Trackball height?
« on: March 21, 2015, 01:17:43 am »
I am having trouble finding out the height or amount of space a trackball needs inside a control panel. I have looked up a couple that are for sale and I dont see any dimensions. I dont have a lot of space vertically in my CP but would like to see if it is something I can add to it (my CP is set up to be able to swap out for different controls). Anyone know of any "slim" ones?


Thank you

I found some measurements for you below.  Looks like Ultimarc is your best bet at only 2" vertically.

I must be blind i didnt even see those nice measurement pics. Thanks for posting them! The 2" may be workable. If i could find something a quarter inch shorter that would be perfect
