Trackball very hard to roll - need help
pcdoctor:
I just received my Betson trackball and it's very hard to use.
I'm using Mame32 plus and trying to play Crystal Castles.
Any ideas?
I have the PS/2 version of the Betson trackball.
Thanks!
pcdoctor:
I think my trackball is defective.
When trying to roll left or right, it's very difficult.
I think the left/right axis is messed up.
Up and down is fine.
SirPeale:
Brand new ball, right?
Break in the bearings.

Have you had a look inside to check the rollers. Spin them with your fingers and see how they go - compare the left/right spin with the up/down spin. There could be something restricting the roller. How does the trackball feel when using it as a mouse in windows? Do you have the same problems? Also remember there are sensitivity settings for trackballs and they are different for different games.
pcdoctor:
Yes, brand new.
The left and right axis must be messed up or either the roller that controls the left and right function is not rolling properly.
