Product Information

Full details

The Elecom Relacon Handheld Trackball Mouse is the ideal solution for users who want to navigate their PC or tablet from the comfort of a sofa, bed, or recliner without needing a desk. Its primary benefit is the ability to operate a computer wirelessly from any position while maintaining full cursor control, though users accustomed to traditional mouse tracking may initially find the thumb-operated ball requires a brief learning curve.

FAQs

Does the Relacon work with smartphones?

It is designed primarily for PCs and tablets that support standard Bluetooth mouse input.

Can I use it with my left hand?

Yes, the device features a symmetrical button layout suitable for both left and right-handed users.

Do I need a specific surface to track the cursor?

No, because it uses a trackball, it functions perfectly while held in mid-air or resting in your hand.

How do I clean the trackball?

Gently push the ball out from the back of the device, wipe it with a microfiber cloth, and clear the sensor area of dust.

Is the clicking sound loud?

No, the Relacon uses silent switches to provide a very quiet clicking experience.

Does it have a dedicated scroll wheel?

The Relacon uses dedicated buttons for navigation rather than a physical scroll wheel.

Troubleshooting

Cursor movement is erratic or jumpy

Remove the trackball from its housing and clear out any dust or debris from the sensor cavity.

Device fails to pair via Bluetooth

Ensure the device is in pairing mode, toggle your computer's Bluetooth off and on, and ensure the mouse has fresh batteries.

Buttons are not responding as expected

Check the OS settings to ensure the pointing device driver is correctly identified and that no conflicting software is overriding input commands.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Operates without needing a desk or flat surface
  • Ergonomic handheld shape promotes a relaxed posture
  • Silent buttons prevent distracting click noise
  • Includes convenient dedicated media controls
  • Compact and lightweight for easy storage

Cons

  • Requires a learning period for thumb-based tracking precision
  • Not suitable for high-precision tasks like professional graphic design
  • Lacks a dedicated scroll wheel in favor of button-based navigation
  • May feel bulky compared to standard travel mice

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Elecom Relacon, ensure your device has Bluetooth enabled, put the mouse into pairing mode, and select it from your computer or tablet's device list. Once paired, the system should recognize it as a standard pointing device immediately. Regarding care, the trackball is the most important component; it can be removed from its housing by pushing it from the underside. Periodically remove the ball and use a dry, soft cloth or compressed air to clean out any dust or debris from the optical sensor cavity. Avoid using liquid cleaners inside the sensor housing to prevent hardware damage. When not in use, store the device in a cool, dry place to maintain battery health and protect the plastic casing.
