New to arcade cabs here..on a budget. Looking at the X arcade controls and thinking about grabbing the cheaper one http://www.xgaming.com/store/arcade-joysticks-and-game-controllers/product/x-arcade-dual-joystick/ and if I really have a desire to have a track ball modifying the wood to accept a trackball later. Is it worth it and do able? Or should I say screw it and get the tankstick version with the trackball already installed?? |

It's a shame they don't offer the standalone Trackball unit anymore. I really don't think there's enough room to fit a trackball unless you completely reconstruct the front and raise the entire thing. |

IF you need and inch and a half more you could build a frame for the bottom of the xarcade that would raise the whole unit that amount or more. |

What about running the controls and what not via usb will there be any issues integrating it into the software? Sorry very new guy here |

Stupid question is everyone using the trackball to choose stuff in the front end menu..or is it intended for golf/bowling games ? |
