No ability to use different X-buttons for scroll and middle button

[ArmanHayots]

So trackball becomes useless in apps like autodesk 3dsmax, where scroll used for zooming and middle button press for panning.

Thank you for your feedback. Currently both X-buttons are mapped to the same behavior. What functionality would be optimal to you? Would being able to enable/disable the hook per X-button be sufficient?

Thank thee too for a best solution for problems caused by logitech stupidity.
I think it can be done with 2 switches — «use different buttons for scroll and middle» and «swap scroll and middle buttons». This also can be done via one 3-state switch — «default behavior/X1 scroll, X2 middle / X1 middle, X2 scroll».

@ArmanHayots
v3 should satisfy your requirements. X1/2 buttons can be enabled/disabled in the tray menu. Disabled buttons are ignored by the TrackballScroll (i.e the default driver settings apply).

A little misunderstanding here. I'd talked about using different buttons for different actions, e.g. X1 for middle click and X2 for scroll and vice-versa. Otherwise usage of things like 3DSMax or Blender turns into hell.

The configuration is not intuitive since it requires both TrackballScroll and Logitech SetPoint but it works using the following settings.

X1 button for middle click only:

• Logitech SetPoint: set button 3 to other + middle mouse button (seems to be only available for button 3 but not 4)
• TrackballScroll: deactivate use button X1 does not matter since TrackballScroll will ignore middle button clicks

X2 button for scrolling only:

• Logitech SetPoint: set button 4 to default (=X2)
• TrackballScroll: optionally deactivate emulate middle button when not scrolling (requires v4).

Notes:

• Listed SetPoint settings are translations to english and may be called slightly different.
• Tested with blender.
