Actually, I've been playing Crystal Castles lately.

Well, i guess I need a trackball to go with the PS2/USB adapter I just bought from TornadoTerry ... and I should probably get a couple of Supers "just in case". 

Guess I know where I'm going tommorrow!

Tks, RayB for the headsup (was there last week and no sign of any sale).

Damm had a car for three weeks now they have a sale.

Part # 56-0100-11HL

is that the 'trackball of choice' for mamers?

[RayB]

is that the 'trackball of choice' for mamers?

I have no clue, but it normally sells for $89 from Happ, while here it is selling for about $55 from this distributor.

[CheffoJeffo]

Interesting ... I hadn't noticed the "new product" aspect ... the 56-0100-11HL used to be listed with the rest of the 3" trackballs. Wonder if it is just a change in presentation due to the "Happs Trackball Inside" stickers for GT cabs.

Hope this isn't really too different (or that they have other tracks on sale too) and can be used with the PS2/USB interface.

[RayB]

The specs say that the molex plug adheres to AMOA standards. So it's probably standard like all other trackballs. THe difference here I think is the extra mounting spacer they include with it.

[CheffoJeffo]

Just picked up a pair of the trackballs (and some Supers) and everything looks good vis-a-vis the USB/PS/2 kit, though I wish they had more choices on sale than just the white ...

Tks again for the heads up!

[Scott84]

where is the sale on the website?

anyone notice the auction headline is screwed up near the end?

[RayB]

It's not on the website. I walked in, and the specials were printed on this old-fashioned stuff called paper. 

[CheffoJeffo]

We should note that there were only 5 items in the sale (at least they were the only ones listed on the paper) ... the big three were those mentionned by RayB.

Other items were a touchscreen interface (I think ... didn't pay attention ... it was busy this morning) and a coin sorter.

[Scott84]

Do you know when it ends?

[GGKoul]

Hmm... that trackball price is CHEAP!!!

[RayB]

The sheet says "March/April" specials. So I assume until end of April? (or until supplies run out?)

[CheffoJeffo]

There looked to be about 30-35 trackball boxes stacked behind the counter (and a big box of Supers).

Dunno if that is their entire supply for the sale, but it was rather busy there this morning.

[DreamWeb]

ugh!  I JUST bought an imperial 3" (ps/2) for about the same price + shipping and taxes.

Good Luck.  I don't have it.
