Owner Reports
A 4.1-star average from 2,035 buyers means most are happy, but a meaningful slice - roughly 15-20% - has at least some complaint. The pattern in the negative reviews matters more than the average itself.
The Budget Angle
At $35.99, the ELECOM EX-G Wireless Trackball Mouse sits well below the $54.12 category average. 13 options are cheaper and 33 are more expensive.
The category leader is the Logitech Ergo M575 Trackball for Business ($44.99, 4.6★, 13,843 reviews). Pricing is essentially the same, so the rating and review-count edge tilts in favor of the top pick.

The Buy/Skip Call
Maybe. Middle-of-the-pack on rating and price, no standout strengths. If a specific feature matches your need (look at the spec list), it's reasonable. Otherwise the top picks are safer bets.
Best fit for:
- Budget shoppers who want functional trackball mice without overspending
Final Take
7.7/10
Below-average rating in a category with several stronger options. Hard to recommend over higher-ranked alternatives unless a specific feature seals it.
