This software version is compatible with ventura and earlier versions of mac os, but not sonoma. It's now january, 2024 and these hardware and software issues have not been fixed.

I own multiple trackballs from kensington, elcomm, and logitech.


I got this to replace a previous version of what looks like the same thing from the same brand.
