Is your trackball scratched?
Mark70:
I noticed some scratches in my trackball. I have a 3" happ standard white trackball. The reason I notice the scratches is because it's brand new and was perfectly shiny. I saw them and thought, how would that look on a translucent ball?
Just wanted to me sure I don't have a jammed bearing or something. The scratches are very superficial. Enough to see, but enough to dull the shine on the ball, and not enough to leave an groove in the surface.

I'd guess this is normal wear and tear, but I'd also make sure you don't wear a ring when you play.

I bought what I thought was a "new" translucent blue Happ 3" off of ebay and it has what looks like light scuffing on the ball. I guess I expected it to be perfectly smooth and free from imperfections.
Should it have been?
I'm thinking about buying another from ponyboy anyway. Then I can get a new acrylic 3" ball in orange or purple to replace my old one.

All trackballs, are going to scuff from the bearings, this can happen even when its being shipped from spinning, after you have used it 6 months it will have a lot of scuff marks

Same deal here. I actually bought 2. The first one was really scuffed and the second still had scratches but only on the ball itself. My gut feeling is that the buyer was reselling, but the electronics look new and the connectors are new? Anyone get one from the factory?
