R38 Series: Ergonomic Desktop Trackball Module, USB Figure 1: R38 Desktop Trackball 1. DESCRIPTION The R38 Series desktop trackball module is an ambidextrous, high specification device that incorporates the latest Cursor Controls Ltd capacitive/touch technology. The module combines the patented optical trackball technology with a capacitive, Z-axis scrolling ring allowing vertical and horizontal scrolling. To compliment these two technologies, the module also includes left, middle, right, forward, and backward buttons and a resolution button allowing the user to select from five resolution configurations. The user can also switch easily between left and right-hand configurations via a designated button. The solid-state design prevents entry of dust and dirt, allowing easy cleaning of the trackball area once the ball is removed. The unit has been designed to be a freestanding desktop device and optimises desk space when compared to a mouse.

Inventors and Innovators of HMI Solutions Scrolling Modes A single, momentary press of the Settings Mode button is used to toggle between continuous and linear scrolling modes. This is indicated by the LEDs as shown below. Table 2: Scrolling Modes The scrolling modes operate as follows. ■ Continuous Scroll Mode: o Touching and dragging in the scrolling area causes continuous scrolling that is maintained until the user removes their finger. o Scrolling speed is determined by how far the user moves their finger relative to the initial point of contact, i.e.: moving further away from the initial...
