✅《OPTICAL TRACKING TECHNOLOGY》The ELEOM trackball provides precise cursor movement for superior accuracy so you can get where you want on the screen quickly with less hand movement, improving productivity and efficiency.✅《FUNCTIONAL 8 BUTTONS》It is very easy to move in any direction. It comes with 8 physical buttons on the device and the two extra buttons are the scrollwheel tilting that allow horizontal scroll.✅《DPI CURSOR》Designed with a high-performance gaming optics system sensor and lens. The DPI button can easily change between 500(LOW), 1000(MID) and 1500(HIGH) DPI, making the movements of your cursor faster or slower.✅《EASY MAINTENANCE》The ball rolls on three 2.5 mm large artificial ruby ball bearings. They are extremely smooth and the relatively large size prevents dust and dirt from clogging them. So you don’t have to clean the ball bearings too often. The ball is held in place by the ball bearings, but can easily be popped out of the device, by pushing it through the hole in the bottom and it can be easily cleaned.✅《PRODUCT DETAILS》System requirements: Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows RT8.1, Windows 10 or later, macOS 10.12 or later, Size: W4.5"(114.7mm) X L7.2"(181.9mm) X H2.3"(57.2mm), Weight: 9.2oz, DPI: 500/1000/1500 count (switchable), Connectivity: wired
I really like it (I have the v.goofily named Elecom HUGE) but I should probably mention the most intense mouse/kb game I play on the regular is Cities: Skylines. Most of what I actually do on here is general office stuff and a lot of photo editing. I can vouch for its accuracy at low speeds (there's so much heft to the ball you can move it with pinpoint accuracy) but it might not be the greatest at twitchier stuff because you don't get that giant range of motion you can get out of a mouse and a big mousepad.
The Elecom HUGE is what I use. If you have especially small hands, the Elecom Deft that /u/Aperture_Kubi linked to could be good as well, but it's quite small relative to other fingerballs.
Just FYI, that price tag is msrp. Amazon is currently selling it for ¥6853 which is roughly $60
here's the link to Amazon Japan
I didn't look for the wireless version but it should be no more than $10 more.
Now the question is: to get a wired or wireless trackball.. mostly used for gaming, but the freedom of wireless is nice. Oh the decisions!
Edit: link not working due to Japanese characters. Just google it, and you'll see the price tag. Also, it comes out on 7/22/17
These are older/discontinued models. The Elecoms are new/still being made. I have both the Huge (which is aptly named) and the Deft (considerably smaller) and I really like both. I have the wired versions, so I can't speak to the quality of the wireless/bluetooth. I've not tried the Deft Pro; it seems to be something of a middle ground between the Deft and Huge.
E: added details and links
Definitely check out r/trackballs.
I have a logitech trackman marble that I like and it's the index/pointer style as opposed to the thumb ball style. Only complaint was no scroll wheel.
The elecom huge is a really popular and praised trackball. Comes in wireless as well. It's one of the only thumb style with a larger marble.

Edit: trying to left click quickly with my thumb was just not working for me, so I swapped back to a normal mouse.
I made the same switch and love it.
If size is a concern, look into the Huge, though personally I found that too big for me.
That's about what I do, probably fine. But depends on what type of mouse/keyboard you are using. If you're using some tiny little travel mouse so the bone in your wrist is taking all the weight then that's a problem (I had that problem). I switched to this thing that's very popular over in /r/trackballs and it works wonders. Most of the pressure is on my palm, not wrist, and there's a nice pad there that comforms so it's better than a wrist rest (actually you're not supposed to ever rest your wrists anyway).
Trackball might not be right for you, but at least find a reasonable properly sized mouse that serves the same purpose and is large enough.
My Elecom Huge has been rather quiet. I haven't had it long, less than a week so far. Others can probably comment better, but it seems to fit what you are looking for.
What mouse is that?
Edit Found it
Might I suggest trying out trackballs then, I use an Elecom one with 5 extra buttons Amazon link
I feel like for normal windows stuff that I track better (or more accurately?) with a trackball than a normal mouse. If you get a good one (trackball), they're amazing; and I you get a bad one (e.g. a thumb trackball) you're in for some pain and anger.
The only reason I get gaming mice at all is because of video games and 360 flick headshots. Trackballs (not the thumb ones) and ergonomics go hand in hand.
Here are a couple trackballs I would check out:
1 and 2 but maybe check out /r/trackballs
This is pretty fun to play with.
Check out the Elecom trackball mice on Amazon. Button placement is a little different than the MS Explorer was, but ball position is the same. On the wired version, the size is very close to the Explorer, and the wireless is larger, with a cushioned palm rest. I have the wireless, and it's so close to the Explorer in functionality. I love it. Prices aren't bad either, at $50 -$60 for one.

The closest to an actual replacement are the ELECOM trackballs. The ball is slightly bigger which still allows the two finger operation. It has a scroll wheel as well as finger buttons (more ergonomically placed than the MS Trackball Explorer IMO.) Adjustable DPI, rubberized palm rest. As well as two function keys, Fn1, Fn2.

Whether it has the durability of the MS Trackball Explorer - unknown. My two MS Trackball Explorers are still working from early 2001 (bearing replacement.) This is the best option available beyond 3d printing your own replacement parts...

If you want something built like a tank, you might want to try one of the CST trackballs - they're available in several variants, including a beige one to match old keyboards.
If you want something more ergonomic, there's the new Elecom HUGE, but as it just came out a few days ago, we don't know how long it'll last.
And finally, if you want retro, nothing beats the good old Microsoft Trackball Explorer, but it's out of production for well over a decade and might be expensive. (but can be bought cheaply if you're willing to spend some time, use google translate and look for it on eastern/central european auction sites or taobao) - but, like most old trackballs, its DPI is really meh and you'll probably have to replce the bearings or it'll feel scratchy.
