Overview
ELECOM builds the Relacon as a handheld trackball pointer, so a laptop or PC can be controlled from a sofa or bed without a desk. The symmetrical body works in either hand, and a power switch on the side stops battery drain while it is stored.
Choose it for couch or bed control of a screen, with play, pause, volume and track buttons within thumb reach. The limit is how it connects, since the listing says Bluetooth in one place and a receiver on a radio band in another, and the supported systems stated are older Windows and macOS releases.
Who it's for
A person watching videos or browsing from a sofa, a presenter walking a room, or someone with little desk space will use the handheld shape and the media buttons. Buyers who need confirmed support for newer operating systems, or a fast desk pointer, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Works in either hand
- Media control buttons
- Receiver stores in the body
- Power switch and battery lamp
- Connection type described two ways
- Older operating systems listed
- Needs two AAA batteries
- Not suited to precise desk work
Performance notes
A trackball moves the pointer by rotating a ball under the thumb, so the hand holds still and the screen does the traveling. A larger support ball is harder for dust to bury, which cuts how often it needs cleaning. Pointer speed switches between three set levels, and button actions are assigned in the free Mouse Assistant software.

Frequently asked questions
How do I look after the ELECOM Relacon trackball?

Where is the receiver stored on the ELECOM Relacon?
The description says the small wireless receiver can be stored in the mouse, so it is not lost when carried.
Does the ELECOM Relacon replace a desk mouse?
It is built for handheld use from a sofa or bed. The listing gives no guidance for fine desk work.
