🚨 Health Warning
Use of a keyboard, mouse, or trackball may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. Recent medical research of occupational Injuries has linked normal, seemingly harmless activities as a potential cause of Repetitive Stress Injuries ("RSI"). Many factors may be linked to the occurrence of RSI, including a person's own medical and physical condition, overall health, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse). Some studies suggest that the amount of time a person uses a keyboard, mouse, or trackball may also be a factor. Consult a qualified health professional for any questions or concerns you may have about these risk factors.
When using a keyboard, mouse, or trackball, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, even if such symptoms occur while you are not working at your computer. DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. These symptoms can be signs of sometimes permanently disabling RSI disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions.
Common Troubleshooting Steps
If your trackball is not working properly, follow these steps one at a time, and then retry your device. You can stop when your device begins working correctly again.
1. Unplug the trackball from the computer, and then re-plug it in.
2. Plug the trackball into a different USB port on your computer if one is available.
3. Shut down and restart your computer.
4. If possible, test the trackball with another computer.
