![]() The DPI switch has moved to the bottom of the DEFT PRO, which might not be ideal for people that want to switch DPI regularly or while gaming/working. On the DEFT Pro, this same button switches between Bluetooth or USB wireless connection. Strange is the difference of the slide button on the side of the trackball: on the old DEFT, that button was the DPI switch, which toggles between 750 DPI or 1500 DPI. It is much easier to move due to the larger size and the click and tilting (click up and down) works MUCH easier compared to the old DEFT. The scroll wheel on the DEFT PRO is Rose Gold colored and much bigger than the regular DEFT. The Forward/Back buttons are much larger as well.Įlecom DEFT PRO M-DPT1MRXBK Trackball has larger Left Click and Back/Forward buttons, a rose gold colored and bigger scroll wheel. The Left Click buttons is much better, more square than long, and therefor easier to click. The layout of the buttons is quite different from the old DEFT, with the Fn1, Fn2 and Fn3 (function buttons) on completely new locations and with different shapes. (The scrollwheel and buttons however are slightly more noisy on the new DEFT).Ĭompare the Elecom DEFT (left), Elecom DEFT PRO (middle), Elecom HUGE (right) It’s almost completely silent and very easy and smooth to move the ball. The difference is hard to measure or feel, but what can be felt is quality of the new artificial ruby bearings: moving the ball on the new DEFT PRO is extremely smooth, one of the smoothest of the trackballs I have used. Elecom also claims that the red coating and new design of the ball enables more accurate tracking. The ball is much larger: 44mm compared to the 34mm of the old DEFT and that is a massive improvement in my opinion. The side of the trackball is made of a glossy plastic and bottom of matte plastic. Even after a short period of use, I see some scratches. Although the material is softer, it’s also a bit more prone to wear and tear. The material of the top of the Elecom DEFT PRO is a slightly textured, softer plastic than the regular DEFT. The Elecom DEFT PRO is slightly larger in than the regular DEFT model, more volume because it higher, filling up the palm of the hand a bit more. » Download Elecom Trackball manuals in English (PDF) Even if you order on Amazon, you will get it in an Japanese language box and manual. Included in the box is one AA battery, a USB 2.4Ghz receiver and instruction booklets (Japanese). ![]() The Elecom DEFT PRO M-DPT1MRXBK Trackball comes with a AA battery, detachable USB wire, a Wireless small 2.4GHz USB receiver and bluetooth connection.
