Mini Trackball

Anyone have or seen neat mini trackballs (usb, ps2) I could put on top of my Cp without having to make holes.
Just a regular pc mini trackball with 2 buttons.
My Cp is black so I've been trying to find one to match.
Any ideas?

Try Ebay. I bought a 2" diameter trackball for $1.99. I cut the housing so it would fit in a 4" area.
Here is a picture cut.
You should be able to find many ball colors and you can always make a black mounting plate.

I have one that Compusa used to sell that I have listed in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum. Basically I just want a couple of dollars and the cost of shipping for it.

Anyone every seen or heard good/bad things about this handheld trackball.
I don't want to use the trackball for games on my mame cab, just something to ease my navigation.

Any other ideas?

I have one...they work pretty well. I'd recommend 'em. Wouldn't try to play golden-T with one though.

I have an old wireless logitech trackball..
It was orginially used for presentations. You could walk around the room then click the buttons to change slides. It has a tiny ball that you navigate with your thumb...
I have a couple.. But they require batteries (2 * AAA)
I'll try to take some pictures off them tonite..
Found this picture on the web this is it...
I'll put some batterries in it and test it tonite...

I used to hack up trackballs for navigation and setup purposes, but then I bought a wireless USB powerpoint remote and never looked back. $50, but it has been worth every penny (plus, I can easily move it to other cabinets when needed).
