But thinking long term, you always be able to swap or buy external rechargeable AA batteries (if they still exist), and the Ergo might one day stop charging. I found it awkward for the price point to need AA batteries when the MX Ergo has builtin. I did not mind the steep inclination maybe because I haven't had yet a slimblade.

Any pointers on how to get this done at X startup ( xorg) will be appreciated (tried ~/.xinitrc, ~/.xession, etc., all to no avail).Just got in to the trackball game after years of playing with Logitech M570 and MX Ergo. To have this set when I start X, for now I've added this command to a startup script that is run when my window manager starts (Enlightenment). Unfortunately, the speed setting is not saved (!), so you'd have to run it each time your start X. You change the sensitivity and speed with gnome-mouse-properties (also accessible through the Fedora menu -> System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Mouse (why do I have to click five times to access these?)). Trackball sensitivity Normal mouse settings seem to be a bit too sensitive for a trackball. To release the lock simply press the left mouse button again.įinally, here are all the details on the configuration options of the mouse section. The left mouse button is now "locked down", and I can move the window by moving the trackball (exactly the same effect as holding down the mouse button). the top right button), then the left mouse button (the top left in my case). This made my button 8 (the top right button on the trackball) the "drag lock" button: now, to move a window, for example, I move the mouse cursor to the window title bar, and first click the "drag lock" button (i.e. "Drag lock" If you don't want to hold down the "left mouse button" while dragging, you can add a line to the same section like this:

I'm using the Enlightenment window manager, with which it is really easy to map mouse buttons (including the extra button "8") to anything. To verify the mapping of your buttons, run xev, and click the buttons (and use the scroll wheel)( xev is part of the xorg-x11-utils package). Because I wanted the top left button to correspond to a left mouse button, and the bottom left to a middle mouse button, I added the ButtonMapping line.

Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Buttons" "6" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "ButtonMapping" "2 1" EndSectionĪ note on the ButtonMapping line: originally the bottom left button maps to button 1 (= left mouse button), the top left to button 2 (= middle mouse button), the bottom right to button 3 (= right mouse button), and the top right to button 8 (?!). Make sure the identifier in the Identifier line corresponds to the one in the ServerLayout section. Next, find the InputDevice section for the mouse, and replace it with the section below. Make a note of the mouse identifier ( Mouse0 in my case). In nf, in a ServerLayout section, there will be a line like this:

To get all six buttons to work (the scroll wheel actually functions as two buttons, one for one direction, one for the other), you have to modify /etc/X11/nf. In the US it costs $72 (47 euros) at Amazon, here I had to pay 99 euros (153 dollars !!!).

I bought this trackball for way too much money. Using the Kensington Expert Mouse trackballĪnother piece of hardware for which the actual usable information is scattered across the net, instead of on the Kensington website.
