Ldsfunaz:
I'm gonna Go with a USB Happs and a tornado spinner.
krick:
If you have a USB trackball and USB spinner, then an Opti-Pac is totally useless for you.

An Opti-Pac is designed to have devices direct wired into it.

If you wanted to direct wire your devices using an opti-pac, you'd have to convert them to non-usb devices, which would requre either swapping the optical encoder boards or modifying the existing boards (assuming that is possible).

This would definitely be a lot of work.
Ldsfunaz:
awesome, so i would just need a USB hub then to get them both workign together?
Ldsfunaz:
umm Im not a big bumper but i feel this is a simple enogh question..  a usb hub will work then?
clanggedin:
You could buy a USB card with enough ports in it and then plug the spinner and ball directly into your PC. That may be a cheaper solution too.
