Has anyone figured out how to disable the scroll ring? I don't see how to do it in TrackBallWorks. maybe a device modification?

There is no scroll ring on mine that I can see. Are you talking about the track ball retainer?

Really don't understand the question, I you only want to use the left right button, just take the ball out.

Nope, There's no way to do it that I know of. Thats why I got a different track ball: http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-K72337US-Orbit-Trackball-Scroll/dp/B002OOWB3O/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1408907089&sr=1-3&keywords=trackball

No, there is no way to disable the scroll ring in the software. When I first to the mouse I hit the scroll ring by mistake. After using it a while I have "trained" my fingers to not touch it. It is very handy for scrolling up and down and the scroll rate is adjustable in the software. It's like any new device a little practice and things like this are no longer an issue.

Just to be sure - you are moving the scroll button towards you when you want to scroll down, and away when you scroll up? If you are, then check your property settings on your device - usually this is done by control panel > hardware then click on view devices. When you find the icon for your mouse right click on it and you should see your settings - If this doesn't solve your issue - then you'll have to try contacting the mfg - or return as defective.

Has anyone tried holding down the shift key when using scroll wheel? That works just fine scrolling left to right on my 2007 DotMouse. I would be curious to know results as I need to replace the DotMouse with something similar.

Check to see if they've resolved the issues with the track pad. It was awful, did bizarre things on its own, and when I talked with tech support, they said they've known about these problems for months but don't have a fix! But they were still selling it.

No issue with the scroll wheel. Try taking battery out and then re-inserting.

The Kensington Slimblade has the scrolling integred to the one ball. The other one has that mechanism separately.

If you install USB Overdrive, you can configure the buttons (i use it for back and forward on browsers). with USB Overdrive, you can also reverse the direction of the scroll on just the mouse (without impacting the scroll of the touchpad--which somehow makes sense to me. i'm sure i'm not the only one.

The touch scroll is freakin awesome once u get used to it. I use this mouse for Revit (sim to AutoCAD) every day, and the scroll is vital. It allows you to flick and continues to scroll whilst slowing down to a no scroll state. So its like flicking the page on a touch screen and how is keeps going but gets slower. You can also tap down on it as it is winding down to stop it at any point. Much better than a tactile scroll wheel. It works the same for zoom. One flick will zoom into a capital city on google earth from the globe view. But like I said before you can simply stop the rolling zoom by tapping. Works awesome for gaming.

The question needs to be defined. Are you seeking to "Mute Audio" to the scroll wheel?That is very confusing since scroll down would mute audio and scroll up would enable audio.Audio would be turning on and off almost constantly.

I've had no problems with mine. I have been working with it for almost a year. I bought it precisely for the center-click-scroll features and I love it.

There are four buttons surrounding the trackball ring. You can customize them each to do many, many different (built in) commands: Save, double click, right click, drag, forward, backward, copy, paste, etc.

There are two buttons right under the scroll wheel that were made with that in mind. They have '+' and '-' on them respectively, and are set to adjust DPI to whatever you like in the default setup. You can, however, change the function of the two to whatever else you can think of, so there is a lot of versatility.

Open the TrackballWorks Configuration software and enable the feature that slows the cursor when holding a button. This will allow you to make very precise movements of the cursor with larger movements of the ball itself. Also, the touch points of the ball to the housing will collect dirt. This can cause the scenario you speak of as well. Simply remove the ball from the housing, wipe the inside, and re-insert the ball.

If you've installed the software on the CD, go to Start &gt; All Programs &gt; Logitech &gt; Mouse and Keyboard &gt; Mouse and Keyboard Settings. With the options window that opens up, choose AutoScroll for the left small button. Then choose Apply, and then OK to close that window. Now, when you click that small left button, a little scroll symbol should appear to indicate that autoscrolling's turned on. Now, by slowly or quickly rolling the trackball, the screen should slowly or quickly scroll. You get very precise control this way; play around a bit and you will see. Once its scrolling you can change the speed by moving the ball in the reverse direction a bit. Can even stop it from scrolling this way. Can get it to scroll so slowly that you can read a text as it slowly reveals more text below. Can scroll left and right as well as up and down. Etc. To go back to a clicking mouse just click once on the left button. Now click on whatever you want. Nice.

The other option you have, which is what I use, is to customize the dead zone/sensitivity of the Trackir so that your head center dead zone is higher and thus will not actuate until head movement is greater than X amount of your choosing.
