Where have you all been buying your arcade trackball to USB (or PS2) adaptors? For 9 bucks, the ones on Oscar Controls were a great bargain. Now what do we do? I ain't going back to hackin a mouse! Those days are over  ;)

I bought a 3" happ USB/PS2 trackball from ponyboy in the BST forum.. which I guess is great if your buying a new one.. but not so great if your wanting to convert an exsisting trackball..

It looks like the Happs parts numbers have changed.

Yes, it's possible that Happ part numbers have changed. My hard copy of their catalog is 3 years old.  :o

The only problem with the Happ interface is the fact that it's $45!!

You could just get an OptiPac for that and have access to more controls
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

Yeah.. especially when you can get the complete USB/PS2 trackball for $80 from ponyboy..
