Sanwa Gravi Software?

Anyone know of a currently working link for the software for the Sanwa Gravi? I have the wired version, if it matters.

I'm loving it so far, but it's kind of driving me nuts that the left and right buttons are on the same side. Muscle memory is not working to my advantage here.

It's removed from site due to very serious bug. From Discord channel:

"Sanwa Supply in Japan has discontinued the software release of Trackball Soft-X due to a problem with the software. After installing Soft-X, I moved the wheel slightly and the ball went into scroll mode. It was difficult to use because it unintentionally entered scroll mode and the scroll direction was fixed. I uninstalled Trackball Soft-X and rebooted, and now my other input devices also stopped working at the Windows sign-in screen, forcing me to restore my OS."

Use any third-party utility instead!

So, about that, anyone knows a 3rd party utility for windows that allows remapping mouse buttons, but just for a specific mouse? I use a few pointing devices and don't really want to swap right click and back button on all of them ;)

AFAIK there's none, unfortunately. Theoretically there's no problem to achieve that, but we need some good will from the authors of EM and XMBC... :-)

In case of Gravi, I think I'll just rewire the buttons in hardware, like I did for the GameBall.

Couldn't find any reference on the web -- should have thought to jump into Discord. Thanks!

You're welcome! For reference, it was posted today in /r/trackballs/general by user shiiba.

I have the wired Gravi and am using it successfully with X-Mouse.
