews

1. R Richard Mitchell 5/5

   Extremely ergonomic and comfortable for long use

   Just started using the HUGE Plus and I’m impressed by its comfort and functionality. The large ball gives precise control with minimal hand movement, reducing wrist strain during long sessions. The roomy palm rest and ergonomic shape let the hand sit naturally, and the many programmable buttons speed up workflows and app navigation.

2. C C B 5/5

   Exceptional multi-device trackball for large hands

   Expensive but covers everything I need. Switching between devices is seamless and the 52mm ball fits my large hands perfectly—smaller hands might find it oversized. Button placement feels natural and the build seems solid. Clicks and the ball are whisper-quiet, and the ball is easy to remove for cleaning. Downsides: no native Linux app and no onboard profile memory.

3. J John 3/5

   Great functionality, disappointing battery longevity

   The device does everything I wanted compared to the original HUGE, but the battery life is much shorter than I expected. The performance is excellent, just wish the charge lasted longer.

4. C chandos 5/5

   Solid replacement for older Kensington trackballs

   Switched from a worn Kensington Expert and prefer this unit. The ball rides on bearings instead of static pads, so it moves more smoothly and needs far less frequent removal for cleaning. Works well in Photoshop and has helped with my carpal tunnel when used with a wrist rest.

5. R Rustjaw 4/5

   Great improvements — scroll wheel still needs work

   Most things are much improved: the ball glides far better than the older model, clicks are quiet and tactile, and the rechargeable battery is convenient. However the scroll wheel still lacks distinct detents; it feels mushy and doesn’t give the pronounced click feedback many of us prefer. Love the mouse otherwise, so four stars from me.

6. 田 田中ボンバー 5/5

   Expensive but very satisfying

   I used an ELECOM DeftPro for about five years until the right click failed, so I bought this finger-operated trackball. It’s pricey but the feel and click quality are excellent; the silent clicks add a premium touch. I’m hopeful onboard button profiles will arrive so I can use it more easily on company machines.

7. D David Sirois 5/5

   Changed how I work — much less wrist strain

   After discovering this from a video I tried my first trackball and it’s been transformative. My wrist pain has eased, the button set is useful, and the three pairing options are more reliable than my previous wireless mouse. Linux users should note some F-key limits, but on most systems it’s a genuinely helpful device.

8. R Raymond O'Connor 1/5

   A single poor switch ruins the experience

   Lowering my rating because the mechanical slider for switching devices is awkward and impractical for quick workflows. The rest of the hardware is fantastic, but that switch undermines the usability so much that it negates many strengths of the design.

9. A Alonso Moreno 5/5

   Pleasant upgrade over the original HUGE

   Better than I expected — a strong update to the HUGE lineup and a noticeable step up in feel and functionality.

10. S swinogrodzki 5/5

    Finally a smooth bearing trackball for precision use

    This feels like a commercial-grade roller-bearing trackball. It’s pricey, but durable trackballs are rare buys. Coming from many models, this delivers a satisfying DPI range and very smooth tracking thanks to the roller bearings and large ball. Good for both productivity and gaming-style pointer demands.

11. C cian 2/5

    Missing ruby bearings and noisy rollers

    It’s nearly what I wanted from the Plus, but the ruby bearings shown in images were not included and the roller bearings are loud and cause the ball to catch or jump, which hurts both noise levels and usability.

12. K Ken 5/5

    Initial stiction wears in — ergonomics are personal

    At first the ball had noticeable stiction, but after some use and minimal lubrication the bearings smoothed out very well. Palm slope is quite steep; if you change hand positions a lot you’ll like the extra room, but those needing full palm support may find it less suitable. Click feel is the most important part—this model gets that right for me.
