Help With Keyboard encoders

N8:
Well I have decided to start my arcade project and figure I better buy everything at once so I can stay organized.  I am planning to buy this http://www.centsibleamusements.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=374
trackball.  since I have 28 buttons, 2 eight way joysticks, one 4 way and a spinner, what would be the best and most cost efficient keyboard encoder to buy? I would like to use the trackball as a mouse.  I'm not sure if some keyboard encoders won't be able to use the trackball as a mouse but I'm sure there are ones that would be able to.

thanks in advance

BTW, virtually none of the encoders except the Mini-PAC will support a trackball, but you can use a mouse hack along with any of the other encoders.
Crazy Cooter:
Isn't $63 kind of expensive for a 2-1/4" raw trackball?

(I've only shopped for 3" ones)

I say go MiniPac!  I STILL dont understand why people would rather get anything else...minipac's got everything you need!  Best 25 bucks I ever spent... well not really...but same idea.
