good ebay deal (trackball)

The Betson Imperial PS2 with 3 buttons is wired..

All you do it plug in the trackball (PS2) and use the 3 pre-wired buttons and it is seen as a 3 button mouse.

Std trackballs are actually more complicated to wire as you would either need a mouse hack or an interface board such as the optipac, etc.

I admit defeat (or stupidity), I didn't realize that these come as a PS2 wired from the factory, I thought someone was doing a wiring job on em.  As I said, I'm fairly new.  And now that you told me that, you can order the red or  green ones for 79.00 off of the Betson website...evidently the blue one might be hard to come by because that guy must have realized that there were people like me who would think about paying 90 bucks for one.
Oh well, I was REALLY planning on buying one in the near future anyway.  I want one of the smaller ones.
mcdo15:
shipping is included in the price...

i will look up the other ones...

i'm a simple guy,  i like to buy stuff that just plugs in..

thank you all for feedback

Well, depending on HOW simple you like things...you know you can get one from that guy, which makes it simple.  You know what the price is with shipping included, which makes it simple.  You won't have to go looking around, which makes it simple.  If that's the price with shipping included, most places will charge you 10 to 15 bucks for shipping...
So if you wanna go the REALLY simple route, you can buy one from him, and just pretend that you're shopping at the mall instead of Wal-Mart (if you catch my meaning).

With shipping, the trackball plate, and buttons included it isn't too bad pricewise.

With that said, I bought mine new in box for $40, and later added the upgraded wheels, and bought the mounting plate from Bob Roberts. Although mine is not a lighted model.

It is a great trackball, especially with the upgraded wheels.
