Anyone use just a trackball mouse as trackball?

DannyH:
Hi,

I have a trackball mouse here that isnt being used for anything. I was thinking about making it into a track ball for my arcade machine.

Would this work and has anyone done this before?
ArcadeMaze:
I use a logitech trackball mouse as a temporary solution (sitting on top of my panel) until I can get around to mounting my 3" Golden Tee type trackball.  It works okay as a temp solution, but I wouldn't use it as my permanent trackball.   
DannyH:
I am not really that fused about having a wizbang trackball as I only use it for Golden tee and thats usually only after a few bears with the guys before heading out.

Hmm will pick one up for $10 and see how it goes.

Cheers

I use one in my machine.

Although I don't really play any trackball games besides Centipede. Works fine as far as I'm concerned. Although I should take a picture with my new trackball in, switched out my brown trackball with a black cue ball, goes a lot better with my buttons.

I might try and get one like you had, I am in no hurry for it so can sit out and wait for a bargain!
