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.)

Nope, if you'd just rotated it 90

It is an epidemic!  There was just this post on the same subject last week...

It is easy to install it at an angle by mistake, actually looks like you did this on purpose (not realizing the results though  :( )

GamingGreg:
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.  

vputz:
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.
