TrackballScroll

Allow scrolling with a trackball without scroll wheel by using a low level mouse hook.

Changes the behaviour of one or both X-Buttons (typically buttons 3, 4) to

  • Scrolling, i.e. vertical/horizontal mouse wheel events, when an X-Button is pressed and the trackball is moved vertically/horizontally
  • Middle button click, when an X-Button is pressed and released without trackball movement
Requirements
  • A trackball or mouse with X-Buttons
  • A Microsoft Windows x64 operating system with .NET 4.5.2

This software has been tested with a Logitech Marble Trackball(tm) and Microsoft Windows 10.

https://github.com/Seelge/TrackballScroll/releases/latest

Run the program
  • Execute TrackballScroll.exe, no installation is necessary.
  • Configuration options are available using right click on the icon in the systray (the icons next to the clock).
  • When using this program with a driver software that allows customization of the button behavior, make sure to set the X-Buttons to default behavior. E.g. with a Logitech Trackman Marble, make sure to set the buttons 3 and 4 to default button behaviour and not back/Universal Scroll.
  • The lines scrolled per wheel event are determined by the Microsoft Windows mouse wheel settings.
Compile the source code
  • Clone the repository from the github page or download the latest source code archive
  • Open the solution with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.
  • Change the build type to Release.

Version history
  • v6 fixes #20: allows to reverse scrolling directions
  • v5 fixes #17 + improved stability (rewrite of the mouse hook, state machine and mouse event sending)

  • v2.1.2 fixes #14. Compatibility with Windows 10 versions of 2017.

  • v2.0.1 Added an application icon and moved all strings to a resource file.
