I'm new too, but...has anybody used one of these to give input about them? It would only be slightly more to buy a blue trackball and run it through an Optipac or the Happ equivalent. The up side to doing that is the added connection slot for a spinner/steering wheel. But it really comes down to DOES IT WORK!? I mean, if you can save about 20 bucks on buying something like that, is it worth saving the money? Are they just some lame pieces of crap that someone's making tons of cash on, or do they work as well as a $90 trackball should???

It looks like a 3" Betson Imperial PS2 Trackball (wired w/ 3 buttons) with a blue translucent ball. The Betson Imperials are nice trackballs. At $90 it is overpriced however. You should be able to find one for $60 and $10 - $12 for the blue ball.
Unless your game is Golden Tee and you dig the high lip ball by HAPPS, The Betson will be just fine.

Well, my argument for that comment is that it would be 60 bucks for the trackball, 10 bucks for the ball, 20 bucks for the wiring job. How hard is the wiring job to do yourself??? It would cost you 20 bucks to hire a computer tech for half an hour...so
