Title: Beston Imperial Trackball which wire's / which buttons?
Post by: ITrek on March 22, 2003, 10:18:20 am

I have an Beston Imperial trackball with a PS/2 connector and 4 wires, black (common), yellow, red, and green.  Can anyone tell me which wires are for which buttons (mouse buttons 1,2, & 3)?

If no one has a wiring diagram just plug it in and touch the yellow, red and green to the black and determine which button registers using the mouse control panel.

Connecting it and testing it is no problem but I was hoping to save some time if someone already knows which wires activate which buttons.

I bet it took longer to ask here and wait for an answer than it would have to plug it in and test it with the mouse control panel open.

And really, even if you wired it wrong, it would take 3 seconds to swap the microswitches to the correct buttons...

Faster with quick disconnect.
