Betson/Imperial 3" Trackball - how to mount with no screws showing

Pages: (1/2) > >>

pcdoctor:

I just ordered an Imperial 3" green trackball with PS/2 connector.
How can this trackball be mounted without the screws showing?

Is there any way to get my trackball mounted like this?


If so, is this what I need?



SirPeale:

Hope you didn't pay too much for that ball, I've got a ton of used ones for cheap.

That being said, your mounting plate appears to have threaded holes where the trackball mounts to.  The bolts should go from the underside and screw into them.

If you look under the project announcements thread, ummm, here it is

he has an interesting solution for mounting a TB with no screws showing.

I used a happs no bolts showing plate. Its slightly smaller than the betson plate but the bolt holes are the same. You will have to drill out the holes on the trackball a little but thats easy and it works great.


GGKoul:

If you want to hid the mounting plate under some art work.  You would need to countersink the area where you'll be mounting the track ball.

IE: Rotor out the area to @ the depth of the mounting plate.

It's easy.  I just did it last night.
