This action will show up in the right window. In the center, double click on MOVE OR CLICK MOUSE. In the Categories section click on INTERFACE CONTROL. The list of actions the first item is PAUSE. On the left, click on the folder called CONTROL FLOW.
To put a pause in, click on the DISPLAY HIDE ACTION LIST plus sign at the bottom right plus sign. If you don't put one, KBM sometimes does not work. OK, you now have a button on the Expert Mouse programed, but it is doing nothing. Click on the words and change them to IS RELEASED. Now, YOU ARE NOT DONE! Just to the right, is a double arrow and next to it are the words that say IS PRESSED. The word NONE is replaced with USB/PS2 WHEEL MOUSE BUTTON 5. While it is blue, press the button that is the top right button of the track ball, or any button you want to become a double click on the Kensington Expert Mouse, (KEM). Notice the blue box that shows up and says NONE. You will be using this option for all the track ball functions to work. The second from the bottom option is DEVICE TRIGGER. If you look closely you will see a green plus sign with the command NEW TRIGGER. Create a shortcut with KBM by clicking the center plus sign for ADD MACRO. First click on the bottom left plus sign to add a Group. I am not a TEC writer, so I will do my best. I will offer an example to make the button at the top right of the track ball a double click. Keyboard Maestro also replaces my Quickeys 4.0, but that is another story.
If you follow both my rules above, your expert mouse pro will work. IN ADDITION, when you want to type text of some kind, do not tell Keyboard Maestro to paste in the text, have it TYPE it in. The bug with Keyboard Maestro is you need to put a pause in between each command. They are Second, the Kensington does fully work, all buttons, so you will get the Expert Mouse pro working just fine. You need to purchase it directly from the developer. Those 6 program buttons are awesome!įirst a note about Keyboard Maestro.
I have used all the MAC OS up to the current Mojave and it works great. My solution was to use Keyboard Maestro purchased from their web site.
You do NOT need the Kensington software in order to make it work either.
I haven't figured out how to get the scroll wheel to work, but that can most likely work as well. Including all 6 DIRECT LAUNCH buttons, and the 4 mouse buttons around the track ball. The Kensington Expert Mouse PRO and the Mac do work together. It won't work with Catalina of course but it does for Mojave. Original for this particular document was dated 2012. Just had to search on the name of the track ball to find it. OK, found my instructions on using the Kensington Track Ball Pro with Keyboard Maestro.
Hi welcome to Keyboard Maestro (KM) and its Forum. I am new here, and I think this is the correct place to ask my question.
