Re: kensington expert mouse trackball
I'm using a slimblade mainly on PC PT - still too scared to put the Kensington Mouseworks on though. Feels nice enough, also run an Expert Mouse Pro at home but again too scared to put the ye olde Kensington mouseworks on the system.

Re: kensington expert mouse trackball
If any UK members are after one of these but are put off by the price - I have come across a great deal from a very unexpected source....QVC!
http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.as...source=froogle that's £41 delivered for the current model Expert mouse. It seems that Kensington have given up on updating Mouseworks for SL though....how are you guys who are using it getting along with using the extra keys & functions without Mouseworks? Or does it still "sort of" work?

Re: kensington expert mouse trackball
We have a few of the Expert Mouse with MouseWorks installed. Our systems are using v10.4.9. I have received no complaints about this model. We just had one of the supports in the crater break off somehow, but everything breaks eventually. Kensington, in keeping with their great service and warranty, is going to replace it free of charge. Sometimes, you get a company that gets it when you log a support request.

If you do decide to try it, google installing mouseworks on vista (or Windows 7) or something similar -- as I recall, there was some trick to it all... installing in XP SP2 compatibility mode, perhaps. |

The Slimblade has it's own driver in place of mouseworks- aimed at consumer media functions. I had to buy the Expert Mouse and retire the Slimblade to my 'bookkeeping' computer- even then, I had to install USB Accellerator to get the function I needed for spreadsheets. Looks cool, though. |

Re: kensington expert mouse trackball
I have the "Expert Mouse Pro" trackball. four main buttons, scroll whell (vert or Horizontal) and 6 pre-set website buttons. I've had it for about 7 years and don't know what I'd do w/o it.

Re: kensington expert mouse trackball
To answer my own question, "Steermouse" enables buttons & speed to be assigned per application, even though it appear to only really be for mice. Shift-scroll still sideways scrolls, so Mouseworks performance but SL compatible. yay.
