Which Kensington Trackball Models Are Compatible with TrackballWorks?

If you're struggling to get TrackballWorks to work with your Kensington trackball, you're not alone. Despite its promise of customization options, the software application can be finicky. But which Kensington trackball models are compatible with TrackballWorks in the first place?

According to Kensington's drivers page, TrackballWorks 1.1 for Mac was released on October 19, 2011. This software enables trackball customization, allowing users to tweak button functions, pointer speed and acceleration, and scrolling speed and direction.

Kensington shipped four models of this type, each with slightly different coloring and available in both wired and wireless versions. The Expert and Turbo versions were distinct from one another, offering varying degrees of customization options.

For those who are having trouble getting TrackballWorks to work, the solution is relatively straightforward. First, save the DMG file to your desktop and double-click on it. Next, click on the installer package icon when it appears, and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.

It's worth noting that Kensington has released subsequent versions of TrackballWorks since 2011, so it's possible that compatibility issues may have been resolved in later updates.

For those who are looking for a reliable solution under Mac OS X Lion, I can attest that finding one has been a challenge. I use the same trackball daily and will be heartbroken if I don't find a solid Lion solution – not to mention much less productive!

In any case, it's clear that Kensington has a reputation for producing high-quality input devices, as my wife (who shares my love of tech) can attest. And with TrackballWorks, users are one step closer to unlocking the full potential of their trusty trackballs.
