ME4 Trackball and Spinner USB and PS/2 Mouse Emulator

View Catalog Page

The ME4 is designed to interface a Trackball and/or Spinner to your computer's USB port or PS/2 mouse port. Signals from the Trackball and Spinner optics are converted into mouse protocol. The Trackball signals provide X and Y mouse axis movement, while the spinner may generate mouse scroll wheel movement or be merged with either the X or Y mouse axis based on jumper settings. Operation as USB or PS/2 is jumper selectable.

The ME4 features inputs which allow for the emulation of the standard mouse buttons for Left, Right, and Middle. To use these inputs, simply connect a switch to the desired input (Left, Right or Middle), and the other side of your switch to the common Ground connection.

The ME4 is jumper configurable. The Spinner signal may be jumpered to appear as X or Y mouse movement or the scroll wheel. In addition, the direction of each Trackball axis and the Spinner axis may be reversed using the direction jumpers provided on the ME4.
