Like I said I can't speak to how things work in Windows but in Mac world - no joy with regards to custom programming in the standard Kensington s/w.

I ran into this issue quite some time ago, probably when I switched from Win 7 to Win 10. My solution was to install an older version of the driver. I'm using Kensington TrackballWorks version 1.3.1, and can program buttons as expected (ProTools 2020.5 Win10). In ProTools app only, I program the top-left button for record & the top right button for play. Works!

Legend, thanks!

Don't suppose you know where to find the older driver, I could find it anywhere!

The modifiers work in all other programmes including Avid Sibelius and just don't work at all in PT.
I've noticed that the extra keys can be programmed into basic functions with sucess in PT, such as a right or left click, but more complex shortcuts just don't respond, such as Ctrl+Equal and Ctrl+Windows+L Click.

I am editing the keys using Kensingtonworks and have tried setting it on both 'Pro Tools' and 'All Applications'. I have also tried reinstalling the software many many times. Kensington Support wasn't much help...

Thanks so much
Kensington TrackballWorks app, for my Expert Mouse Wired Trackball, was acting up again today... not recognizing modifiers in Pro Tools. I tried uninstalling/re-installing three (!!!) different versions of TrackballWorks, including latest 2.2.7. Frustrating and still not working. Finally, I tried XMouse Button Control. It seems to be working for my purposes. Thanks to The Weed above for suggesting it. Safe to use? I'm always afraid of free apps... Thanks!

I've been using XMBC for years, no problems ever. I even have different shortcuts on different layers for work in Pro Tools depending on what I'm recording and/or editing.
