Hi there,
my mother went to Osaka to walk a pilgramage trail, visiting a numbered set of temples as I understand it. And it goes around Honshu, I guess. Now, that she's back in Osaka after the trail, she prolonged her stay there for a few days. So she'll be there for the rest of the week.
Now, to get on topic. Before she went, I asked her to get me a certain revision of a trackball model by Elecom (a japanese company), which apparently I can not buy here in Germany. (Well, it had been on amazon.de for a time, but for thrice it's original price.) So, she got notes of the make, the model, and the exact model number of that revision. But, she has no idea, where to look for it. Unfortunatly, she doesn't speak Japanese, barely speaks English and isn't very smartphone-savvy.
Is there a big electronics store chain, Osaka might be riddled with and that ought to be having things like a variaty of trackballs on shelve? I.e. something easy to ask for on the street.
Pertinent pointers would be very much appreciated.
For the curious: I'm after the secong revision of Elecom's HUGE trackball/wired. The first revision, if I got that right, uses a material for the palm rest, that tends to degrade in a sticky and ugly way.
[doublepost=1568301859,1568296894][/doublepost]I'm trying to find a shop, but they're strictly in Japanese only and I'm at a loss. I got for example that Yamada denki is a big chain and that there is a Yamada LABI in Osaka. But I can't even figure out, what LABI actually is. The pictures suggest, that they at least have food.
If someone knowing Japanese in writing could have a looksie. The product I'm looking for is called on amazon.co.jp "エレコム トラックボールマウス 有線 大玉 8ボタン チルト機能 ブラック M-HT1URXBK" - I know it as ELECOM Huge M-HT1URXBK. (The latter being the model number.)
