Among other things, different color schemes were evaluated: There's some interesting information from designers who worked on this model: Steve Gelphman and Jon Corpuz. Obviously, this mechanism was Initially developed for existing Expert version 7 case, but advantages and new possibilities were greatly improved by creating completely new casing. Principle of operation is covered by US patent 8,502,781. But that device was mechanical with ball bearings, and I suppose it was not as easy to operate as #72327 with ruby gliding beads is. axis does not belong to Kensington: it was invented by Tektronix for its CAChe 3D trackball long before, and covered by US patent 4,952,919. Rest of data wasn't left unused: it provides third dimension of ball movement, Z axis - eliminating the need for dedicated physical control typically used for that purpose (scroll wheel, ring, or drum). The sensors used are standard laser mouse ones with two-dimensional output, but only single dimension per sensor is actually needed for pointer movement job here. The SlimBlade's ball is placed as low as possible: just about 1mm from underlying desk's surface.Īnother advantage of this design is also remarkable. In this design, the sensors should be located near equator of the ball, so nothing is mounted under it. To overcome this, very clever idea was implemented: two independent sensors, detecting X and Y parts of ball movement separately. In order to track correctly, optical sensor needs to be placed nearly under ball - and this requirement adds significant amount to the resulting device height.

The goal of creating the lowest possible profile was successfully achieved by quite elegant solution. Most advanced Kensington trackball, released in 2009 and still top-of-the-line for last decade.

Any idea how to find those accurately and safely? He said there were "LOTS of hidden files left behind by the uninstaller". Interestingly, I found a post on where a user said it took him almost an hour to remove every trace of TrackballWorks from his system. I've uninstalled Trackballworks, and tried to hunt down any preferences, etc., but it still won't work. I've re-installed Mouseworks but get an error message.
#KENSINGTON TRACKBALLWORKS PROFILE SETUP DRIVER#
They tried what I did manually removing Trackballworks but still no go.Īnyone know of an alternative USB driver that will allow you to program the buttons and scroll wheel?

One studio just installed 2 new MacPro 8 cores but Mouseworks doesn't find the driver. I do have a couple of people I work with that cannot get Mouseworks going though. Now is all back to normal with OSX 10.6.5. I had to manually remove Trackballworks extension and the preference panel.

I installed Mouseworks back in but then it couldn't find the driver.

That's how Kensington fixes their software bugs. A week later I think I received a reply saying the they hadn't heard from me so they considered my problem 'resolved'!! The replied that they received my tech submission and someone would get back to me.
#KENSINGTON TRACKBALLWORKS PROFILE SETUP 64 BIT#
It's 64 bit but they removed the application specific buttons and also the scroll wheel will only scroll vertically - there's no option to change it to horizontal scrolling anymore. Yes, the new "Trackballworks" is terrible. I did originally download the track ball driver and it wouldn't save individual settings so I found the Mouseworks driver. I can save preferences for different programs like I used to. Using Mouseworks here on 10.6.5 and it works great.
