How to Address a Delayed Reaction on the Right Button of the BIGtrack 2


Summary
The BIGtrack 2 has a built-in delay when using the blue right button. This delay allows the device to differentiate between a standard right-click (momentary press) and the Drag Lock function (press-and-hold). This article explains why this happens and confirms that it is normal behavior.
Required Items
- BIGtrack 2 trackball
- Device connected to the BIGtrack 2 (computer, tablet, etc.)
- Understanding of right-click and Drag Lock functions
Instructions
Press the Right Button. Normally
- Action: Quickly press and release the blue right button.
- Expected Result: A standard right-click menu should appear.
Use Drag Lock
- Action: Press and hold the blue right button.
- Expected Result: The BIGtrack 2 enters Drag Lock mode, allowing you to move objects without holding down the button continuously.
Tips and Troubleshooting
- If the right button response feels slow, it is due to the built-in delay that helps the device distinguish between the two functions.
- To ensure smooth operation, practice the timing of the button press based on the function you want to use.
- If you experience an issue beyond the expected delay, try using the BIGtrack 2 on another device to rule out compatibility issues.
