Anyone ever used a Microsoft EasyBall?
BobA:
I have 2 of the balls. The trackball is basically a 1 button mouse. It is very large to let small hands grasp it and is a hollow sphere that does not have much inertial to allow it to spin. You can get a bit of spin out of it but it will not sustain like an arcade trackball.
Internally it is very shall we say sparce. The rollers and sensors are not arcade quality. They are similar to the bits you would find inside a mouse.
In my opinion. They are fun to play with for a short while but I would not waste time trying to build one into a cab. With all the work to build one into a control panel I would rather have a Wico or Happs. I do have a Wico.
Just my personal opinion.
