Trackballs - whats the diff?

I've done both methods, and prefer the trackball plate.
It's alot easier to do, and the results are PERFECT--as opposed to the "pretty good" I got with the plateless method.

cholin:

But the plates are like $15 US!  Why in the world would I buy a piece of plastic for fifteen dollars plus S+H plus conversion rate.  Wouldnt it just be better for me to get it custom, or even cut my own plate?

If you can go that route, then yes.

I prefer the hidden hardware models from Happ over anything else.
They have a solid plate on the top, that you rout flush with your CP, but bolt through the CP, and mount the trackball from the bottom side.

cholin:

Got a link to the product?  Happ has so much stuff.  Then I need to see how much it would be and if it would work with an Ultimarc Trackball, which it should.  See if it's worth doing the deal with StarBurst.

THIS style mounting plate.

Not sure if they work with Ultimarc balls, or not, but you could email Andy at Ultimarc, to find out for sure.

They work really great if you rout them in flush to the top, and then go over them with your CP overlay.
