Adjusting Trackball speed I'm disappointed that the Logitech Control Center software I downloaded for the Trackman Wheel doesn't include any adjustments for the trackball, only the wheel and buttons.

In the Mac OS, there's a system preference called "Mouse" that allows you to set tracking speed (which works for any input device; mouse, trackball, etc.). I would imagine Windows has something along the lines of this as well. Have you looked around in -- what is it called in Windows? Control Panels?

I have Vista and use Logitech's SetPoint utility. I can control the pointer speed, similar to a regular mouse. Is this the function you mean? SetPoint is available on the Logitech website.

Yes, it can for me on my Mac. I just bought this today and installed the software from Logitech's website that allowed me to set a function for each of the four buttons. I assigned down scrolling to the large right button and up scrolling to the small right button. http://support.logitech.com/product/trackman-marble#download

Yes, but only when you configure it to in setpoint settings. You can create custom settings for each application. Don't use the software on the provided cd; instead you should download the latest version from Logitech.com.

I couldn't find any Mac drivers listed on the Logitech website.I'm not familiar with any "Apple" products but if the Mac O.S.has any generic drivers for joysticks you might be able to getat least basic function out of this device.Whether you'd be able to assign functions to allof the buttons and throttle, I wouldn't know.

I was replacing a track ball mouse so needed no "unifying device" . My initial track ball mouse was simple plug and play though so maybe you have another problem that is not related to the mouse. Just a thought. I hope that helps.

hi marina. it can be used, but it's much easier and more complete (at least for me) to use the right side of the trackball. just more exposed surface of the ball to use. maybe it would be a better idea to use it as a brake to stop the movement. a tempting thought since one of the buttons is right below it. playing with it as i write this, there is just more control with the fingers. i'm going to take a guess and say the thumb hole is to push out the ball for cleaning rather then moving the cursor. if you're thinking about getting one, remember, this technology is a bunch of years old, so the options to use it on current machines might be limited. you may need to get a gender converter to use it. ps2 plug to what is used for mice and keyboards today, meaning usb ports. i think the software is still valid up at logitech but i suggest you check to see the downloads on site. don't know what you are going to use it for, but for word processing, spreadsheets, it is tops. gaming, cad, you might want to think about it. anywho, this was rated the best trackball of the year when it came out, then one year later it was gone. amazon, ebay, might cost you a bit more then the 65-70 dollar original price when it came out. hope this helps. (i have four, two for backup, so i guess i like the thing)

Yes, but I'm having a little trouble with one of the speed controllers. My right hand track is not running properly. The owners manual is horrible. There is a way to adjust the tracks and drive chains, which you will need to do after you have run it for a while as things get run in. If yu can get a copy of the manuel from the old version it shows how to do it much better.

Yes, and no. The driver gives you the three functions listed above. There are no other touchpad functions supported and Logitech apparently has no intention of expanding that functionality. So, you get basic mouse functions with the buttons below. one tap is left mouse click, two fingers is scroll and three fingers is back and forward. Two finger tap doesn't work. Pinch/Zoom doesn't work, etc.

Yeah it does, do remember to download/install the software from Logitech so that you may adjust performance settings. Otherwise on default, it's painfully slow. :)

I know you can add a printer. There is a connection for a mouse, so you should be able to hook up a trackball. The problem is installing the drivers. Telekin makes it hard to install software on their machines. It does come with 4 usb ports so I know you can physically hook them up. But check with Telekin just to make sure before you buy the scanner/trackball, etc.

Checked their FAQs and found this: http://ergo.contour-design.com/support-and-downloads/faq - GO down to the question, "My cursor is moving too fast on the screen. How can I adjust the speed?" - there is a way to adjust it on the bottom side of the keyboard tray. I remember doing that with mine - but can't look at it right now. There's a diagram w/their FAQs. :-)

Has anyone tried holding down the shift key when using scroll wheel? That works just fine scrolling left to right on my 2007 DotMouse. I would be curious to know results as I need to replace the DotMouse with something similar.

I understand now.It is not assignment to the scroll wheel, it is mute assigned to the scroll button.I wish I could help but I cannot.I do not use ANY Logitech software with my LS1 mouse.I Do use OSX 10.6.8, and.... 10.4, 10.5, 10.8, 10.9. (eventually 10.10)Sorry I have no useful relevant information.

The Logitech gaming mouse software that allow you to program buttons does include volume up and volume downin the Button functions - which are the easiest items to assing to buttons. ( not that the other item - Keystrokes and MAcros are much harder)I am using gaming software version 8.46. having 16 Button functions; the ability to assign keystrokes to a button and the ability to assign macros to a button. ( should pretty much allow you to do anything you like with a mouse button)

I have a similar Logitech trackball (# 810-000767) and it works just fine on my Win 8.1 laptop. Also, Microsoft released a patch a few weeks ago that suppose to make a regular mouse and keyboard work better on Win 8. My Logitech worked just fine before and after the patch.

I'm on a Mac, using ControllerMate. I've been able to reprogram all the buttons. This includes the ring finger button, which I use as a shifter to modify the other buttons, but can also work as a regular macro button. With ControllerMate, it is also possible to reprogram the scroll wheel of any mouse. I am also using the center top buttons (G7 and G8). I've programmed one to toggle videos from windowed to fullscreen, and I set the other one up as an Esc key.

Yes, there is a scroll wheel that surrounds the trackball itself and works just like the scroll wheel of a mouse. It takes a little getting used to it, but I love it.
