I’m not trying to replicate an old favorite so I can’t really say how it compares to other mice, I wanted something new. Back in the day I had a Trackman Vista and swapped over to a wireless regular mouse in the early 2000s. I never really paid that much attention and honestly thought no one used them anymore, but I was excited to see this.
So far I’m very happy with it and I’m glad I pulled the trigger on the Deft Pro.
Reception is good, it’s comfortable to use, feels solid, easy to set up, and it’s got plenty of buttons that are crisp and work as expected. I’ve seen some complaints about the movement being jerky, but the only time I’ve seen that is if I have a dodgy connection or I’m pushing too hard on the ball. It does stick a little sometimes when you try to make tiny movements, but that’s pretty standard for trackballs in my experience and it seems to have gotten worse and then better with use. I’ve been using it to play Kerbal Space Program from my couch and it’s so much better than trying to use a regular mouse on a coffee table or a mousepad on a couch cushion.
My only real complaint was the position of the right button is weird to me since the Trackman Vista had a middle button in that spot, but with their software it was easy to swap the functions with the F-key to the right. To find the software I just googled Elecom Mouse Assistant and easily found the updated English version. I did not receive English instructions in the box, that may be because I got mine (lightly) used but instructions weren’t necessary. It did take me a minute to figure out that the switch on the side is for Bluetooth mode. To pair you slide the switch so blue is showing and then push the connect button on the bottom until the red light by the switch flashes steady.
I’ll update this if anything changes later on, but so far I love it. I may also get a Huge model and see how that one is.

I am leaving a review of the Elecom Huge and Deft Pro after over a week of intensive “testing” of several trackball mice. Let me begin by stating that I am new to the trackball world so these are my observations from that point of view and I’m leaving these reviews in hopes that it will help someone else who might find themself in a similar situation to what I was in a week ago with no experience with trackballs in a world of opinions.
I have mid-sized hands with somewhat thicker “carpenter” fingers and I bought this item to replace a mouse for general and light CAD use. I have a CAD mouse for more intricate work but over the years of design and IT work I’m beginning to develop wrist discomfort. This was the first finger trackball that I tried after testing a Logi M575 that a friend brought over to try for Fusion work. I was hooked on the ball, but I wanted a little more control so I went with the finger style. I found the thumb style to fatigue my thumb joint a little too much.
Right out of the box I was impressed by how relaxed my wrist felt on the Huge. I liked the size of the ball and the smoothness of the scroll wheel. It seemed very intuitive to someone new to the trackball realm. The two things I couldn’t get over were the stretch of the side buttons with my somewhat shorter fingers and of course, what many of the other reviews talk about, the “stiction” of the ball itself. I did like to overall ergonomics, but decided to defer to the Deft Pro for my next try.I found the Deft Pro to be a better fit for my shorter fingers and the ball a little easier to control for more intricate commands in Fusion while cradling it between my first and middle finger and occasionally passing it off to my right ring finger. I also liked the way that my hand relaxed in a “cradle” position over the Deft Pro while allowing me to rest my wrist lightly on the table. The Huge allowed a straighter relaxed wrist on the device overall, but the Deft Pro felt like it was easier to control for smaller movements. Again though, the bearings on the Deft Pro were too sticky for me and I ordered the bearings to replace them as many have suggested, but decided to return both units before I modified them after finally settling on a combination of a much smoother out-of-the box Slimblade pro for general use and a 3dconnexion CAD and Space mouse combo for design work. The CAD mouse has a really nice form factor for a mouse and I was immediately able to find a comfortable relaxed position on the ambidextrous Slimblade Pro. I didn’t have to ‘hover’ on the Slimblade as many reviews have noted. I realize that this type of setup isn’t easy to obtain for a lot of people so I’ll leave with this final word based on my spending a week with all three trackballs. Both the Deft Pro and the Huge are great trackballs and a lot of people like them once they are modified to fix the sticky ball issues. As a CAD guy I didn’t like the click of the Deft Pro scroll wheel and I though that it felt cheap compared to other scroll wheel mice I’ve used, but I could have gotten used to that because of the Deft Pro’s overall precise control factor if it weren’t for the “stiction”. Elecom makes track balls feel intuitive, even for new believers like myself, I just couldn’t get past the quality issues with the bearings right out of the box. I was either going to spend less for a mouse than the price of Elecoms and deal with the issues they might have caused or spend more and get the performance that I was looking for without having to modify a unit right from the start.
These are just my opinions, but I hope this helps someone else who may have been reading reviews for hours, and testing units like I was just to find a suitable replacement.

