Nulea M505A Wireless Trackball Mouse Ergonomic 44mm Index Finger Control

Updated - one year later. I bought this mouse for home use as well and couldn't be happier. I bought one for a co worker and she's a convert. I tried a different trackball mouse (uses your thumb instead of your index/middle finger) and found it was very tiring for my thumb. I also tried a "vertical" mouse; it worked ok but it wasn't as "natural" feeling nor did it give me as much relief as the Nuela does. The sensitivity of the track ball is adjustable, similar to how you would adjust the responsiveness of regular mouse; this makes a world of difference is usability. My only caveat is if you play FPS games. I occasionally play FPS games, and I can *mostly* use the Nuela mouse for them. When I play a FPS, I dig out my old "normal" wireless mouse and put it on my desk so I can quickly switch if I need to. I'm accustomed to using a mouse with a scroll ball/button, forward/back buttons, and left and right click buttons. I transitioned with ease to this mouse, and LOVE it. I bought it for my work computer, but am considering buying it for my home computer as well. The trackball mouse is very comfortable to use and seems to be helping with my tennis elbow problems. I've been using it for 3 weeks , and overall I'm extremely pleased with the transition. First, I had to set the trackball sensitivity. It was just awful until I found the setting that worked best for me (just a few tries with an easy to use interface). Then, I had to figure out how to use the trackball. This sounds odd, but I wasn't sure if I should use my index finger, middle finger, or both. Ultimately, I use a combination of my index and middle finger on the trackball, and use my ring finger for the right click button. This was an intuitive/thoughtless transition. Thumb buttons and accessibility: Using my thumb for a left click was also a very easy/thoughtless transition. I was less confident about the placement of the forward/back button, as they're above the scroll wheel, but I've found this isn't an issue at all. The hardest adjustment has been the scroll wheel. There's just not as much movement capability with my thumb as there is with my middle finger (which is what I used to control the scroll wheel on a traditional mouse). I can do it, and I've adjusted, but it's slightly more effort than a traditional mouse. As an alternative, I can press the scroll wheel button, which then allows me to control scrolling with the trackball. After 3 weeks of office usage, I'm thrilled. With the exception of very few tasks (relating to precision work, like drawing in paint which I do very little of) I'm 100% converted and competent with the trackball. I expect that as I continue to use the trackball, my comfort in using the trackball for precision work will increase. To conserve the battery, the mouse goes to "sleep" after some period of time, but it wakes up quickly with the click of the mouse. I've yet to charge it, you do need a USB-C cable to charge it. I can't comment on it's suitability for gaming, as I use it at work, not home. Given my challenges with precision use of the trackball (like for drawing in paint), that would definitely be a more difficult transition for me were I to try it with any of my first person shooter games. To be very clear - I can move the trackball around just fine in word and for selecting links, etc. It's literally just things like trying to free draw a straight line in paint or something similar that I'm not as good at, yet. If you're considering a trackball mouse (and you're not left handed), this is a GREAT choice. The functionality is excellent and it's very comfortable to use. I appreciate the color choices available, and the price at $32 was reasonable.

I don't really have a lot to say except this was my first finger-operated trackball and it was quick and easy to adapt to felt amazing both ergonomically and in terms of the actual trackball itself and the ergonomics of it are just amazing. I really love it. I don't really use the scroll wheel very much. I prefer to hold one of the buttons and then use the track ball for 2D drag based scrolling. But because of how good the track ball feels, that just feels incredible. It's like the best scroll wheel ever made because it's a track ball. I really appreciate that there's a sort of sculpted vertical tilt to the whole body of the thing, but that's not enough vertical tilt for me coming from a vertical mouse, so I actually used a magsafe charger mount thing to mount in a vertical position, and that's been great. In fact, it's almost like enhanced some of the other ergonomic aspects I really like, like the way the thumb area is kind of sculpted to fit the hand, and the way the body fills your hand out. As far as the general, like, feel of the device, it feels shockingly high quality and sturdy and rigid (and I love the soft touch plastic) for its price. But based on the weight and the slight tendency to slide around a little bit on the rubber feet and stuff like that, I think it's, you know, it's still possible to tell that it was a device on the cheaper end, but it feels like a device that's worth maybe $60 or even $80.

if the ball rolled smoothly, this would be 5 stars. everything else is perfect for me, but immediately out of the box there's a noticable drag in the up-down/forward-backward axis. and it's not consistent either. it's pristine and i've cleaned it anyways, so it's "just that way". that being said, i'm not sure if it's severe enough for me to return it or not. i love it that it's got 2 bluetooth connections. the adjustable dpi is nice. and the scroll wheel is great, also operating as the center button. it charged, connected to the computer, within 30 minutes or so, and the other reviews indicate great battery life. the ball size is perfect for me, too.

