    Microsoft Trackball Optical 4 button

    You go here
    http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/trackball-optical
    and tell it you have windows 7 and download Intellipoint 8.2.

    Then you uninstall "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center" through the control panel and install the Intellipoint software instead.

    Now when you go to your mouse settings you will see the correct mouse.

    My question is, why does the mouse and keyboard center list the "Trackball Explorer" as a compatible device when it clearly is not and do they plan to correct this mistake?

    Note: Microsoft made a HUGE, STUPID, SHORTSIGHTED, IDIOTIC, and UNPROFITABLE mistake when they stopped selling these.

    They go for over $300 new on ebay now. All they needed to do was change the material the 3 small bearings where made of. (FYI you can buy replacement bearings on Ebay now.

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'trackball tools.' Microsoft no longer makes a trackball mouse. You can still

    download drivers for the Trackball Explorer
    , but that mouse is not supported on Windows 10. If you've got the 32-bit version of Windows 10, the driver for 32-bit Windows 8 might work, but there's no way to know in advance how successful that will
    be.

    It is not. You can see the mice that Microsoft still sells
    right here
    .

    Microsoft Intellimouse Trackball drivers for windows 10?

    Hi ыдск, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

    The only drivers provided by Microsoft for the Intellimouse Trackball are these below:

    https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-au/d/t...

    As you can see, the latest supported version of Windows is Windows 8. The trackball may work with Windows 10, but it may not function correctly. If that's the case, you may need to buy a newer product, as there are now official drivers for Windows 10 available.

    Please let me know if you need further information! Thanks!
