Did you use the same power hack as this guy or did you get the power from the mouse? NoBonus |

I drew my power directly from the computer's power supply. -S |

How can I get power from the mouse? I am making a stand-alone trackball and do not want to have to modify my computer case to do it. Would it be easier to just get a 5v AC adapter that plugs into the wall or is there a way to get the power from the mouse to the trackball? NoBonus |

If you go USB, you can pull the 5v directly from the USB line. |
