Ultimarc trackball review?
jcoleman:
Has anyone had luck, good or bad, with the Ultimarc trackballs? They're significantly cheaper than Happ's units, even with shipping.
Thanks,
John
SeanCyrusTowel:
just for a note, they are not 3" they are 2 1/4" which is the standard pool ball size :)
GGKoul:
Yep. If you order a ball from Ultimarc order the plate as well. As 2 1/4 plate can be hard to find.
gmorse:
I'm very happy with mine. Only thing to keep in mind is if you hook it up to a mouse hack, you'll need to use a 2.2k pull up resistor on each x and y line. Took me a while to get the thing to work because of that, but it's well worth the money.
Definitely order the mounting plate as well. I didn't and it took me quite a while to jury rig a solution. Would have saved a lot of grief.
jcoleman:
I'm actually planning to mount it in one of the Multicade trackball panels over at www.arcadeshop.com (which require a 2.25" trackball), so I won't need the mounting plate. I'm also hooking it up to a MiniPAC, so the resistor shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the responses!
