Our Verdict

ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK

GameBall Mouse

The GameBall Mouse and the ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK are both stationary trackball mice, but the GameBall performs is designed primarily for gaming while the ELECOM is designed for productivity tasks. The GameBall connects wirelessly and uses a pair of AA batteries. It also has a higher polling rate, which is useful for smoother-feeling cursor movements, especially on higher-resolution displays. Unfortunately, its click latency is high compared to more conventional gaming mice, making it poorly suited for competitive gaming.  On the other hand, the ELECOM is a wired-only mouse with two additional buttons. It also has a thumb and pinky rest, a scroll wheel, and customization software, which are all features the GameBall lacks.
