- smoe 6y agoI never used a trackball, but I would have expected there to be either a button on the mouse or some key you could hold to turn the ball into scroll mode?
- dingaling 6y agoSome high-end trackballs have scroll rings but every one I've used for the past 30 years just has the standard two click buttons
- Kranar 6y agoA search on Amazon, Best Buy, and Newegg for trackball and sorting the results from lowest to highest price all include scrolling buttons, either by touch, scroll ring, scroll wheel. The dirt cheapest option I could find for 20 bucks, the Logitech Trackman Trackball has something called WebScroll buttons and other cheap Logitech trackballs use SetPoint. It appears, at least from all the evidence I can gather, that trackballs without a scroll option is the exception. https://www.newegg.ca/p/pl?d=trackball&Order=1 https://www.newegg.ca/p/pl?d=trackball&Order=1 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?_dyncharset=UTF-8&id=pcat17071&iht=y&intl=nosplash&keys=keys&ks=960&list=n&sc=Global&sp=%2Bcurrentprice%20skuidsaas&st=trackball&type=page&usc=All%20Categories https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?_dyncharset=UTF-... https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=trackball&Order=1 https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=trackball&Order=1

- dkonofalski 6y agoIf you're on a Mac with a trackball, the scroll bars would show up all the time the same way they would if you were using a mouse. Unless the trackball says it has a scrollable function to the OS, you'd see the bar.
