Trackball light...where to get one
« on: September 28, 2017, 08:54:11 pm »
Hi guys,

For years I’ve had a mame cab with a blue translucent trackball.  There’s a hole in the bottom of the trackball case which I’m assuming is to accommodate a light/led. 

Well, I just want the thing to glow.  Where can I get a basic led kit that will make this light up?

Thanks,
Jason

I ordered one of those a few days ago. I will let everyone know how it works out :cheers:

I originally was going to but something similar I saw on ebay, for 10  bucks, a few month back but they are no longer three

I’m a fan of these items. Seller is also a user here:

I used the TB lighting option when I had a U-trak.

I attached a usb led reading light to mine. It works really well.

Ordered a bunch.  Coming from China...I'll report back how good they are.  I have a USB hub close to my trackball, so hopefully they'll work fine.

My U Trak looks great with this shining up the hole. Annoyingly the power to the usb stays on when the computer is off so I always have a glow.
