    [SOLVED] Kensington Orbit Optical Trackball

    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.

    https://is.gd/NquupE

    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?
    Constant change is here to stay!

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