my wife uses a Kensington Trackball, and while it's a nice trackball, Kensington's driver support is terrible (32-bit XP only, no Vista support, no 64-bit support of any kind, and based on their history of support, there won't be support in Windows 7 either (beyond what Microsoft builds in)).

I've gotten it working in Vista 64 by using a Microsoft trackball driver, along with a third-party utility called XMouse. I'd call the Kensington driver worthless, except there isn't one.

I've been tinkering with the button assignments on the G13 gamepad lately, and tonight I made a change -- I've now set it up so that the G22 button is bound to Left-Ctrl when it's used a 'shift' key. but when you 'double-shift' (press, release, press again within 250ms and hold) it does something different -- it temporarily activates the M2 keymap until released.

this gives me ready access to the 'ctrl' versions of all the keys on the M1 keymap, plus it gives me a separate Ctrl button I can use for things like ctrl-clicking items in game, and I still have ready access to a whole other set of buttons by double-shifting G22.
