Question 1

Is there a way to get scroll click or middle click results with this mouse?

Accepted Answer

Yes, definitely. I configured mine to perform middle-click whenever I press both the left and right buttons simultaneously. I had to download Kensington' Trackball Works driver software to get this functionality in Windows 8.1.

Question 2

Has anyone figured out how to disable the scroll ring?  I don't see how to do it in TrackBallWorks.  maybe a device modification?

Accepted Answer

The scroll ring sensor can be disconnected with a few minutes work.  Switch off the trackball device and push out the red trackball.  I removed the batteries.  With a tiny, thin screwdriver pry up the sensor ring (the flat black ring around the red trackball when it's installed). The sensor ring is one fairly sturdy piece. Take your time, attacking at several points, using more than one screwdriver, and you will get the sensor ring out.  I did it without scratching the trackball device.  At the front of the sensor ring is a ribbon cable.  Pull the ribbon cable out of the sensor ring cable connector, fold the cable up and stick it down into the trackball body, then reassemble. It looks and works great.  Wear safety glasses!  You assume all liabilty for your actions; this is an information-only story how I did it.  I like the track ball a lot now that it no longer causes random stuff to happen at random times.  If you have mini security allen wrenches for disassembly, you can take the bottom off and likely reach the other end of the cable.

Question 3

Would you please tell me the length,width and depth.  Also from the size from the wrist area to the ball.  Thank you

Accepted Answer

Depth = 1 1/2", Legnth approx 4", width = 3 1/2" down to 3 1/4", Wrist area to ball is approx 3".  It works well, though is only prefers batteries with a stronger strength to them.

Question 4

How do you scroll with the Orbit Wireless Mobile Trackball?

Accepted Answer

There is a touch pad on both sides of the trackball that you swipe up or down to scroll. The positioning of the touch pads make it so I can use this mouse with either hand. The only caution I have is that you do not touch the top of the mouse while you are operating the trackball. I have small hands, so when using the trackball with my right hand, I usually put my thumb on the left button, my index finger on the track ball, the middle finger above the touch pads on the mouse where it can easily be put to use on scroll pad, and my ring finger on the right button. I invert this position when I am using my left hand.
