| I am so stupid - drilled holes in the wrong places in plexi |

Yes I did and yes I am stupid. So let the verbal abuse start. I just completed my first cabinet and it turned out even better than I hoped for. Every thing works great and was a big hit with all my friends... except for the track ball. When my friends got ready to play a heated game of Golden Tee we realized that it alignment of the ball was all wrong. To my suprise I found out I mounted it crooked at an angle. The unit is off about 45 degrees. I now have to rerouter and drill new holes in the cp and plexi. Any suggestions on how to cover up the 4 holes that are now useless? |

I would spend the cash and get new plexi - better in the long run. Not that hard to mount the trackball at an incorrect 45 degree angle, it is shaped at a 45 degree angle, so one would expect to install it that way, but you really need to rotate it. I know I stared at mine dumbfoundedly for about 20 minutes until I realized how it should be situated. |

That's what I figured I would have to do, but was hoping for a quick fix solution. Thanks |

Yup don't sweat it dude I did the exact same thing. Drilled the holes on the trackball in a square rather than I diamond, had to make a hole new panel, lol. |

I don't know the first thing about trackballs, but if they are built and installed like computer mice, maybe you can software-adjust your directions? I am saying this because I remember in the 'old' Windows days when the mouse drivers would have a section where you could re-align the mouse axes (for those who might remember, it was the screen with the picture of a hot air ballon). It was great fun to annoy your friends by reconfiguring their mice to move the cursor sideways when they moved the mouse upwards.... ::) But in the later years I haven't seen this option in the mouse drivers (Logitech, at least). Anybody know why? Another XP incompatibility? |
