Trackballs FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers for common questions about our trackballs, including ordering, shipping, setup, and support.

Setup & Customization

Do I need special drivers to use my trackball?
Most models are plug-and-play. However, for LED customization or advanced button programming, download our free Trackball Utility.
Will my trackball work with both Windows and Mac?
Yes — basic functions work on both platforms, though some advanced features may require Windows.
Can I reprogram the buttons?
Yes — You can assign different functions to the buttons using our free software or compatible third-party programs.

Troubleshooting

The LED on my trackball isn’t lighting up — is it broken?
Not necessarily. The LED may be turned off in the utility software, or your model may have lighting disabled by default.
My cursor is jittery or skipping. How can I fix this?
Clean the ball and rollers, check for dust in the sensor area, and ensure the surface under your trackball is stable.
