Hi Jaycen,  
I saw that you are using the Kensington trackball. How did you configure the buttons? And is it better than a regular mouse?

Thanks for everything  
Ivan

I have been a Kensington TB user for years, it’s nearly impossible for me to work without one. Here’s how I set mine up:

Hello Jim  
Thank you very much. I still need time to get used to it but it’s getting better and better😁

The Kensington Expert mouse is an indispensable studio tool for me. Periodically, Kensington Works (the driver/configuration app) has been buggy on my machines (to be fair, atm it’s working pretty well). [SteerMouse](https://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/) and [https://better-mouse.com/](https://better-mouse.com/) have been recommended to me as alternatives. Has anyone here tried either of them? Thanks!

I have gotten used to it and don’t want to work without it anymore
