Our Verdict

Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball

ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK

The ELECOM HUGE M-HT1DRBK and the Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball are both wireless trackball mice, but the ELECOM has better overall performance. The ELECOM has a conventional scroll wheel, much lower click latency, six additional buttons, and three CPI settings. It also has an integrated cushioned wrist rest. On the other hand, the Kensington has a free-scrolling scroll ring around its trackball and a removable cushioned wrist rest. It also supports Bluetooth.
