TrackballScroll

The trackball some mice are equipped with can’t normally be used for scrolling, but there are situations when this option would certainly come in handy, such as when you need to navigate through a particularly large document.

TrackballScroll is an open-source program designed to give you this option, using a low-level mouse hook. While pressing one of the X-buttons, you should be able to scroll when moving the trackball vertically or horizontally.

Naturally, you will need a device equipped with a trackball to take advantage of this software, and it is also worth noting that .NET Framework needs to be available.

No installation is required, as you can just launch the downloaded executable file from any location on your PC. You will find the application in the system tray if you wish to configure it or shut it down.

TrackballScroll can be actibated or paused at any time from the system tray menu, and you can also specify whether one or both of the X-buttons should be used.

When an X-button is pressed and released without moving the trackball, the program can register the event as a middle button click. This behavior can be enabled or disabled from the tray menu.