I absolutely LOVE this mouse! I have a tear in the tendon of my right wrist, and using this mouse has made all of the difference in the world, by taking the pressure and strain off of my wrist. After just a few days of using this, the pain has diminished greatly and even the swelling has gone down. It's very ergonomic, and operates very easily and smoothly. Also, their support team is OUTSTANDING! I'm extremely technically challenged, and they were able to walk me through setting it up, and answer ALL of my questions. I normally hate "chat" discussions, but they were amazing, sending me detailed pictures and diagrams of what I needed to do. The mouse itself is very well made and high quality. I am SO pleased with my purchase, and their customer support!

First trackball mouse I had was the Kensington Expert Mouse, remember?! I LOVED IT over the regular mice of the day! I then upgraded to a Kensington Orbit trackball and I thought I was something with that wheel. Then went with the grey Kensington Orbit Wired Trackball for a while opting for wired for video editing... then a wired Logitech Trackman Marble Trackball... before switching back to a moving mouse, the Victsing Vertical Wireless Mouse. I actually really liked the "vertical ergonomic" nature of the latter. However, with big screens of today, I tired of using the regular mouse in a limited area picking it up to continue large movements... Picked this guy up last week, and I LOVE LOVE it! Got back the hang of the trackball, and no more sore wrist. I can scroll with my index and middle fingers across the entire screen in a sec... but also pinpoint slow and accurate movement just as easy. I can use my ring finger for right clicks. I'm getting my dexterity back with my thumb using it more than I did with my vertical mouse. The buttons are super soft with a nice silent but very slightly audible "click". The wheel is convenient, also used with the thumb. The ball is super smooth, key will be to keep it clean underneath to keep it moving smooth. The ergonomics don't tire the hand a bit, not at all! Benefit of trackball is it stays stationary! Don't need any room to move it at all! Time will tell if the ball movement stays smooth, but I think with simple cleaning, it should. I use this for video and audio editing, as well as for business apps, it's perfect for all of it. Haven't charged it even once after a couple weeks use, so happy about the wireless functionality, should last a long time on a charge! So glad I found this!

I absolutely love this mouse. I am physically disabled and use it to control my iPad (and sometimes my iPhone from bed. The trackball is large and allows me to move around my screen like I would on a computer and multitask and work. There are multiple programmable buttons I use to control the volume on my devices, switch apps/tabs, and to right/left click. It is equally useful when I use a laptop while in my wheelchair. I have dropped this mouse many many times because I have hand tremors and muscle spasms and it (and the track ball) have never broken. It seems extremely high quality. It stays charged a long time.

Compared to the Elecom Deft Pro, this mouse is much more flared out - both longer and a bit wider. This makes it more difficult to bring to and from class, and much less comfortable than the Deft Pro because the palm rests more high up and it is flatter. The Deft Pro also has 3 extra side buttons and a scroll wheel with tilt, whereas the nulea has none of those features. The Deft Pro can connect wired whereas with the nulea you have to use one of the wireless connections, contrary to what the other review says (cable only for charging). The max 1600 DPI on the nulea feels like it is between the 500 and 1000 DPI options on the Deft Pro, which is not enough for me. I had to increase the sensitivity digitally in software. However, the quality is much better than the Deft Pro - it comes with ceramic bearings instead of ruby ones, has a much smoother rolling ball. The scroll wheel click is much lighter (the Elecom was basically unusable). It is also rechargeable, unlike the Deft Pro. My Deft Pro developed a double click in the left mouse button after about 1.5 years so it remains to be seen if this mouse has better longevity.

