Kensington Trackball Mouse ReviewEven though it states that the Kensington Mouse is not compatible with Vista, there is actually quite simple way of getting it to work properly. The above Instructions are for Windows Vista 32-Bit Operating System only. If you are using 64-bit Vista then the above instructions will not work. There are other programmes that can be used to map the buttons on the Kensington but I haven't used them myself. Vista has various options for making adjustments to your mouse. One of the include something called "click lock" this acts exactly the same as the drag function that you will be familiar with. Rather than programming a separate button, your left button can be used to operate the drag function by holding it down momentarily. At first I wasn't sure whether I would like it. But now I've been using it for a while, I really do like the way it works. I started using the Kensington Expert Optical Trackball on a permanent basis in 2009 when I upgraded my computer and started using Vista rather than XP. Even though the Kensington Expert Mouse Pro is no longer available for sale, I thought I would include it in a review of two of Kensington Trackballs
This is the Kensington Expert Mouse Pro. I first purchased one of these in 2004 and ever since has been a huge fan of the Kensington range of trackball mice. The trackball has several buttons that can be each program to open a website of your choice. It also has four large buttons that can each be programmed to call various controls such as click, double-click, drag function, and right click. You can program the mouse to have these controls on any particular button you like. As far as I am aware this trackball is no longer available for purchase so if you have got one and are still using it on XP, I would look after it very carefully. Unfortunately this product doesn't seem to be available anymore
