Ugh just bought one of these the one with the cord. And wow are they awful your thumb gets sore in 5min. The rollers are thin stiff wires which look like they have shrink tubing for the friction points. But good news the mouse is USB and being that I am at work I had the mouse apart. And found the incoder wheels have wide spacing and I have mapped out the contact points for a trackball hack. Here's a pic of my next victim.

Edgedamage, do you think you might be able to put a little tutorial together when you hack that? I've been thinking of buying one, but wasn't sure how good they would be. Thanks.

Of course!! The seller said that it's in the mail. Got for $9 USD.

I've got one sitting in the cupboard, along with the atari version (the big black mother). I never tried hacking it (should be a breeze) just because it never did roll very well. As I recall...the bearings were connected to the shafts or something so that you couldn't replace them, of course that was 5 years ago, and I know a lot more now, so maybe it was just inexperience at the time...But mounting would be a pain, no?

I just want to mod it. If something can't be modded it's CRAP!
