What are my options for a thumb trackball for gaming?

Hardware Recommendations Asked by Gram on August 27, 2021

I have used the Logitech M570 for years, however when I compare the DPI on it to normal modern gaming mice it seems lackluster. I also would like to use all my fingers for buttons in games that require a lot of different keys and I can’t help but feel they are wasted on the two + scroll that the mouse has.

I have also ordered a Japanese mouse call the Elcom M-XT1URBK with the promise of more DPI options and more buttons. Although I did like the way it was wired and I do currently use it I found three issues that lead me to look for other options:

  • The extra button just slows down the trackball so movement can allows for more precision but is hard-coded and can not be key-bound.
  • The mouse acts like it has mouse acceleration that makes gaming harder. (I may be wrong about this but so far it looks like it.)
  • The size is small I find my hands cramping after a few matches of an intense game (about an hours use). My older “M570” mouse did not do this.

What are my options for a thumb trackball for gaming (aside from the two listed)?

One Answer

If you liked the Logitech M570 they now have the MX Ergo Plus, it has received favorable reviews with some minor complaints; price being the biggest concern.

There's also the Elecom M-XPT1MRBK for a lower price, receiving favorable mention in the above review. The red trackball isn't for show, it improves the sensor's tracking.
