Frequent USB connection errors

Hi

I'm facing frequent USB connection issues with my endgame.

whenever i try to connect it to a PC via a USB, I get "Unknown USB device (devide descriptor request failed)"

I'll have to plug/unplug it multiple times before it vonnects successfully (although there is no issue with bluetooth connection)

is this a hardware (trackball) issue or a windows issue?

also, i think i saw in some video about endgame that once you connect it to a PC, the device shows up like a storage media and you can access the firmware. is that still true? because mine doesn't (never) show up as a storage media

Kinda stupid doubt, but how do you turn on the endgame trackball?

i know this might be a bit silly doubt, bit how do you turn it on??

theres a key combination to turn off the trackball - that works great, but then how do you turn it back on again?

there's a button next to the usb C oort, pressing that does turn on the trackball, but it also resets the key map i had set.

another option is to olug in the usb cable, but that also doesn't sound a very practical option.

so am i missing something obvious??

Zooming in/out in CAD softwares with endgame?

Hi

i have just received my endgame and I'm trying out the features

currently I'm not able to zoom in/out in my CAD software.

i thought the twist to scroll would also work as zoom, but it doesnt.

is there any workaround for this or would i have to assign two buttons for zoom in/out?

Since everyone is so obsessed to get the "Delhi One" metro card, here's my OG from 2012

This used to be keychain originally, but unfortunately that part broke off a long back.

Still works perfectly fine though

Ignore if this is a stupid question, I'm just too excited to get my endgame - Does invoice generation means my order is close to getting shipped?

Sorry if this sounds stupid, i am very excited for my endgame trackball

I've noticed that the invoice option has been updated on the website just now, it wasn't there at the time of order (or even till a few days back)

Does this have any correlation to the order being shipped or am just overly excited

My (Efog) Endgame journey - Update

After my first 3D print of Efog's endgame housing, it was pretty clear to me that the stock housing ergonomics are not for me.

  1. The housing was pretty narrow, due to which my thumb and pinky finger rested outside the housing.

I solved this by increasing the width of the housing (and buttons)

  1. The keycaps were too shallow, making it a bit difficult to press the buttons, specially the top middle two buttons.

To solve this, i had printed a set of raised keycaps.

  1. The scroll wheel position was a bit awkward to use. I changed the position to the side of the device, making it much easier for me

  2. Added an integrated wrist rest (can be magnetically attached)

I have placed an order for an endgame kit at the start of this month, let's hope I'll get it soon so that i can continue further improvements for the product ergonomics (for me)

Journey towards Efog Endgame

Hi I had ordered Elecom deft pro a few days back as my first trackball. However, i really didn't like it's ergonomics (and stiction). Also, the scroll wheel quality was very bad. My primary usecase is 3D CAD, so all these points made the deft pro a very bad choice for me.

Then i saw some posts about Efog's endgame, and it looked pretty nice to me.

That's when i decided to 3D print the trackball housing to make sure i would like the ergonomics

I'll try it out for a few days before placing an order.

PS - please ignore that one crooked button, accidentally glued it wrong

Any online (reliable) 3D printing service?

Hi I want to get some parts 3D printed just to validate their ergonomics.

Can you recommend some reliable websites which you have used.

I'm looking for reliable and reputable websites (kinda trying to avoid any scams)

Thanks in advance

Help me for Efog Endgame / unsatisfied with Elecom deft pro

Hi I had recently bought the Elecom deft pro and i am not really liking it due to the following reasons

  1. The ball sticktion causes problem in fine cursor movements
  2. The button placement is not perfect for my hand. The right click is a bit difficult to operate some times
  3. While trying to press middle mouse button, i often press it sideways
  4. Slight thumb pain due to scroll wheel/thumb buttons

So i am trying to find some other trackball for me (primarily CAD usage)

I've seen many people suggesting efogtech's endgame trackball. I have a few doubts and would appreciate it if you can help me with this

  1. The configuration I'm wanting is worth 125 euro (55mm ball with bosch BTU). Is the price justified or should i also consider other options at this price point
  2. I've seen efogtech's assembly instructions and feel confident i can do that. However, i wasn't able to see and instructions for keyremapping. Can you help me with some guide for it
  3. The endgame and ploopy adept looks very similar but the ploopy is significantly cheaper. How is endgame as compared to ploopy. Is it worth to spend so much extra
  4. I think i saw somewhere that you can remap ploopy buttons via a web based "app". Is there something similar for endgame as well?

Help me choose the best trackball (beginner?)

Hi I am planning to buy my first trackball and need some of your help.

My primary usecase is 3D CAD along with some excel and other general office work (primarily CAD)

Till now i was using a logitech MX master 2S (since june 2020), but it just died today.

I've wanted to try on a trackball since a long time but just kept on delaying the purchase

Can you help me finalising a trackball for me.

Right now i have placed an order for elecom deft pro (from amazon japan to india)

Can you suggest if this would be a nice option or if there's something else i should consider
