[SOLVED] Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball

[Beerislife]

My trusty old Logitech Marble Mouse (Trackball) suffered a left button breakdown and was no longer usable so I switched it out for aforementioned Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball that was being unused and wasted.

I've been trying to get the right button and ball to act as a scroll-wheel with no success. Googling doesn't offer much help, the best I've found was to edit either:

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-libinput.conf

or

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Kensignton Trackwheel Middleclick and Scrollwheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "Kensington Kensington USB/PS2 Orbit"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "3"
EndSection

But after a reboot there was no change.

Any ideas before I go out and buy a new Logitech?

Got a new Ligitech, problem solved. Luckily I had store points so it was almost free!
