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.

Loved the EX-G when it was my main trackball! Unfortunately the switches started double-clicking after a year of heavy use, and by then models with more ergonomic angles came out so I replaced it instead of repairing the switches.
Currently on a Protoarc EM01NL and liking the aggressive angle, but I do miss that the Elecom balls are easier to remove in order to clean the rollers.
Double clicking switches is why I had to replace mine. But I had mine for 5 years.
Can you customise the extra buttons on that Protoarc?
It has the following buttons recognised in
xev: 1 (left), 2 (wheel press), 3 (right), 4 (scroll fwd), 5 (scroll back), 8 (pgdn), and 9 (pgup). These are standard remappable in Linux, and I presume that Windows has equivalent capabilities.There’s three additional buttons that are not mappable, which are for input select and DPI.
