Hi there, I'm trying to find all of my parts to build ny arcade machine but having trouble finding a trackball.
I've seen so many that I don't know the difference between them, any tips or advice on different typws to use?

Buy any of them, follow the instructions!

   But really anything that plugs in USB is nice and easy.

If you're using Ultimarc's Mini-Pac Opti, the U-Trak trackball is very easy to mount and connect.

If you're not using the Mini-Pac, there's also a plug and play USB adapter for the U-Trak.

The X-Arcade Trackball includes everything to work on its own plus a few buttons.

I'm using the I-pac but not  the mini pac.
X-arcade seems, ok. I didn't know how to set up the one with individual cables, so the USB one seems god to me.
