Badass Trackballs?

[EscalatorBoy]

So I have this trackball I've been using (Elecom EX-G M-XT1) and it's been pretty not bad. But in the past couple weeks, it's been bugging out like crazy, and I seem to be the only person on the internet with this specific problem (The mouse will only work in the window you had open when you plugged the trackball into the USB port, and doesn't interact with any other window.... weird. It also works on a Mac, but not on any Windows 10 PC I've tried).

 

So I'm looking for a replacement, having exhausted all the tech support options I can find. As far as I can tell, Elecom is the only manufacturer of decent trackballs aside from Logitech, and Logitech just doesn't make a ball with good enough build quality. I don't really want another Elecom, just in case those units are eternally bugged on Windows 10 due to driver problems or whatever else might be going on.

 

Any suggestions? Does anyone make a pro quality trackball?

Get an older Logitech they are solid

You may want to check out the trackballs made by Clearly Superior Technologies. They have a range of very well built laser and mechanical trackballs, but they're not exactly cheap.

Could someone with hands-on experience with the 'Elecom M-XT1URBK' please comment on the functionality of the 'Double-Click' option for buttons.

Specifically, does a key, when programmed for 'Double-click' and pressed, send:

    a) A 'Down-Up-Down', which in a text document will select a word -- and then on dragging the cursor -- have the selection expand to encompass more; with the final 'Up' deferred until the key is released?

    b) A 'Down-Up-Down-Up' -- even if the button is pushed and not released -- which selects one word only (with no hope of expanding the selection).

 

Logitech used to have the 'a' behaviour, but now offers 'b'; Microsoft 'Intelli-Point' still believes in the 'a' behaviour.
