How to Install Califone X-keys O-Trac Dual USB PS/2 Trackball Black
Getting started with the Califone X-keys O-Trac is straightforward. Follow these general steps to ensure a quick, trouble-free setup:
- Connect the trackball to your computer using the USB cable. If you are working with an older system that relies on PS/2, use a compatible PS/2 adapter or connector as appropriate for your setup.
- Power on your computer (if required) and allow the operating system to recognize the new input device. Most modern systems will detect the trackball automatically and install any necessary generic drivers.
- Open your system’s mouse or trackball settings to confirm response and sensitivity. Adjust pointer speed, acceleration, and button behavior to suit your workflow and comfort preferences.
- Test the primary functions: move the cursor, click, and scroll (if supported by the model’s ball and buttons). If the trackball includes extra buttons, map them to commonly used functions in your software or OS settings.
- Clean and maintain the trackball surface as needed. For best results, rotate the ball gently when cleaning to remove dust, hair, or debris that can affect tracking accuracy.
