ELECOM EX-G Wired Trackball, my first diversion from Logitech in the trackball world. While Logitech was busy removing a wire from a stationary object, Elecom was out here adding buttons.

I also have a wireless version for travel.

Most trackballs have to be cleaned on a normal basis as the funk from your finger builds up below the ball. Try popping the ball out and using a q tip to clean the rollers. If there's a lot of build up you can use isopropyl alcohol on the q tip to clean it out.

Wipe the ball itself with some IPA too.
