  • TY. Will check that as well, and maybe your device as well.

    I actually have 2 of those trackballs. First one I bought after about 4 yrs one of the 2 boards inside died so I went and bought another one (they were $99 cdn each, $35 in the states at the time of purchase), it lasted about 4 yrs as well then one of the boards died. The best part was the boards that died were different in each so I pulled em apart and combined the working boards and have been using it since, total this device is about 25 yrs old now



  • So yeah, software package, I mean the trackball is working (main 3 buttons) but not the side 2 (I now have a few suggestions to try out to keep these old favs runnin tho I am willing to purchase new ones). I have been in the windows world so long now that, as you said, I use drivers and software for a device interchangeably cause that’s what I’ve been seeing in windows, when I dl the “drivers” for my trackball the interface is part of it, same with the G13. It is amazing what you forget in 20 yrs of not thinking about it





  • Generally-speaking, USB mice/trackballs don’t need drivers.

    Except to program the buttons

    antimicrox

    I will check this out

    I use Debian Linux

    Hopefully will work for me too

    Windows games that have integration

    not games, other than the profile layout, but system monitors in windows display on it.

    g13d

    Will check this out as well, the display stuff I could learn to live without, if it will let me program the buttons I will be happy.

    if you want game-specific bindings

    in windows you can also change profiles by pressing the little round button on the top left, but need the display to see what game is selected
