Sanwa optical wireless trackball - any good?
« on: April 02, 2012, 05:04:47 am »
I'm thinking of buying one of these instead of cramming a trackball into my cabinet - anyone have one?  If so how are they?

Does wireless support a fast enough transfer rate to give accurate movement?  I assume if Sanwa made it, they must have figured it would be good enough!

I'm sure it works just fine. However, its spin is probably fairly restricted. And it's USB 1.1 - ewww.

So I got the trackball.. Its excellent.  Fits nicely on my CP and held in place with magnetic strip. Feels like its gonna be good for games too, though I'm yet to set it up and try.  Trackball settings are a mystery to me.

Um, in-game will decide.
