I can't rotate anything because my mouse doesn't have a wheel
Can't this be changed? I see no option to rotate pieces so I quickly had to end the game because all I could build were walls in one line. Hooray. I have a trackball mouse, so no mouse button.

Before you get a flood of "get a new mouse"; which by the way, you should. You could try https://neatdecisions.com/products/neatmouse/?

I have not tried it myself but looked for mouse emulators.

get a new mouse

No idea if this mouse is still on the market, but the sharkoon drakonia was a cheap but really nice mouse. Well i only use Logitech because the software allows me to combine mouse and keyboard in Macros. And i love the fast scroll wheel. But some years ago the Drakonia was a very positive surprise for its price

Are you people kidding me? I should buy a different mouse just so I can play this game?
I like my trackball and don't want anything different.

Trackballs are slow and imprecise which is why they aren't main stream anymore for gaming. They can be practical for some scenarios with limited space that doesn't require precision or speed.

If you have a c0ntr0ll3r (Steam, PS4, Xbox) you can use it with Big Picture On Steam.

I wouldn't use anything else! It is the most efficient and precise method I've ever used.

You're using pretty niche hardware. I'm honestly surprised you haven't run into this problem sooner and found a solution already.

But like the very first reply says, find software to emulate mouse functions like a scroll wheel. This won't be the last time you encounter this issue if you want to keep using a trackball.

It has never been a problem with anything else. I'll have a look for that software though. Thanks.

Are you actually a PC player ?
