Trackball hack
(1/2) > >>
ften:
I have a Kensington trackball mouse I hacked to hook up to my CP. It was actually really simple to do. I was wondering if there is a big difference between using a trackball made for a computer and one for the arcade. I don't have any arcade trackballs to reference for feel.

Thanks,
FTen
whammoed:
computer trackball is usually smaller and doesn't spin as freely as an arcade trackball.
Stingray:
No comparison. A real arcade trackball is vastly superior.

Thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna stick with the mouse trackball, I looked at arcade trackballs prices,  pretty expencive. 

missioncontrol: I'm planning to update my site tonight with pictures of the hack. Although it's nothing impressive, i just desolder the normal microswitches and resolder in wires in there place. I love when hacks are simple.
