Have you considered something like a Kensington Expert Mouse
Wireless Trackball? It
isn't one of those trackball mice that you use your thumb.
The mouse and keyboard are connected to a KVM. I just switched to
the Tripplite
KVM that accepts USB unlike my old Belkin that required old PS/2.
So wireless is
out. thanks
I'm not familiar with Tripp Lite. You say it has USB? Wouldn't that
mean it would
accept the USB dongle of the Kensington?
I am big on Tripplite UPS (since '84), but this is my first other
product from them. Their B006-VU4-R.
There are tagged ports for keyboard and mouse, so it may be that they
are implemented separately. Or it could just not matter. But why
label them if it doesn't matter?
Somewhere I have an old wireless keyboard. I may dig it out and see
if it still works...
In an earlier thread in this list of threads I posted the xinput data
for my logitech devices. I am using a Logitech Powerplay Wireless
Charging "Mat" the plugs in via usb and a Logitech G910 gaming mouse
that is designed to work with the Powerplay or without it. If using the
Powerplay you don't need to plug the wireless transmitter for the mouse
into the usb, and the mouse also comes with a cable so that you can run
it wired if you want to, and as a side effect running it wired also
charges the built in battery. Situated just below the scroll wheel on
the mouse there is a button to switch between the scroll wheel having
the normal drag and no drag at all so that when you scroll the wheel you
can't even feel it. Under that button there is also two buttons for
scrolling the dpi up and down as well. It also has 4 side buttons on it
with caps that can be removed and replaced with caps that disable the 4
side buttons if you want to. I haven't tested it but the scroll wheel
can be tilted left and right if to provide horizontal scrolling if you
want it. The one issue with this mouse, based on what you said in an
earlier thread, is it is significantly more expensive than what you paid
for your existing mouse. Both devices have leds, but if you have windows
the logitech software provides the capability of storing the dpi and led
configurations in the device itself, in which case they function in that
configured mode under Linux. I have set both my devices and my logitech
gaming keyboard up that way as the linux utilities available on Github
don't compile under the current F28 current kernels, the person who
wrote the software on Github does have binary modules that you need to
copy to the appropriate system directories which may work, but I would
rather compile them through dkms so that the get recompiled every kernel
change.

Steve
