I have a couple newbie questions so forgive me if they |
| Lilwolf:
you can buy a prehacked one for 12 bucks from Oscar (and I highly recommend them... I have 3)... But use that number as a base. look on ebay. You can't find them much anywhere else. But I bought 3 for 3 bucks each... then gave up and bought a prehacked one. |

Umm, my (limited) understanding is you need to hack a BALL mouse, not an optical mouse. And you don't throw out the optical sensor (or do you??) |
| cholin:
No, you dont. Ive seen a few reports and you can use the mouse PCB directly if you set it up right. Some trackballs with the 6-pronged connections, you can solder the wires directly to the board. |

I am using an Ultimarc trackball wired into an analog PS/2 port mouse hack. It is wired directly to the PCB without any problems. |
