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

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

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?

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