good decent trackball in a decent price ?
« on: January 04, 2014, 05:53:13 pm »
i'm getting closer for having all the stuff i need in my cabinet,
just need a few more,
so i looked at grovy game gear, and all though they have some great stuff (really awsome)
i wanted a normal trackball and looked for an option for the spinner,
but MAN .. thoughs things are really expensive there.
i mean, if you get the cheaper trackball with a few modifications and an installing plate it would be like, 130 $ ...
and the spinners as well, and the spinner as well 126 $ for a spinner ?!?
look, i'm from israel,, and in here we make an average of 2000 $ a month, maybe in the states or around the world i hered the situation is allot better
but with 2000 $ a month and with rent+food+bills costing me 1800 (in a good month) it's allot of money for me ...the spinner & trackball
i could let the spinner go and do with the trackball, but still
do you guys know of somewhere i could find a decent trackball at a lower price ?
or i should save a copple of months and get the 130$ trackball on Game Gear. .. ?

thanx guys !

Just make sure to get a happ trackball, like the one from groovygamegear...they are awesome....much smoother spinning than the wico and ultimarc trackballs that i have.  My wife just got me a new one from ggg for Christmas, it it is awesome.

Perhaps you could find one on ebay

If you don't mind a refurb, rablack97 is selling them for a real good price.  I haven't bought one yet but those that have say that his refurbs are top notch.
