Public bug reported:

The Kensington Orbit Trackball is a USB device with two physical
buttons, a scroll ring, and the ball. By default EmulateMiddleButton is
disabled, but should be enabled as there is no third button.

The only reason I'm reporting this is that I really really like this
device - I've been searching for a good trackball most of my career, and
this is the best I have found.
