Flip Trackball?
« on: June 25, 2010, 09:23:30 pm »
I believe I saw somewhere on this board a "flip" trackball, but I can't seem to find the info. Basically the trackball was hidden under the CP, and when you wanted to use it you flipped it up and it became even with the rest of the CP. Does anyone have into on this? I might like to do that, but I'm not sure what they used to keep the trackball firmly in place when it was flipped up.

When I thought about this, it really didn't make much sense to me. All that CP real estate would be used up anyways, so why have the trackaball be unusable, under the CP while nothing can be in that spot on top of the CP. There is a guy that made a MODULAR CP, where he could change out controls to his hearts content.