User friendly

Great comfort, very easy to use. Took me a week or two to completely adapt.
I would love if the scroll wheel was infinite like the Logitech MX mouse

Con i tasti programmabili il lavoro diventa più scorrevole. C’è posto per un tasto aggiuntivo sotto il mignolo. Avercelo sarebbe l’ideale

Great mouse! I really like the smoothness of the movement of the trackball and the buttons give a good response when pressing them. The only thing that I found was that even though I have used trackballs for many years, this layout is a little different. It took me about an hour or so to adjust to it, but once I did I am not switching back to the regular ones. I even bought one for my work desk so that I can use one at both of my desks.
This is a purchase that I will not regret. Worth the price paid and the feel of it is very good.

If read many of the review you will see comments on poor pointer movement. On the one I received I works pretty well will no movement pointer issues. There is an adjustment period coming from a regular mouse and occasionally as you rest your finger on the track ball as you stretch for the other buttons you will move the ball slightly. The has got better with time and is not an issue with the Deft Pro itself. First impression of the mouse are that it is quite big but as its is designed for your whole hand to sit on it is not bad and as mouse itself does not move it does not create space issues on the desk. The buttons themselves are “clicky” but not overly load. Personally, I like the buttons on the Elecom Bitra better. Its pretty well made and the dual wireless dongle and Bluetooth connections provide connection methods that avoid the antique micro USB cable connection. For me I find on the wireless dongle it goes through batteries pretty quickly. I am not sure if I am using rubbish batteries so may get some decent alkaline ones to see how it goes. For a quick comparison to the Elecom Bitra the trackball on the Deft Pro is easier to control, The Deft Pro fits better in your hand but the buttons on Bitra are far better. Overall, a very nice trackball which really needs to be updated to have a USB-C port on the device.

Je n’en suis pas à min premier trackball et c’est le meilleur que j’ai testé jusqu’ici. J’aibde grandes main mais sa taille reste très bonne. Sans fil ou avec tout fonctionne bien et les boutons supplémentaires s’avèrent très utiles.

トラックボール履歴は、1台目は「Kensington ExpertMouse ワイヤレストラックボール」ボールが大きく動かしやすいけど、ボタンの位置と手を置いたときの位置がしっくりこず、また、ボールの周りの回転部分を回すとスクロールになっているが動きが硬く合わなかった。
２台目は評価も高い、ロジクール ワイヤレスマウス M570、親指での操作が合わなかった。ボールの回転もなんか悪い感じがした。
３台目、エレコム M-HT1DRXBK、HUGE、巨大なトラックボール。大玉を人差し指と中指動かす操作が使いやすい。ボタン配置が独特だけど慣れると使いやすい。パームレストの位置が高いので手首が浮く感じだけど机の奥に配置すると安定しているのでクッションもあり疲れはない。7年近く使ったけど、ボタンの反応にエラー（1クリックがダブルクリックになる）症状になり買い換え。
4台目サンワ 400-MAWBTTB138 パームレストの位置が低く手首を机に置いたまま自然な形で使えるのが良かったが、スクロールボタンの反応が悪くストレスになるので買い換え。
5台目、こちらの「DEFT PRO」。手の位置の収まりがとても良い。身長180センチなので手は大きい方。ボタンの配置にぴったりくるし、手首が机に着くので自然な感じになる。ボールも大きい。HUGEに比べると設置面積が少なく机手前にも配置できて使いやすい。ボタン配置はHUGEに近いので違和感なく使えた。スクロールボタンのカチカチ回る感じも小気味よく、チルト機能も改めて便利だと感じた。高級感もあり、また長く使える物に出会えて嬉しく思う。
