| Tool to "turn" trackball axis ??? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| FloLob:
I just installed the ultimarc trackball into my metal controlpanel. I had to turn the trackball 45 degrees for the installation, because of lacking space. And now ..... guess what ... the mousecursor moves diagonally. Is there a tool or something that "turns" the mouseaxis 45 degrees back to normal ? (Sorry for my bad english. But I haven't learned in school how to talk about trackballs.) |

It is an epidemic! There was just this post on the same subject last week... http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=20482;start=msg165518#msg165518 It is easy to install it at an angle by mistake, actually looks like you did this on purpose (not realizing the results though :( ) |

Sorry Man, I don't know of any hardware or software to fix that. If you turned it by 90 or 180 degrees, then you'd have some options, but not here. |

Agreed with the above. The trackball has two sensors, one vertical, one horizontal, so there's no hardware way to fix the problem. Software...maybe. You'd have to use a clever driver to mux the two inputs together and rotate. It could be done, but you'd need a very clever mouse driver. Some like that do exist, though I'm not sure they'd be compatible with your trackball. May be worth looking at. -->VPutz |
