It is up to the hardware maker to supply compatible drivers for newer operating systems so you might try contacting Kensington. I note on their web page, they have a new trackball driver dated February 2015. But note too a lot of legacy hardware (and software too) is just not compatible with new operating systems.

But also, many hardware makers refuse to continue development of drivers for legacy hardware because committing the resources is not cost effective when there are so few of the old devices still in use. And that's true because they get $0.00 in return for the time and labor expended.

But it is also true they don't continue legacy support in part, because they want you to buy new hardware.

From what I can find while looking for a solution here is the new Trackballworks software from Kensington works for some folks, but not others. And for some of those "others" Xmouse works. But for many, nothing but a new trackball works.