I already found a replacement to my Logitech mk570 and was looking for another because my partner likes to take mine. I was going to just order another however I found this one. I still bought the other too. I ended up keeping both mice. So this one took some time to adjust to. The shape alone makes this stand out from standard trackballs. The button layout is different and the mouse is larger than my small hand is used to. Once I did I found the mechanics were much faster than the other standard trackball mouse layout. It's a lot faster to scroll with my fingers and gives my thumb a rest. Left clicking with my thumb is easy and has a soft but solid click. Using my thumb on the scroll wheel was different but also felt natural over time. I do not use the forward or back buttons much but they feel are a little too high for my thumb to comfortably press. Trackball feels the same as the others... it's just in a different place. The space beneath it makes it easy to pop out for cleaning. All the buttons feel nice and work well. I love the connectivity of this. I have it paired to my pc via USB, my phone via Bluetooth 2.4 and my laptop via the Bluetooth 5. Switching between the devices is super easy. The battery lasts awhile too. I go for over a week or more and only plug it in when the light blinks trying to use it and nothing moves on my screen. It only takes an hour until it's ready to use wirelessly again. I still use it when it's plugged in charging. The mouse is smooth but is a grippy matte. That took adjusting to as well because my other mice are smooth hard plastic. Lastly, the price is amazing for the durability and quality of this mouse.

Tras más de 6 meses y con más de 8 horas de uso diario, puedo decir que es un gran producto!!! Cuesta acostumbrarse viniendo de un "ratón normal", pero es extremadamente cómodo, la muñeca o dedos no sufren para nada, utiliza menos espacio que un ratón convencional (al no tener que desplazarse en ninguna dirección) y la batería dura mucho (en todo este tiempo solo lo he tenido que cargar 2 veces, y el ratón funciona mientras está cargando). Lo único a tener en cuenta es que los rodamientos deben limpiarse continuamente para asegurar un movimiento "limpio". Es una tarea muy sencilla que se hace en menos de 1 minuto (extraer la bola y limpiar con un paño) Solo puedo decir cosas buenas!!! NOTA: el material no está marcado y mantiene su aparicencia como el primer día.

Article bien conçu, esthétique et complet avec le trackball (mouvement du curseur), des 4 boutons latéraux et de la molette permettant de scroller. Avec cette configuration, on doit revoir ses habitudes étant donné que l'équipement ne bouge plus contrairement à une souris standard, mais uniquement la boule avec les doigts > Même si l'équipement est imposant, ça reste un choix judicieux quand on a un petit poste de travail ou que la surface est vitrée - soucis avec le laser des souris optiques (d'autant qu'il peut aussi servir de repose-main) Ce modèle est sans fil grâce à son dongle (là aussi on évite un câble qui traine sur le bureau) La batterie [non remplaçable] se recharge via un port USB-C (câble fourni) et j'espère qu'elle durera dans le temps NOTE : Modèle pour DROITIER UNIQUEMENT (dommage de ne pas l'avoir précisé dans le descriptif de l'article)

An excellent device that, for right hander at least fits perfectly in the hand, support eith with the included dongle or by Bluetooth. All the buttons are well positioned and give a satisfying click. Would recommend to anyone who has joint issues or just can't get on with mice. Just plug in the dongle to a free USB port or connect via Bluetooth and go. Supports all your regular OS's without issue as well as Linux. A touch pricey perhaps, and delivery speed was glacial. But I think worth it in the end.

Pour ceux qui aiment travailler avec un trackball, il est parfait (PRESQUE). Le seul inconvénient que je trouve est : Pourquoi mettre le bouton ON/Off sous le trackball ??? Cela oblige à retourner à chaque fois le trackball pour notamment l'arrêter avec un curseur qui se déplace à l'écran parce qu'on retient la boule et le risque d'appuyer sur le bouton de gauche ou droite en même temps. Merci les constructeurs de réfléchir à cela ! Sinon il est vraiment top.

Ich benutze seit vielen Jahren die Logitech Marble Mouse, weil ich an vielen Einsatzorten keinen Platz für die Mausbewegungen habe. Leider hat Logitech die Produktion offenbar eingestellt und man kann die Marble Mouse nur noch gebraucht, und nur sehr selten in neuwertigem Zustand auf dem Internet finden. Zum Glück gibt es den Nulea Trackball!!! Der ist zwar nicht ganz dasselbe wie das Original, aber er hat die gleiche Funktionsweise - aber dafür das bei Logitech nicht vorhandene Scroll-Wheel, das ich immer schmerzlich vermisst hatte! Obendrein ist der Preis mehr als entgegenkommend - niedriger als die Logitech Teile auf dem Gebrauchtmarkt! Kann ich wirklich empfehlen!
