First I'd like to say hi to everyone i just joined this forum, but have been lurking for a while. I have a problem trying to find a good mouse to hook up my trackball, I bought one and hooked it up but now when I plug it in the mouse goes straight to the side and jumps around when moved, still staying on the sides. I'm guessing this is the mouse? Can anyone recommend a specific mouse to use? Also I'm using a laptop with no PS/2 inputs so i have to use USB. Please help thanks. -Bryan |

Hi and welcome, I'm sure someone will be able to give you some guidance here. But first can you clarify alittle maybe post some pics. What I think you're explaining is that you have a USB trackball for games and you also have a Usb mouse. when you plug in the mouse, the cursor kicks to the side of the screen and stays there just jumping a bit. Is that whats going on? |

thanks, sorry let me explain. I bought a trackball and am trying to do the mouse hack to hook it up, i tried with one mouse already but when plugged in it does the weird jumpy thing. So I don't know what to do, is it the trackball or mouse? |

I've never done a trackball to mouse hack, but I'd guess that you have something crossed or generaly hooked up wrong. Here's another thread about a mouse hack http://arcadecontrols.com/files/Miscellaneous/Mouse_to_Trackball_Instructions.pdf |
