10/20 but I’m a little annoyed that what looks exactly like a panel from Berserk is apparently AI generated… Feels like the training data might just be replicated in entirety there, either that or someone asked it to generate “Guts from Berserk” 😛
I’ve never noticed it being bad on the Huge, so I guess so? I don’t particularly like the buttons on the Huge, but I’d say they’re unremarkable on the whole. The Huge also has horizontal scrolling via tilting the scroll-wheel, which I miss on the m505b. I can reach all the buttons on the Huge well enough, though I find the right button gives me a bit of hand strain if I have to use it a lot. The m505b (mine is ProtoArc branded, fwiw) buttons are really excellent, it’s really, immediately noticeable how nice they are. The activation pressure is much lower, but not so low that you’d do it accidentally and they’re really nicely positioned. If I could just take the tracking and scroll-wheel from the Huge, it’d be perfect. Both of these trackballs do just about everything better than the Kensington trackballs, though I do like the Slimblade’s twist-to-scroll feature, even if it does strain the wrist a bit.
So I got what I believe is a rebadged m505b and for the money, it’s great. However, the motion of the trackball is noticeably not as good as my previous Elecom Huge and it isn’t significantly cheaper. I wanted to move to bluetooth though, and the only good bluetooth Elecom trackball is about twice the price and not readily available in the UK (the Elecom Deft Pro).
So definitely a good deal, but if bluetooth functionality doesn’t matter to you, I’d go with the Elecom Huge. The buttons on the Nulea are much nicer and it’s a more comfortable shape for my hand, but the ball movement on the Elecom more than makes up for those differences, imho. Both are better choices than the Kensington Slimblade and Expert Mouse though.
Have you tried underclocking to reduce power usage (and thus heat production)? Seems worth trying before getting an entire new GPU… Performance per watt, I think the 4070 is one of the best cards right now, last I looked. Might be worth seeing what Intel do with battlemage, come Q2 2024.
