Trackballs Smaller than 2 1/4"?
Necro:
I have a minor problem and am hoping someone might have an idea on how to solve it. My CP isn't that deep (6") and goes in at an angle, so there isn't much clearance below the CP. The issue I'm facing is that a 2 1/4" trackball 'casing' (the parts under the CP) - while fitting within the 6" fine - end up smacking against a piece of wood going across the back of where the CP sits.
While modifying the cab is an option, I wanted to see if anyone knows of 'thin' or a bit smaller (1.75-2"?) trackballs I can check the dimensions on to see if they would work.
While not a dealbreaker if I can't get a trackball into one of my swappable CPs, I'd really like to have one on my spinner CP (2 spinners, 1 trackball in the center).
The alternative is to make an external mount or 'ghetto' CP for the trackball...it won't fit the theme though so...I'd like to avoid that if possible (aesthetics are important to me on this cab).

That is ridiculous.
Necro:
Hehe - I was looking at that and trying to determine if it was even decent at all. I do have a PC trackball, but not sure if it would fit.

Funny you should post that. It is the first thing that popped into my head when I was reading the original post.
I happen to have one of those and was considering it for a mini control panel, but couldn't justify $60 for a cable/harness to see how it would work.
