Can't install wireless trackball - Monkeyman - 10-30-2017

I have 3.6 on my laptop and have been trying to install a wireless trackball with no success. I have a Logitech M570 and the installation prog is (of course) an .exe file. I've tried running it with Wine but can't get it to go. Any suggestions?

See if you can get a linux driver.

First I did a DDG search for  "Logitech M570 linux driver"    and got

See if you can get anything from

http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/wireless-trackball-m570

I also noted

It says it supports chrome OS.  Chrome OS is a stripped down linux distro.  Stuffs that work on Chrome OS should work on LL.
